Tolerance of Serpula lacrymans to copper-based wood preservatives
Serpula lacrymans, the dry rot fungus, is considered the most economically important wood decay fungus in certain temperate regions of the world, namely northern Europe, Japan, and Australia. Previously, copper-based wood preservatives were commonly used for pressure treatment of wood for building construction, but some decay fungi are known to be copper tolerant. In this study, soil-block test...
متن کاملInfluence of acidification of CCB (Cu/Cr/B) impregnated wood on fungal copper tolerance.
Copper tolerant fungi are known for more than 60 years but the complete mechanisms of copper tolerance by these fungi are still not fully understood. Copper tolerance has previously been linked to oxalic acid excretion by copper tolerant brown rot fungi. The oxalic acid then reacts with copper in the wood to form an insoluble and therefore less toxic copper oxalate. It has been suggested that c...
متن کاملOxalic acid overproduction by copper-tolerant brown-rot basidiomycetes on southern yellow pine treated with copper-based preservatives
Accumulation of oxalic acid (OA) by brown-rot fungi and precipitation of copper oxalate crystals in wood decayed by copper-tolerant decay fungi has implicated OA in the mechanism of copper tolerance. Understanding the role of OA in copper tolerance is important due to an increasing reliance on copper-based wood preservatives. In this study, four copper-tolerant brown-rot fungi were evaluated fo...
متن کاملShort-read sequencing for genomic analysis of the brown rot fungus Fibroporia radiculosa.
The feasibility of short-read sequencing for genomic analysis was demonstrated for Fibroporia radiculosa, a copper-tolerant fungus that causes brown rot decay of wood. The effect of read quality on genomic assembly was assessed by filtering Illumina GAIIx reads from a single run of a paired-end library (75-nucleotide read length and 300-bp fragment size) at three different stringency levels and...
متن کاملChelating efficiency and thermal, mechanical and decay resistance performances of chitosan copper complex in wood-polymer composites.
Wood-polymer composites (WPC) have been extensively used for building products, outdoor decking, automotive, packaging materials, and other applications. WPC is subject to fungal and termite attacks due to wood components enveloped in the thermoplastic matrix. Much effort has been made to improve decay resistance of WPC using zinc borate and other chemicals. In this study, chitosan copper compl...
