Abstract
The investigations were carried out on beech and ash. The decayed wood was more soluble in water than the original wood. The pentosans not in the cellulose and the lignin suffered the greatest loss at first, and then the cellulose was attacked. Acid-alcohol solutions produced somewhat similar results to the fungus.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
