Effect of sapstaining fungi on structural wood integrity of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don)
(The University of Waikato, 2001)Selected sapstaining fungi belonging to the Ascomycetes and Fungi Imperfecti isolated in New Zealand were evaluated for potential degradation of unseasoned radiata pine sapwood using four independent methods: i) toughness ... -
Black and White: investigations on the ecology, biology and biological control of sapstain fungi in New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2003)This study examined ecology, colonisation, biological control and detection of sapstain fungi in New Zealand. A nationwide survey of New Zealand sapstain fungi was undertaken between 1996 and1998. In total, 1035 sites ... -
Microbial diversity in relation to human activity in historic areas of Ross Dependency, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2003)The goal of this study was to undertake a relatively broad microbiological investigation at historic areas of Cape Evans and Ross Island. The two phylogenetically diverse targets were Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent ... -
Microbial abundance and diversity surrounding mummified seals in Miers Valley, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2004)The presence of a number of mummified seal carcasses have been reported in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica. The location of seal carcasses were observed up to 240km in-land, and approximately 1500m above sea level. The ... -
Biotreatability studies of oil-contaminated soils from Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Human activity in Antarctica has resulted in accidental fuel spills on soils. These are broadly damaging to the Antarctic ecosystem, and expensive to clean up completely by physical removal, therefore, alternative remediation ...
