Abstract
Brown-rotted wood has been used as a source of lignin to investigate f urther the antialgal effects of lignocellulosic materials such as deco mposing barley straw. The antialgal activity of brown-rotted and white -rotted wood has been determined in a laboratory bioassay. Using pyrol ysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the lignin of the rotted wo od samples has been compared and the significance of the structure of the lignin in antialgal activity is discussed.
