Biodegradation and Micro- Scale Treatability Pattern of Loblolly Pine Heartwood Bioincised by Bacillus Subtilis and Physisporinus Vitreus

One strategy for improving the treatability of refractory wood species is biological incising, and its efficiency depends on how the microorganisms modify the porous structure of the wood. Evaluation of the bioincised wood treatability on a micro-scale can thus help to better understand the treatab...
