Basidiomycota brown rot fungus ( Fomitopsis pinicola ) and two white fungi Phlebia radiata , Trichaptum abietinum were cultivated on thin slices of spruce wood individually in interspecies combinations. Within 12 months, F. substantially decomposed observed as mass loss, also three-species However, through hyphal interactions negatively affected the brown-rot indicative iron reduction capacity ...

In agricultural production, carbendazim and other pesticides are used to prevent soybean root rot. However, degrades slowly affects a series of biochemical processes such as soil biological nitrogen fixation nutrient activation in the natural environment. This study mainly investigated effects Rhizophagus intraradices, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, on biomass, incidence rot, total number bacteri...

The development of wood decay caused by 12 major root-rot and trunk-rot fungi was investigated in vitro with sapwood extracted from nine ornamental and landscape hardwood and conifer species native to southern temperate regions of North America, Europe, and the lower Mississippi Delta. Wood decay rates based on dry weight loss for 108 host tree–wood decay fungi combinations were compared at 21 ...

Balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum) is a kind of mountain herbs whose roots have restorative properties and the cultivating acreage of balloon flower has been steadily increasing in Korea. More frequent rain and high amount of rainfalls as a result of climate changes predisposed balloon flower to the outbreaks of root rot at high-density cultivation area in recent years. Root crowns were u...

Wood colonizing fungi are specialists that exploit the lignocellulose of cell wall components in host wood cylinders as a carbon sources. Some these specialized fungi, including Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fmed) and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora (Pch), cause disease Esca grapevine. This complex includes grapevine leaf stripe (GLSD) canopies white rot black streaking trunks. The present study gained...

Laccase has huge potential application in all aspects of biotechnology due to the ability laccase oxidize a wide range phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. The future success such applications requires large amounts with low costs. White-rot fungi are important groups production. In this study, three white-rot fungi, Phlebia acerina Han 618, Trametes hirsuta 726, Coriolopsis trogii 751, isolate...

Industrially produced carbon-based nanomaterials (CNM), including fullerenes and nanotubes, will be introduced into the environment in increasing amounts in the next decades. One likely environmental chemical transformation of C60 is oxidation to C60 fullerol through both abiotic- and biotic-mediated means. Unfortunately, knowledge of the environmental fate of oxidized CNM is lacking. This stud...

Laccase belongs to the small group of enzymes called the blue multi copper oxidases. Laccase is widely distributed in higher plants and fungi. In fungi, laccase is present in Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes, Basidiomycetes and is particularly abundant in many white-rot fungi that degrade lignin. Laccases have been subject of intensive research in the last decades due to their broad substrate specif...
