Artificial brown-rot decay was induced to two wood species, Pinus densiflora and Pinus radiata. A modified direct inoculation method was used and the decay indicators of mass loss and two compressive mechanical properties, maximum compressive strength (MCS) and compressive stiffness, were estimated over the period of 8 weeks of fungal exposure. Measurable mass loss occurred 2 weeks after the fungal attack, with 15% to 22% of the loss occurring 8 weeks after fungal exposure with Fornitopsis palustris and Gloeophyllurn trabeurn. Mechanical properties proved to be far more sensitive than mass loss detection: approximately five to six times by quantity. Of the two mechanical properties, MCS was more sensitive to and consistent with progressive brown-rot decay. An ultrasonic test was performed to determine the feasibility and accuracy of this method for nondestructive detection of brown-rot decay. The ultrasonic test is highly sensitive at qualitative detection of the early stages of brown-rot decay.

To evaluate the resistance of wood to decay caused by fungi, sapwood and heartwood of red pine (Pinus densiflora) and sapwood and heartwood of larch (Larix kaempferi) were conducted. Wood samples were immersed for 96 h in pyroligneous liquor. Then, the brown-rot fungus, Fomitopsis palustris, was used to examine the decay resistance of red pine and larch. Weight and density of wood from the all conditions increased after immersion treatment. Weight loss after decay resistance test was also dropped with a immersion treatment. The lowest weight loss indicated at immersion-treated heartwood of larch. Immersion treatment using pyroligneous liquor effectively increased the resistance of wood to decay caused by fungi.

대표적인 침엽수인 소나무, 잣나무, 편백, 화백의 잎 정유를 사용하여 수목 정유의 항균활성에 관하여 조사하였다. 항진균활성은 배지점적법을 이용하여 목재부후균인 Gliocladium virens, Tyromyces palustris, Trametes versicolor를, 비부후성 열화균인 Rhizopus stolonifer를, 수목병원균인 Phomopsis albobestita, Endothia nitschkeii, Melanconis juglandis에 대하여, 그리고 항세균활성은 paper disc법과 탁도측정법을 이용하여 그람양성균인 Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis 및 그람음성균인 Escherichia coli에 대하여 검정하였다. 그 결과, 항진균활성은 편백이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 그 다음이 소나무와 잣나무로 목재부후균에 대해서는 소나무가 잣나무보다 높은 활성을, 수복병원균에 대해서는 잣나무가 소나무보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 그리고 화백 잎 정유가 가장 활성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 항세균활성은 항진균활성과 달리 소나무 잎 정유가 편백보다 높은 활성을 보였으며 그 다음이 잣나무 그리고 화백의 순이었다. 이러한 정유에 따른 항균 스펙트럼의 차이는 각 정유의 성분 변이와 이러한 성분들의 미생물에 대한 작용특이성에 기인하는 것으로 사료되었다.

목초액의 농약 또는 식품보존제로서의 이용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 소나무 및 참나무류 기계식 목초액을 대상으로 항진균 및 항세균 활성을 검정하였다. 그 결과 항진균활성의 경우 미정제 목초액은 0.5% 이상의 농도 에서, 정제 목초액은 1.0% 이상의 농도에서 공시 식물병원균 및 목재부후균의 생장을 완전히 억제하여 미정제 목초액이 정제 목초액보다 항균활성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 참나무류 목초액이 소나무 목초액보다 항 균활성이 높아 탄화 원료인 수종에 따라 항균활성의 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 균종별로는 표고 해균인 주홍 꼬리버섯에 대한 항균효과가 다른 공시 균주에 비해 높은 것으로 나타나 균의 종류에 따라 목초액에 대한 감수성이 차이가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편, 식품부패균 및 식중독균에 대한 항세균활성을 검정한 결과 소나무 및 참나무류 미정제 목초액의 경우 10% 농도에서 모든 공시 균주에 대해 생육저지환을 형성한 반면 정제 목초액 의 경우에는 저지환을 형성하지 않아 항세균활성도 미정제액이 정제액보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 균종에 따른 감수성에도 차이가 있어 그람 양성균에 대한 항균활성이 그람 음성균에 비해 상대적으로 높았으나 탄화 원료에 의한 차이는 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 이상의 결과 목초액은 식물병원균, 목재부후균, 식품부패균 및 식중독 균에 대한 항균활성이 우수하여 유기합성 농약을 대체하거나 식품의 부패를 막기 위한 식품보존제로서 이용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

This research aimed to evaluate the durability of Samama (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) wood treated with boron preservatives, citric acid (CA), and heating against termites. Wood samples were impregnated firstly with 5% boron solutions, such as boric acid, borax and boric acid + borax combination at 1:1 (w/w). The second impregnation used 5% CA. The impregnations were conducted in a pressure tank at 7 kg/cm² for 4 hours. After impregnation, the samples were heat treated at 80℃ or 160℃. All the treated and control samples were exposed to decay fungi, drywood termites and subterranean termites based on SNI 7207:2014 standard. The results showed that boron preservatives reduced fungal attacks on Samama wood. The combination treatment of boric acid, CA and heat treatment at 160℃ was also effective to increase the resistance of Samama wood against white- and brown rot fungi, and drywood termites. Heat treatment consistently improved the resistance of Samama wood from decay fungi.

Recently the production of ethanol from lignocecllulosics has received much attention due to immense potential for conversion of renewable biometerials into biofuels and chemicals. Fomitopsis palustris causes a typycal brown-rot and is unusual in that it rapidly depolymerize the cellulose in wood without removing the surrounding lignin that normally prevents microbial attack. This study demonstrated that the brown rot basidiomycete F. palustris was able to degrade crystalline cellulose. This fungus could also produce the three major cellulases (BGL, EXG and EG) when the cells were grown on 2.0% Avicel. The fungus was able to degrade both the crystalline and amorphous forms of cellulose from woody biomasses. Moreover, we found that this fungus has the processive EG like CBH which are able to degrade the crystalline region of cellulose. To establish the cellulase system in relation with degradation of woody biomass, we performed that purification, characterization and molecular cloning of a BGL, EGs and GLA from F. palustris grown on Avicel.

Some white-rot fungi, screened at the Laboratory of Forest Products Microbiological Chemistry, Chungbuk National University were cultured and added the inducer of laccase enzyme, 2,5-xylidine. The fungi named by CB-13, CB-20, CB-99, CB-100 and CB-123 strains showed positive results in the decolorization of aromatic compounds, carminic acid and Rhemazol brilliant blue R. Concerned to the inducing effect of 2,5-xylidine on laccase activity, CB-20, CB-100 and CB-123 strains showed very high activity by addition of 2,5-xylidine, whilst CB-13, CB-99 and CB-124 strains produced relatively high laccase enzymes, regardless of inducer addition. There were no any laccase activities on CB-25, CB-64 and CB-139, even in addition of inducer. It is confirmed that some screened fungi have decolorizing ability on aromatic compounds, carminic acid and Rhemazol brilliant blue R. Also, the addition of inducer, 2,5-xylidine, has increased the activity of laccase enzyme which is secreted from some white-rot fungi.

Termiticidal and fungicidal activities of wood vinegar from Cinnamomum parthenoxylon (CP) stem wood have been evaluated against Coptotermes curvignathus and wood rotting fungi (Schizophyllum commune and Fomitopsis palustris). The utilized CP wood vinegar was produced in the operating temperature range 250-300℃ pyrolysis. A no-choice test was applied for evaluating termiticidal activity with 33 active termites and antifungal activity using the agar media assay. The result showed that an increase in the concentrations of CP wood vinegar significantly raised the mortality of termite. CP wood vinegar showed high termiticidal activity, organic acids (acetic acid 42.91%, 3-butenoic acid 6.89%, butanoic acid, 2-propenyl ester 2.26%), and ketones (1-hydroxy-2-propanone 5.14%, 3-methylcyclopentane-1,2-dione 2.34%) might be largely contributed to termiticidal activity in addition to other minor components. Furthermore, CP wood vinegar exhibited significant inhibition of fungal growth. These data showed that CP wood vinegar was more toxic to white-rot fungi (S. commune) than brown-rot (F. palustris). The results suggested that phenolic compounds from lignin degradation were responsible for good antifungal activity.

황장목(黃腸木)은 적황색을 띠는 심재부의 비율이 높고 연륜폭이 매우 조밀하며 최소 수령이 100년 이상 되는 귀중한 소나무 자원이다. 조선시대에는 황장목을 궁궐, 사찰 등 중요 건축물에 사용하였다. 하지만 황장목의 재질특성에 관한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 황장목의 천연내구성을 검토하기 위하여 부후균 및 흰개미 저항성을 조사하였다. 공시균은 갈색부후균(Fomitopsis palustris)과 백색부후균(Trametes versicolor) 균주를 사용하였고, 공시 흰개미는 일본흰개미(Reticulitermes speratus)를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 갈색 및 백색부후균에 의한 중량감소율은 심재부에서 3.7~5.6%, 변재부에서는 16.1~26.3%로 나타났다. 또한, 흰개미 사충률은 심재부에서 약 47%로 매우 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 황장목의 심재부는 부후균 및 흰개미에 대한 저항력이 뛰어난 것을 알 수 있었다.
