SHORT REPORT

Metal Accumulation without Enhanced Oxalate Secretion in Wood Degraded by Brown Rot Fungi

Received 3 February 2006/ Accepted 30 May 2006

Brown rot fungi were incubated in agar and agar-wood microcosms containing metallic or hydroxide forms of Al, Cu, and Fe. Metal dissolution was associated with elevated oxalate concentrations in agar, but metals translocated into wood did not affect oxalate accumulation, crystal production, or decay rate, demonstrating a substrate-dependent oxalate dynamic.
