Molecular analysis of the dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans
… extract from standard mycelium profile of S. lacrymans FPRL 12C. Both techniques enabled a reference profile for this organism to be established. A polyclonal antiserum raised against standard mycelium of S. lacrymans FPRL 12C was used as the immunological probe. <br/><br/>The profiles of …

Biological control of the dry rot fungus <i>Serpula lacrymans</i>
<i>Serpula lacrymans</i> causes wood decay, which is of major economic importance in many areas of the world and in the U.K. alone £400 million pounds worth of damage is caused on an annual basis. Conventional treatment regimes for wood decay caused by the wood decay basidiomycete <i>Serpula …

An investigation of the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by <i>Trichoderma</i> spp. and their mode of action against <i>Serpula lacrymans</i>
… their importance as a mechanism of control of <i>Serpula lacrymans</i>. Volatile interactions between a range of <i>Trichoderma </i>isolates grown on 3 different media (malt extract, minimal media and sawdust) and 4 <i>S. lacrymans</i> isolates demonstrated that levels of inhibition were …

The heat-shock response in <i>Serpula s</i>pecies at the cellular and molecular level
… focuses on the effects of heat stress on <i>Serpula lacrymans</i> and <i>S. himantioides</i> (which have been previously shown to be relatively thermosensitive and thermotolerant respectively) in relation to the heat shock response. A part of this response is the production of heat-shock …

An investigation of selected effects of environment on the dry rot fungus <i>Serpula Lacrimans </i>
… and domestic isolates of the dry rot fungus, <i>Serpula lacrymans</i>, to temperature, water potential and pH. Comparisons were also made between their capacities of timber decay. The ‘wild’ Himalayan isolates displayed slightly less marked sensitivities to high and low temperature and lowered …

Calorimetric methods for the study of fungi on building materials
The aim of this project is to study the fungal growth habits on building materials as a function of humidity, temperature and other environmental parameters. The method of calorimetry is used as a way to quantify fungal activity on building materials. Calorimetry is a general, but sensitive method …
