Natural decomposition of hornbeam wood decayed by the white rot fungus Trametes versicolor.
The impacts of white-rot fungi on altering wood chemistry have been studied mostly in vitro. However, in vivo approaches may enable better assessment of the nature of interactions between saprotrophic fungi and host tree in nature. Hence, decayed and sound wood samples were collected from a naturally infected tree (Carpinus betulus L.). Fruiting bodies of the white rot fungus Trametes versicolo...
متن کاملPenetration 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 کاملInfluence of Populus genotype on gene expression by the wood decay fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
We examined gene expression patterns in the lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium when it colonizes hybrid poplar (Populus alba × tremula) and syringyl (S)-rich transgenic derivatives. A combination of microarrays and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) allowed detection of a total of 9,959 transcripts and 793 proteins. Comparisons of P. chrysosporium transcr...
متن کاملVisual Cues for the Retrieval of Landmark Memories by Navigating Wood Ants
BACKGROUND Even on short routes, ants can be guided by multiple visual memories. We investigate here the cues controlling memory retrieval as wood ants approach a one- or two-edged landmark to collect sucrose at a point along its base. In such tasks, ants store the desired retinal position of landmark edges at several points along their route. They guide subsequent trips by retrieving the appro...
