Physiology of Serpula lacrymans
Švec, Karel ; Gabriel, Jiří (advisor) ; Koukol, Ondřej (referee)
Serpula lacrymans, the causative agent of dry rot indoor wood decay, is the most common Basidiomycete found in buildings. From the viewpoint of economic loss and destructiveness it is the one of the most important fungus worldwide. S. lacrymans is able to fastly colonize substrate by rapid mycelial spread and effectively decompose it. Despite the fact, that the physiology of this fungus has been studied for more then 100 years, efficient approach for efective defense does not exist. However, the prevention and effort to keep the house enviroment dry still seems to be the best option. This thesis is a survey of a recent knowledge of S. lacrymans physiology and up-to-date technologies used in the remediation of affected buildings. key words: Serpula lacrymans, fungal physiology, rhizomorphs, remediation, wood construction, hot air, microwaves, fungicides
