Fluorescence emission images of wood stained with acridine orange
Colonization of wood blocks, Picea glauca, by brown and white rot fungi, Postia placenta, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and Serpula lacrymans, rapidly resulted in detectable wood oxidation, as shown by a reduced phloroglucinol response, a loss of autofluorescence, and acridine orange (AO) staining. The data included in …
