A Metagenomic Survey of Wood Decay Fungi in the Urban Trees of Singapore [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Mature tropical urban trees are susceptible to root and trunk rot caused by pathogenic fungi. A metagenomic survey of such fungi was carried out on 210 soil and tissue samples collected from 134 trees of 14 common species in Singapore. Furthermore, 121 fruiting bodies were collected and barcoded.

Evolutionary dynamics of host specialization in wood-decay fungi [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 The majority of wood decomposing fungi are mushroom-forming Agaricomycetes, which exhibit two main modes of plant cell wall decomposition: white rot, in which all plant cell wall components are degraded, including lignin, and brown rot, in which lignin is modified but not appreciably removed.

Cytochrome P450 Complement May Contribute to Niche Adaptation in Serpula Wood-Decay Fungi [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Serpula wood-decay fungi occupy a diverse range of natural and man-made ecological niches. Serpula himantioides is a forest-floor generalist with global coverage and strong antagonistic ability, while closely related species Serpula lacrymans contains ...

Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale [PDF]
New PhytologistSummary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of ...

Diversity of Endophytic Fungi Isolated from Prunus yedoensis and Their Antifungal Activity Against Wood Decay Fungi [PDF]
MicroorganismsEndophytic fungi play a vital role in protecting and promoting the growth of their host plants. The diversity of fungal endophytes has been documented across different host plant species and varies depending on factors such as the species of the host ...

Improving antifungal properties of wood with copper, zinc and cerium containing chemicals
Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2021 Wood being an organic material can be degraded and destroyed by wood-destroying organisms. For this purpose, many wood preservatives have been developed from the past to the present, and are still being developed.

Changes in the Chemical Composition and Decay Resistance of Thermally-Modified Hevea brasiliensis Wood. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In this study the effect of thermal treatment on the equilibrium moisture content, chemical composition and biological resistance to decay fungi of juvenile and mature Hevea brasiliensis wood (rubber wood) was evaluated. Samples were taken from a 53-year-

A breakthrough for wood decay fungi [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2000 For wood mycologists, the work of Savory (1954a,b) marked an important step in the understanding of decay processes by lignolytic fungi. His description of decay by ascomycete and deuteromycete fungi in wood from industrial water cooling towers revealed a particular pattern observed previously by Bailey & Vestal (1937), Tamblyn (1937) and Barghoorn

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2021 Brown rot fungi degrade wood in a two-step process in which enzymatic hydrolysis is preceded by an oxidative degradation phase. While a detailed understanding of the molecular processes during brown rot decay is mandatory for being able to better protect
