EFFECTS OF HUMIC AND OXALIC ACID IN WOOD BIODEGRADATION BY Gloeophyllum trabeum

To degrade wood, brown rot fungi (BRF) have developed a mechanism based on low molar mass iron reducing compounds that promote Fenton reaction. These compounds, also solubilise Fe(III), in conjunction with oxalic acid, making it available for reaction. It have been postulated that the humic acids pa...
