Abstract

The ability of various white-rot fungi to degrade and detoxify pitch in Scots pine sapwood was investigated in stationary batch assays. Fungal pretreatment provided up to 60% total pitch reduction and significant decreases in pitch toxicity. The best strains degraded over 96% of the problematic triglyceride fraction and between 71% to 87% of other identified resin compounds in only 2 weeks. These results indicate the potentials of white-rot fungi for wood depitching and biodetoxification.
