Penetration capacity of the wood-decay fungus Physisporinus vitreus
Purpose: Bioincising is a biotechnological process for improving the permeability of refractory wood such as Norway spruce heartwood using the wood-decay fungus Physisporinus vitreus. The degradation of the bordered pit membranes by P. vitreus in its first stage of wood colonization enhances the uptake of preservatives and wood modification substances, whereas the strength of the material is no...
متن کاملModelling the Hyphal Growth of the Wood - decay Fungus
18 The white-rot fungus, Physisporinus vitreus, degrades the membranes of bordered pits in 19 tracheids and consequently increases the permeability of wood, which is a process that can be 20 used by the wood industry to improve the uptake of wood preservatives and environmentally 21 benign wood modification substances to enhance the use and sustainability of native conifer 22 wood species. To u...
متن کاملComparison of general fungal and basidiomycete-specific ITS primers for identification of wood decay fungi
The identity of the fungi associated with and responsible for wood decay could lead to the development of more environmentally benign wood preservative systems. In this study we have reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of a select group of basidiomycete fungi using nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. We then compared this to trees generated from restriction fra...
متن کاملExperimental method to (quantify progressive stages of decay of wood by basidiomycete fungi
A biological exposure method was developed that allows wood samples to be progressively removed for monitoring colonization and decay by basidiomycete fungi. Monitoring involves strength tests, determination of weight loss, and chemical analysis. To optimize the procedure, several variations of the method were tested using two species of brown-rot fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum and Oligoporus plac...
متن کاملStudies in Wood Decay
Circumstantial evidence is presented which indicates that Polyporus volvatus is parasitic. Cultures of Polyporus volvatus and Fomes igniarius may be obtained from the young sporophores by the tissue method. In Polyporus volvatus the presence of the following enzymes was demonstrated: esterase, maltase, lactase, sucrase, raffinase, diastase, inulase, cellulase, hemicellulase, glucosidase, rennet...
