Such unspecific oxidative attack is also discussed as a possible route in the biodegradation fate of PVA. Oxidation of PVA should be possible, as very aggressive oxidative species can be generated by the extracellular enzyme mixtures of wood-rotting fungi. Unspecific oxidative incidents are to be expected when strongly oxidising low molecular mediators react with PVA, a mechanism that is described as the indirect action of laccase enzymes [77]. Reports about the beneficial...

In nature degradation of wood is accomplished almost exclusively by wood-rotting fungi such as Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Ceriporiopsis subver-mispora. Lignin, which accounts for up to a third of the weight of wood, is... 

Other catechol-containing natural compounds have been implicated as Fenton-enhancing compounds in white rot fungi, brown rot fungi, and mold-mediated degradation of lignin and wood [64,65]. In addition to their potential effect on in situ remediation, these compounds may be of potential benefit for the pulp-and-paper industry. 

The distribution of lanostane triterpenoids in wood-rotting fungi, mainly of the Polyporaceae and related families, has been reviewed.17 A series of related compounds, senexdiolic acid (12), senexonol (13), senexdione (14), and oxidosenexone...

Captafol is a widely used broad-spectrum contact fungicide belonging to the class of sulfanilamides. It is effective for the control of a wide variety of fungal diseases in plants and is widely used outside the United States to control foliage and fruit diseases on apples, citrus, tomato, cranberry, sweet corn, barley, wheat, and several other plants. Captafol is also extensively used as a seed protectant in cotton, peanuts, and rice. It is also used to reduce losses from wood rot fungi in logs and wood products.
