| evaluation of the white-rot fungi ganoderma australe and ceriporiopsis subvermispora in biotechnological applications. | ganoderma australe is a white-rot fungus that causes a selective wood biodelignification in some hardwoods found in the chilean rainforest. ceriporiopsis subvermispora is also a lignin-degrading fungus used in several biopulping studies. the enzymatic system responsible for lignin degradation in wood can also be used to degrade recalcitrant organic pollutants in liquid effluents. in this work, two strains of g. australe and one strain of c. subvermipora were comparatively evaluated in the biodeg ... | 2008 | 18712558 |
| tolerance to wood preservatives by copper-tolerant wood-rot fungi native to south-central chile. | understanding the effect of heavy metals and wood preservatives on the growth of wood-rot fungi native to a certain region may improve reliability in determining the effectiveness of antifungal products, particularly when dealing with new formulations. in this investigation, strains of copper-tolerant wood-rot fungi native to south-central chile were evaluated against two preservatives: commercial chromated copper arsenate type c (cca-c) and a new formulation with boron and silicon (bs). thirtee ... | 2009 | 18654748 |
| antifungal activity of essential oil and its constituents from calocedrus macrolepis var. formosana florin leaf against plant pathogenic fungi. | resistance to conventional fungicides causes the poor disease control of agriculture. natural products from plants have great potential as novel fungicide sources for controlling pathogenic fungi. in this study antipathogenic activity of the leaf essential oil and its constituents from calocedrus macrolepis var. formosana florin were evaluated in vitro against six plant pathogenic fungi. chemical analysis of leaf oil by gc/ms allowed identification of alpha-pinene (44.2%), limonene (21.6%), beta ... | 2008 | 18206367 |
| ganoderma australe from southern india. | the genetic diversity of ganoderma australe (fr.) pat. from southern india was investigated by using its1/2 rdna. the phylogenetic analysis showed that six isolates clustered into two groups viz. biological species i and ii. the four strains of bs i (yer03, myc5, myc2 and ke) clustered with g. australe tai-01 and the two other strains of bs ii (kmk3 and k39) were grouped with g. australe tai-05 from taiwan. the two strains namely tai-01 and tai-05 were described as g. australe intersterile group ... | 2008 | 17462872 |
| bioremediation of a soil contaminated by lindane utilizing the fungus ganoderma australe via response surface methodology. | mixtures of a sandy soil and wheat straw were doped with the organochlorine insecticide lindane in glass tubes and were inoculated with the polypore fungus, ganoderma australe. an evaluation of bioremediation process effectiveness was searched and five parameters identified for the solid-state system. fungi growth is a function of temperature and requires moisture for a proper colonization. these microorganisms need inorganic nutrients such nitrogen and phosphorus to support cell growth and it i ... | 2007 | 17055642 |
| thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, fe3+ reduction and enzymatic activities in cultures of ganoderma australe growing on drimys winteri wood. | ganoderma australe is a basidiomycete responsible for a natural process of selective and extensive lignin degradation. fatty acids, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars), fe3+-reduction and enzymatic activities were monitored in cultures of g. australe growing on drimys winteri wood chips. linoleic acid was de novo synthesized, and steadily increased during 12 weeks of cultivation. part of the unsaturated fatty acids underwent peroxidation as tbars accumulated with biodegradation time. ... | 2006 | 16790026 |
| chemical composition and antifungal activity of essential oils from different tissues of japanese cedar (cryptomeria japonica). | in this study antifungal activities of essential oils from different tissues of japanese cedar (cryptomeria japonica d. don) against four wood decay fungi and six tree pathogenic fungi were investigated. in addition, the yields of essential oils obtained by water distillation were compared and their constituents determined by gc-ms analyses. the yield of essential oils from four tissues of japanese cedar is in the decreasing order of leaf (27.38 ml/kg) > bark (6.31 ml/kg) > heartwood (3.80 ml/kg ... | 2005 | 15686410 |
| a screening method for detecting iron reducing wood-rot fungi. | a plate assay using the fe(ii) selective dye, ferrozine, for detecting wood-rot fungi with fe(iii) reductive abilities, was developed. the assay is fast, simple and, in most cases, more sensitive than the corresponding liquid medium test. the brown rot fungi, gloeophyllum trabeum and laetiporeus sulphureus, displayed higher iron reductive capabilities than white rot fungi, trametes versicolor, ganoderma australe and ceriporiopsis subvermispora. | 2003 | 12889801 |
| southern blot screening for lignin peroxidase and aryl-alcohol oxidase genes in 30 fungal species. | screening to detect genes encoding lignin peroxidase (lip) and aryl-alcohol oxidase (aao) has been carried out with 30 fungal strain using dna probes from genes lpo of phanerochaete chrysosporium (encoding lip isoenzyme h8) and aao of pleurotus eryngii. evidence for the presence of genes closely related to lpo was found in bjerkandera adusta, fomes fomentarius, ganoderma applanatum, ganoderma australe, lentinula degener, peniophora gigantea, p. chrysosporium, phanerochaete flavido-alba and trame ... | 2000 | 11051421 |
