Assessment of brown-rot decay using X-ray computer tomography and ultrasonic measurements
Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) wood cube specimens were exposed to Gloeophyllum fungus (Gloeophyllum trabeum) for increasing periods of time ranging from one week to twelve weeks. The corresponding mass of each of these specimens was recorded before and after they were subjected to the controlled …

Synergistic effect on wood degradation by interspecific interactions of white and brown rot fungi
Wood-rotting fungi play an important role in carbon and nitrogen cycles in nature. They have different strategies for wood degradation and utilization of nutrients. Traditionally, wood-rotting fungi have been classified as white rot, brown rot, and soft rot fungi based on the differences in their …

A Fungal secretome tailored to enable a radical (oxidative) wood decay mechanism in brown rot fungi
… classified by the physical properties of the rotted wood as white, brown, and soft rot fungi – with brown and white rot fungi being the most efficient. These properties are correlated with important genetic and regulatory differences that distinguish the different modes of decay. Recently, it …

Extracellular Enzyme Production and Wood Degradation by Freshwater Lignicolous Fungi
… habitats, fungi, especially white- and brown-rot fungi, are important decomposers of wood. It is not known, however, whether fungi play a comparable role in freshwater systems. Although numerous fungal species have been reported from submerged wood, little is known about their …

Effects of environmental factors on wood decay micromorphology of Pinus radiata and Fagus sylvatica, and its significance for in-ground wood preservative performance
… didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC)), chlorothalonil plus chlorpyriphos in oil (CC) (1.07% (m/m) chlorothalonil) and a 60:40 mixture of creosote plus oil (37% m/m creosote). F. sylvatica stakes were treated with CCA (0.42% m/m a.i.), CuAz (0.54% m/m a.i. Cu) and CC (0.98% m/m …

Detection and analysis of the wood decay fungus <i>Lentinus Lepideus </i>Fr. using immunological probes
… followed by in descending order of magnitude, brown rot basidiomycete fungi, white rot basidiomycete fungi and deuteromycete fungi.<br/><br/>Wood blocks artificially infected with <i>L. lepideus</i> were prepared, pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> .L) and lime (<i>Tilia vulgaris </i>.Hayne) being …

Fungal Degradation Properties of Young Small Diameter Genetically Modified Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides)
… (Salix sp.) trees were examined using the white rot fungi Trametes versicolor and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. An agar plate method and a modified soil-agar block method were compared using non-standard size stem parts. The agar plate method did not prove to be suitable for testing materials when …

Effect of benomyl, Topsin-M, and Botran against Monilinia fructicola and Rhizopus nigricans on peach and nectarine fruits and in vitro
… Rhizopus nigricans Erh., the causal organisms of brown rot and Rhizopus rot, respectively, have long been recognized as the two major causes of post-harvest rots on peach and nectarine fruits. Fruit losses of as much as 50% may occur during storage, transport, and marketing from these two diseases …

Variation in peach fruit susceptibility to Monilinia laxa and gene expression
Brown rot caused by Monilinia laxa and Monilinia fructigena is considered one of the most important diseases affecting Prunus species. Although some losses can result from the rotten fruits in the orchard, most of the damage is caused to fruits during the post-harvest phase. Several studies …

An investigation of the durability of UK grown softwood distribution poles CCA-treated by sap-displacement
… to have a significant adverse effect on protection of the poles or to act as a soil pollution hazard.<br/><br/>Exposure of pole sections to the natural soil microflora in the accelerated decay system resulted in untreated control sections suffering extensive soft rot decay of their curved …

Microbial transformation of lignin
… versicolor, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Sporotrichum pulverulentum, which being white-rot fungi are traditional lignin degraders, were found to be much less efficient in lignin metabolism than Aspergillus fumigatus, a soft-rot fungus isolated in our laboratory. Lignin fermentations with …
