TL;DR: The results demonstrate that P. chrysosporium gene expression patterns are substantially influenced by lignin composition, and several oxidoreductases were among the upregulated genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wood degradation by Phellinus noxius: ultrastructure and cytochemistry
Michel Nicole,Hélène Chamberland,D. Rioux,X. Xixuan,Robert A. Blanchette,Jean-Paul Geiger,G. B. Ouellette +6 more
TL;DR: An ultrastructural and cytochemical investigation of the development of Phellinus noxius, a white-rot fungus, in wood chips of Betula papyrifera was done to gain insight into the cellular mechanisms of wood cell wall degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations of Biodeterioration by Fungi in Historic Wooden Churches of Chiloé, Chile
Rodrigo Ortiz,Mario Párraga,José Navarrete,Ivo Carrasco,Eduardo de la Vega,M. Ortiz,Paula Herrera,Joel A. Jurgens,Benjamin W. Held,Robert A. Blanchette +9 more
TL;DR: This study characterized the types of degradation taking place and identified the wood decay fungi obtained from eight historic churches in Chiloé, seven of them designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental pollutants from the Scott and Shackleton expeditions during the ‘Heroic Age’ of Antarctic exploration
Robert A. Blanchette,Benjamin W. Held,Joel A. Jurgens,Jackie Aislabie,Shona M. Duncan,Roberta L. Farrell +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an investigation found high concentrations of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in soils under and around the historic fuel depots, including anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, chrysene, fluorene, and pyrene, which are recognized carcinogens.
