Degradation of resin constituents in various wood species by the white rot fungus Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55
1999 - IRG/WP 99-10301
In previous studies, the white-rot fungus Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55 was shown to cause extensive degradation of lipophilic extractives (resin) in Scots pine wood. Further research was carried out in order to investigate the ability of Bjerkandera sp. for reducing resinous constituents in various…

Controlling the sapstain fungus Ceratocystis coerulescens by metabolites obtained from Bjerkandera adusta and Talaromyces flavus
1993 - IRG/WP 93-10024
…purpose of this study was to determine if metabolites from Bjerkandera adusta and Talaromyces flavus would (1) decolorize stain in wood caused by Ceratocystis coerulescens and (2) prevent sapstain by Ceratocystis coerulescens. We studied the interaction of the sapstain fungus Ceratocystis coerulescens against the…

The biodegradation of creosote oil by various species of white rot fungi and bacteria isolated from the contaminated soil
2018 - IRG/WP 18-50334
…in creosote oil, by two white rot fungal species (Bjerkandera adusta and Irpex lacteus) and three bacterial species (Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas sp. OS4 and Rahnella aquatilis). Bacteria were isolated from the soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons from the northern area of Poland. Tests with the…

Assessment of decay risk of airborne wood-decay fungi
2012 - IRG/WP 12-10787
…that the isolate consisted of 5 major taxa, namely Bjerkandera sp., Phanerochaete sp. (A), Phanerochaete sp. (B), Polyporales sp. Polyporus arcularius, and 6 minor ones. Statistical analysis revealed that the disks attached by Phanerochaete spp. or Polyporales sp. showed higher mean mass loss. It is concluded…

Inducing and Stimulating Spalting in Sugar Maple
2008 - IRG/WP 08-10652
…ratings dropped below the acceptable threshold, and Bjerkandera adusta and Trametes versicolor reached the same capacity at 8 weeks (Robinson et al. 2007a, 2007b). In subsequent work, sugar maple blocks were pressure treated with sub-lethal levels of copper sulphate in an attempt to stimulate spalting,…

Growth of selected wood decay fungi on various agar-supplemented media
2003 - IRG/WP 03-10456
…chrysosporium, Phanerochaete sordida, Trametes versicolor, Bjerkandera adusta, Antrodia vaillantii and Leucogyrophana pinastri. The results obtained show that growth rates of the white rot decay fungi were higher than the brown rot decay fungi on all the tested nutrient agar media. The highest growth rates of the…

Mycoparasitism by some white rot fungi on blue stain fungi in culture
1986 - IRG/WP 1304
…stain fungi. The most interesting species among them is Bjerkandera adusta (Willd. ex Fr.) Karst., causing almost complete or complete decoloration of the hyphae of the blue stain fungi in culture on agar substrate. Obviously, complex enzyme reactions are involved; the main role probably performed by peroxidases.…
