In the framework of a research project on corticioid fungi (Basidiomycota) from Cape Verde, we collected several specimens provisionally assigned to Coniophora sp. On basis morphological and molecular analyses, identified these as C. eremophila Lindsey & Gilb. These records extend geographical distribution this species by approximately 8,800 km in straight line west east, its previously kno...

Coniophora olivacea has been traditionally considered as an important decay agent of building timbers broadleaf and conifer woods, causes significant damage on doors, window frames other wood structures exposed to the environment. A more restricted role tree pathogen also reported in cold climates. Studies predicted distribution potentially invasive species are a useful tool focus management ef...

The voluntary withdrawal of chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood from most residential applications has increased the use of non-arsenical copper-based organic wood preservatives. Because the arsenic component of CCA controlled coppertolerant fungi, scientists have renewed interest in and concern about the decay capacity in the important copper-tolerant group of brown-rot fungi. We have...

Cellulolytic enzyme preparations active against various forms of cellulose have been reported by a number of investigators who have used a variety of different sources (8). Fungi which have been employed for the preparation of such extracts are Sporotrichum cards (15), Aspergillus oryxae (3,2), Merulius lachrymans (9), and Coniophora cerebella (7), while bacteria have included Bacterium protoxo...
