The nature of osmiophilic particles and their distribution during different stages of brown and white rot decay

IRG/WP 1213

K Messner, H Stachelberger

The distribution of osmiophilic particles during the course of brown and white rot decay was investigated by applying transmission electron microscopic (TEM) methods. It was found that it correlates with the brown and white rot pattern.The osmiophilic particles are produced by the fungus and are supposed to be wood rotting enzymes.
