Abstract
Several white-rot fungi cause two micromorphologically distinct types of decay. White-rot fungi typically cause a simultaneous removal of all cell wall components in close proximity to fungal hyphae. This type of degradation results in erosion troughs and holes in the cell walls. In addition, a selective removal of lignin and hemicellulose can occur intermittently throughout the decayed wood. Selectively delignified wood can be characterized by the complete removal of middle lamellae, resulting in a defibration of cells and exposure of cellulosic macrofibrils within cell walls.
