Comparative Transcriptomics During Brown Rot Decay in Three Fungi Reveals Strain-Specific Degradative Strategies and Responses to Wood Acetylation.

ABSTRACT: Brown rot fungi degrade wood in a two-step process in which enzymatic hydrolysis is preceded by an oxidative degradation phase. While a detailed understanding of the molecular processes during brown rot decay is mandatory for being able to better protect wooden products from this type of degradation, the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. This is particularly true for wood that has been treated to increase its resistance against rot. In the present study, the two degradation phases were separated to study the impact of wood acetylation on the behavior of three brown rot fungi commonly used in wood durability testing. Transcriptomic data from two strains of Rhodonia placenta (FPRL280 and MAD-698) and Gloeophyllum trabeum were recorded to elucidate difference
