The use of FTIR to detect lignin decomposition by mushroom forming fungi under different concentrations and types of nitrogen
Wood decay fungi are often classified as either brown rot or white rot, depending on their mechanism of accessing nutrients in wood. This dichotomy assumes that white rot fungi break down lignin with various enzymes, while brown rot fungi leave it mostly unmodified and instead bypass it with diffusion of small molecules to reach the desired hemicellulose and cellulose. The effect of different sour
