Acetylxylan esterase is the key to the host specialization of wood-decay fungi predicted by random forest machine-learning algorithm

Journal of Wood Science
Wood-decay fungi produce extracellular enzymes that metabolize wood components such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Each fungus has a preference of wood species as the host, but identification of these preferences requires a huge amount of ...

Bacterial community succession in pine-wood decomposition

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Though bacteria and fungi are common inhabitants of decaying wood, little is known about the relationship between bacterial and fungal community dynamics during natural wood decay. Based on previous studies involving inoculated wood blocks, strong fungal

Risk of Damage Inside Wooden Cultural Heritage Sites Based on Temperature, Humidity, and Airborne Fungi in South Korea

BioResources
The temperature, humidity, and indoor airborne fungi were evaluated at 24 wooden cultural heritage sites (WCHs) (5 from field surveys and 19 from previous studies). Surface contaminating fungi was present year-round in the indoor space of WCHs.

Extracellular oxidative metabolism of wood decay fungi [PDF]

, 2010
Substantial progress has been made toward understanding the fundamental physiology and genetics of wood decay fungi, microbes that are capable of degrading all major components of plant cell walls. Efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass has been hampered in part by limitations in our understanding of enzymatic mechanisms of plant cell wall ...
