Comparative study on the behavior of wood preservatives
and impregnation processes. Results of inspection of field

Cellulase production by fungi isolated from wood and soils
in Southern Chile (Produccion de celulasas por hongos ais-
lados de madera y suelos del Sur de Chile). Boletin Mico-
logico. 2(1):17-25.
Describes studies of cellulase production by 15 species of
fungi from 5 genera. The fungi were isolated and grown
on a solid medium which was pre-treated with phosphoric
acid and mycelial growth inhibitors. Results showed that
Trichoderma aureoviride, T. harzianum, Penicillium sp.,
and P. citreoviride formed the largest transparent halos of
hydrolysis. Endo- and exoglucanase, beta- glucosidase, and
filter paper activities were maximum in T. aureoviride, T.
harzianum I, III, and V, and P. citreoviride.

Results of study show that Lentinus lepideus, Polyporus
mollis, and Poria monticola were the principal fungi iso-
lated from posts of various Pinus sp. used by the Electric-
ity Commission in Mexico. The type of rot caused by each
fungus is described. Also isolated were Aspergillus, Pae-
cilomyces, Fusarium, Cladosporium, Mucor, Penicillium,
and Torula spp.

establecer las posibilidades de impregnacion). Santiago,
Chile: Instituto Forestal. Informe Tecnico. 82:21.
Reports on the permeability of creosote, pentachlorophenol,
and a CCA-type hydrosoluble salt on 19 major Chilean
commercial wood species.

Nineteen major Chilean commercial wood species were investigated
to determine their permeability to creosote, pentachlorophenol,
and a CCA-type hydrosoluble salt. From
this, a classification of the woods based on penetration of
these preservatives is presented.
