Abstract :
This review describes what is presently known about the role of positively charged ions in the colonization and degradation of wood by brown rot fungi. General patterns of cation accumulation and the roles of iron, manganese, calcium and other cations in the fungal environment are discussed. The physiology of brown rot fungi and mechanisms of wood cell wall breakdown are emphasized.
