Sammanfattning

This chapter outlines the main morphological changes produced in wood cell walls following colonization and decay by white-, brown-, and soft rot fungi capable of the biomineralization of wood’s main structural components, namely, the cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose. Lesser information is given on mold and blue-stain fungi. The main modes of attack by fungi from the different decay groups are described with examples from light and electron microscopy given. The main types of enzymatic and nonenzymatic systems used by fungi from the different groups are also briefly reviewed with correlation made with the types of decay produced in wood cell walls.
