摘要
Sapstain fungi affect the appearance of wood due to colonisation by pigmented hyphae but without producing significant strength losses. This is due to the production of melanin in the fungal cell walls of the staining fungi. Any biological control strategy targeted against this type of deterioration would therefore be considered successful if it inhibited either fungal growth or pigment production. Previous work has established that specific bacterial and yeast isolates selected on the basis of agar screening studies could significantly reduce levels of staining in wood block tests. This paper presents the results of a study to examine the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by four bacterial and three yeast isolates on the growth and pigment production by a range of five sapstain fungi on three media types. VOCs from three of the four bacterial strains tested completely inhibited growth of the five target sapstain fungi but only when the antagonists were grown on tryptone soya media. When antagonists were grown on either malt agar or a low nutrient medium levels of inhibition were either significantly reduced or non-existent. Yeast antagonists generally produced lower levels of growth inhibition than the bacteria but a Williopsis mrakii isolate gave 100% inhibition of three of the five sapstain fungi. Production of inhibitory VOCs was highly dependent on the specific antagonist as well as its growth substrate and all five sapstain fungi showed varying sensitivities to the VOCs produced. Not all fungi were inhibited, growth of O. piliferum and A. pullulans being stimulated by the VOCs from antagonists but only when grown under low nutrient conditions. In some instances, where growth was only slightly reduced, the level of pigmentation of the sapstain colony was significantly reduced compared with corresponding controls. The implications of this work for the biological control of sapstain fungi are discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
