Proteins expressed by the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum were characterized from
inoculated southern yellow pine sapwood undergoing decay, from pure cultures of the …

Wood is one of our most important natural resources. Surprisingly, we know hardly anything
about the details of the process of wood formation. The aim of this work was to describe the …

Abstract Background The white-rot Agaricomycetes species Phlebia radiata is an efficient
wood-decaying fungus degrading all wood components, including cellulose, hemicellulose …

Fungi play a key role cycling nutrients in forest ecosystems, but the mechanisms remain
uncertain. To clarify the enzymatic processes involved in wood decomposition, the …

Brown-rot fungi are rapid holocellulose degraders and are the most predominant degraders
of coniferous wood products in North America. Brown-rot fungi degrades wood by both …

Proteomics studies of fungal systems have progressed dramatically based on the availability
of more fungal genome sequences in recent years. Different proteomics strategies have …

Wood-degrading fungi use a sequence of oxidative and hydrolytic mechanisms to loosen
lignocellulose and then release and metabolize embedded sugars. These temporal …

White and brown rot fungi efficiently deconstruct lignocellulose in wood, Earth's largest pool
of aboveground biotic carbon and an important natural resource. Despite its vital …

Deadwood provides habitat for fungi and serves diverse ecological functions in forests. We
already have profound knowledge of fungal assembly processes, physiological and …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis was used to separate the extracellular
proteins produced by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Solid-substrate …
