Abstract

Micromorphological and chemical characteristics of living Castanea spp. and Tamarix spp. attacked by a brown-rot fungus were examined. Micromorphological features of brown-rotted hardwood species were similar to those observed in softwoods such as losses in birefringence under polarized microscopy, preferential degradation of $S_2$ layer and cracks in the $S_3$ layer. Thinning of the secondary cell wall in fibers was also observed, although it did not seem to be the main symptom. FT-IR analysis showed that bands assigned to cellulose and hemicelluloses decreased or disappeared, whereas the bands assigned to lignin increased. X-ray diffraction analysis exhibited the decrease of relative crystallinity, indicating that degradation of hardwood by a brown-rot fungus was in the advanced stages.

갈생부후균의 침해를 받은 생입목(生立木) 상태의 밤나무 및 사시나무속 갈색부후재의 미시형태 및 화학적 특징을 분석하였다. 활엽수 갈색부후재는 침엽수 갈색부후재에서 나타나는 전형적인 특징 즉 복굴절의 감소, 2차벽 중증($S_2$)의 선택적 분해 및 세포벽의 갈라짐 현상을 보여주었다. 부분적으로 목섬유의 박벽화 현상도 관찰되었으나 주 분해형태는 아니었다. FT-IR 분석결과 셀룰로오스의 헤미셀룰로오스를 나타내는 band가 현저히 감소한 반면 리그닌을 가리키는 band는 증가되어 나타났다. X선 회절분석 결과 공시된 활엽수재의 상대 결정화도는 건전재에 비해 감소되어 나타난 것으로 보아, 갈색부후가 상당히 진전되었음을 보여주었다.
