Two invasive populations of the dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans show divergent population genetic structures.
The dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans is a devastating basidiomycete occurring in wooden constructions in temperate regions worldwide. In this study, we compare the genetic structures of two invasive populations from Europe and Japan. Microsatellite data from 14 loci and DNA sequences from four loci demonstrated that the two populations were highly differentiated. Significant isolation by distan...
متن کاملThe Domestic Dry Rot Fungus, Serpula lacrymans, its natural origins and biological control
The dry rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans, is one of the most important wood decay fungi in the built environment causing many hundreds of millions of pounds of damage each year in many countries around the world. This Basidiomycete is particularly common in countries of northern Europe especially where bad maintenance, particularly of old properties, and inappropriate design or alteration may resu...
متن کاملAsian origin and rapid global spread of the destructive dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans.
The dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans (Basidiomycota) is the most damaging destroyer of wood construction materials in temperate regions. While being a widespread aggressive indoor biodeterioration agent, it is only found in a few natural environments. The geographical source of spread and colonization by this fungus in human environments is thus somewhat of an enigma. Employing genetic markers ...
متن کاملExtremely low AFLP variation in the european dry rot fungus (Serpula lacrymans): implications for self/nonself-recognition.
The devastating dry rot fungus, Serpula lacrymans, has a worldwide occurrence in buildings. We investigated the genetic variation in European isolates belonging to five vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) by AFLP analysis. Our results indicate that S. lacrymans in Europe is genetically extremely homogenous; only five out of 308 scored AFLP fragments (1.6 %) were polymorphic. In contrast, S. ...
متن کاملEvidence from Serpula lacrymans that 2,5-dimethoxyhydroquinone Is a lignocellulolytic agent of divergent brown rot basidiomycetes.
Basidiomycetes that cause brown rot of wood are essential biomass recyclers in coniferous forest ecosystems and a major cause of failure in wooden structures. Recent work indicates that distinct lineages of brown rot fungi have arisen independently from ligninolytic white rot ancestors via loss of lignocellulolytic enzymes. Brown rot thus proceeds without significant lignin removal, apparently ...
