Interactions of heavy metals with white-rot fungi
P Baldrian - Enzyme and Microbial technology, 2003 - Elsevier
White-rot fungi require trace amounts of essential heavy metals such as Cd, Mn or Zn for
their growth, but these metals are toxic when present in excess. Toxic heavy metals can …

Linking molecular deadwood-inhabiting fungal diversity and community dynamics to ecosystem functions and processes in Central European forests
Fungi play vital roles in the decomposition of deadwood due to their secretion of various
enzymes that break down plant cell-wall complexes. The compositions of wood-inhabiting …

Lignin demethylation and polysaccharide decomposition in spruce sapwood degraded by brown rot fungi
The organic residues produced in the brown-rot (BR) of wood by many basidiomycetes fungi
are ubiquitous on most coniferous forest floors. This degraded wood tissue is characterized …

Examination of the chemical changes in spruce wood degraded by brown-rot fungi using FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopy
Spruce sapwood was subjected to brown rot fungi (Coniophora puteana) for up to 80 days to
study the degradation of the cell wall. The chemical composition of spruce sapwood that was …
