Changes in chemical composition of cover crops residue during decomposition

Ciênc. rural (Online); 52 (4), 2022
Crop residues decomposition are controlled by chemical tissue components. This study evaluated changes on plant tissue components, separated by the Van Soest partitioning method, during cover crop decomposition. The Van Soest soluble fraction was the first to be released from the crop residues, followed ...

Antimicrobial potential of pyroligneous extracts - a systematic review and technological prospecting

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract Pyroligneous extract is applied in diverse areas as an antioxidant, an antimicrobial, and an anti-inflammatory agent. The discovery of new cost-effective antimicrobial agents of natural origin remains a challenge for the scientific community. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and a...

Natural decomposition of hornbeam wood decayed by the white rot fungus Trametes versicolor

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT The impacts of white-rot fungi on altering wood chemistry have been studied mostly in vitro. However, in vivo approaches may enable better assessment of the nature of interactions between saprotrophic fungi and host tree in nature. Hence, decayed and sound wood samples were collected from a natu...
