Enzyme Studies on the Mechanism of Wood Decay
Nature, 1947Previous studies of the metabolic activities of a group of wood-destroying moulds (Merulius niveus, M. tremellosus, M. confluens and Fomes annosus) established the formation of ethyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, acetic and succinic acids by their action on cellulose, glucose and/or xylose1.

Immunological detection of decay in wood
Wood Science and Technology, 1988An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect and quantify Postia placenta (Fr.) M. Lars. et Lomb. in decaying wood. The fungus was detected as early as ten days after inoculation suggesting that ELISA may be effective in detecting early incipient decay. Decay-induced weight loss in P.

Detecting decay in wood components
2005This paper reviewed current inspection techniques for decay detection and it provides guidelines on the use of various non-destructive (NDE) methods in locating and defining areas of decay within wood structural members. Visual inspection and probing techniques are commonly used for locating exterior deterioration of wood members.

Fungal Communities in the Decay of Wood
1988Nowhere, we believe, can the presence of fungal communities, their structure, dynamics, and diversity, be more explicit and susceptible to direct analysis than in decaying wood. In consequence, wood provides an excellent venue, both for the study of community interactions, and for the development of a conceptual framework within which they can be ...

A practical look at Wood Decay
Economic Botany, 1972The natural durability of the central core of heartwood in trunks of many trees within the forest primeval was recognized by American pioneers who chose black locust, cedar, and chestnut for fence posts and put cypress, redwood, and longleaf pine into construction that has endured for hundreds of years.

Delignification by Wood-Decay Fungi
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1991Wood decay fungi are unique because of their capacity to decompose lignified cell walls. A few species are of special interest because they can selectively remove lignin from wood without extensive cellulose degradation. Lignin is a complex, heterogeneous phenylpropanoid structural polymer that occurs throughout the cell wall (71, 112).

Decay of Chemically Treated Wood
1975The three basic reasons for decay of chemically treated wood, namely substandard treatment of wood, detoxification or removal of preservative chemicals by wood-inhabiting and wood-destroying microorganisms, and preservative tolerance by wood-destroying fungi are discussed.
