Abstract

Brown-rotted wood has been used as a source of lignin to investigate further the antialgal effects of lignocellulosic materials such as decomposing barley straw. The antialgal activity of brown-rotted and white-rotted wood has been determined in a laboratory bioassay. Using pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the lignin of the rotted wood samples has been compared and the significance of the structure of the lignin in antialgal activity is discussed.
