Abstract:

Wood of low durability is susceptible of deterioration by xylophages and its protection is a technological goal not reached that generates economic and material losses. Alternatives to avoid the use of toxic preservative conventional and contaminating can be established by knowledge of the bacterial microecosystem in the wood. The protection of this material is possible to obtain it with bacteria and its exudates. The purpose of this research is to highlight that the biodeterioration of low durability wood is avoidable by means of microbiological strategies relevant for the control of xylophages’ fungi. The observation is that bacteria of the genera Arthrobacter, Bacillus and Pseudomonas and their exudates are potentially protective agents that exhibit different mechanisms of action such as antagonism, parasitism and the production of exudates containing molecules with effect: antimicrobial, chelator (siderophores) that inhibit enzymes or functions and volatile compounds (dimethylhexadecylamine). Knowledge of this microbial ecosystem will facilitate the construction of an alternative to the use of conventional wood preservatives and constitutes an area of opportunity. It is evident the absence of knowledge of antagonistic bacteria of the xylophages, the management of the production and composition of their exudates and their application, thus manifesting an unexplored field in the biotechnology of the preservation of wood.

Key words: xylophages’ fungi; lignin; wood; preservation; durability

Resumen:

La madera de baja durabilidad es susceptible de deterioro por xilófagos y su protección es una meta tecnológica no alcanzada que genera pérdidas económicas y materiales. Alternativas para evitar el uso de preservadores convencionales tóxicos y contaminantes se pueden establecer mediante el conocimiento del microecosistema bacteriano en la madera. La protección de este material es posible obtenerla con bacterias y sus exudados. El propósito de esta investigación es destacar que el biodeterioro de la madera de baja durabilidad es evitable mediante estrategias microbiológicas relevantes para el control de los hongos xilófagos. La observación es que bacterias de los géneros Arthrobacter, Bacillus y Pseudomonas y sus exudados potencialmente son agentes de protección que exhiben mecanismos de acción diferentes como, el antagonismo, el parasitismo y la producción de exudados que contienen moléculas con efecto: antimicrobiano (antibióticos), quelante (sideróforos) que inhiben enzimas o funciones y compuestos volátiles (dimetilhexadecilamina). El conocimiento de este ecosistema microbiano facilitará la construcción de una alternativa al uso de los preservadores convencionales de madera y constituye un área de oportunidad. Se evidencia la ausencia del conocimiento de bacterias antagónicas de los xilófagos, el manejo de la producción y composición de sus exudados y su aplicación, con lo que se manifiesta un campo inexplorado en la biotecnología de la preservación de la madera.

Introduction

Due to its organic composition, wood is vulnerable to biological degradation. In general, it is composed of cellulose in 40-61%, hemicellulose 15-30%, and lignin 17-35%, making it an excellent source of carbon to sustain the life cycles of some organisms. Wood in use is exposed to organisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, and insects, which feed off their macromolecules, causing their degradation, and therefore, their physical and mechanical attributes, as well as their performance (Ibáñez, 2012). In the bacterial diversity there is a great number of genuses with species capable of deteriorating wood by degrading lignin and modifying their structure, such as Flavobacterium, Xanthomonas, Aeromonas, and Nocardia (Singh et al., 2016). Also, aerobic species of the genuses of Pseudomonas of Achromobacter also degrade structural polymers, which weaken the primary and secondary cell wall, with the alteration of the crystalline structure of these polymers and exposes them to promote the development of other deteriorator organisms (Zanni, 2004). Xylophagous algae are represented mainly by species of the genuses Clorophyta, Chrysophyta, and Cianophyta, which, when deteriorating wood, cause it to change color, as well as an increase in the absorption of solar radiation and water. However, the deterioration caused by bacteria and algae is less than the damage produced by fungi and hylophagous insects, the latter of which are the main causal agents of biodeterioration (Flower and Gonzalez-Meler, 2015).

In the construction and wood-based products industries, xylophagous fungi are accountable for great economic losses (Arbelo and Garbuyo, 2012). “Chromogenic” organisms are found in this group which, when penetrating the woody tissue via the hyphae, reach the cell cavities, an action that has the result of a change in color (Moglia et al., 2015). Meanwhile, the fungal species that cause “rotting” are grouped into different categories, such as the so-called white-rot, brown-rot and soft-rot. Fungi feed off the components of cell walls obtained by enzymes that degrade the structural prolymers, thus alter the physical and mechanical properties of the wood. The depolymerization of cell wall macromolecules is carried out with several hydrolytic enzymes that synthesize it rapidly, e.g. the degradation of crystalline is obtained with endo-1,4-ß-glucanases, exo-1,4-ß-glucanases, 1, 4-ß-glucosidases and other accessory enzymes (Schmidt, 2007).

Meanwhile, for a complex polymer without three-dimensional ordering such as lignin, composed of the concatenation of phenylpropanoic acids and alcohols, for its degradation and mineralization, the fungus uses an enzyme complex with activities of oxidases and peroxidases. The fungal metabolic pathway to the degradation of this polymer begins with the action of lignin peroxidase, which break carbon-carbon bonds or ether bonds within the complex molecule to produce monomers. Another interesting enzymatic complex is the one produced by some xylophagous basidiomycota that cause white rot. This complex includes lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, a versatile molecule that uses hydrogen peroxide as an electron accepter, and laccase, which uses molecular oxygen. The latter enzyme is an oxidase made up of a co-factor with four copper atoms, the accepter of electrons is molecular oxygen. Also, laccase degrades non-phenolic substrates, more difficult to oxideze in the presence of co-oxidants; 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1-HBT), 2,2′-azino-bis-( 3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) or violic acid (Subramanian et al., 2014).

Some of the most important and harmful xylophagous organisms include basidiomycetes, which cause brown or cubid rot (e.g. Serpula lacrymans, Coniophora puteana, Antrodia vaillantii, Lentinus lepideus), capable of rapidly degrading cellulose, hemicellulose, and of structurally modifying lignin. In white rot, the basidiomycetes and some ascomycetes feed mostly of lignin, although they can decompose cellulose. Due to lignin degradation and the large amount of intact cellulose not used by these fungi, wood acquires a pale whit color. Some of the representative fungal species include Trametes versicolor, T. hirsuta and Schizophyllum commune. Meanwhile, ascomycetes that cause soft rot (Chaetomium globosum, Monodictys putredinis, Hypocrea muroiana, Cryphonectria parasitica and Fusarium oxysporum), the hyphae of which develop in the lumen and the inside of the secondary cell wall, mainly degrade cellulose, altering lignin structurally, causing a characteristic softening of the lignocellulosic material (Figure 1) (Patel et al., 2013).

Figure 1 Damage caused by xylophagous fungi in a standing Ganoderma applanatum tree (a), in the construction Antrodia vaillantii (b), sawn wood Ceratocystis sp. (c) and felled wood Pleurotus ostreatus (d). 

On the other hand, insects are a relevant and diverse group in the animal kingdom, with over one million species described and an amount of up to 30 million species yet to be discovered (Stork et al., 2015). Likewise, they present a broad versatility to feed and survive. In terms of feeding habits, insects use, e.g. fresh plant tissue, organic animal matter in decomposition or dead plant matter. Such is the case of wood, and xylophagous insects carry this with the perforation and formation of galleries in search for cellulose and starch. This produces physical and mechanical damage and chromatic alterations in stored wood, process, service, and standing trees (Table 1) (Zanni, 2008). The insects that stand out in this group are coleoptera (beetles or woodworms) and lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), as well as isoptera (termites) and hymenoptera (wasps and ants). Isoptera and coleoptera are pointed out as producers of considerable damage to wooden structures and houses (NMX-C-222-1983; Blackwell and d´Errico 2000). Also, in large portions of North and Central America, bark insects of the genus Dendroctonus (D. frontalis, D. mexicanus) are the main pest in pine forests; they cause the loss of thousands of trees (FAO, 2007).

The protection of low-durability wood with chemical preservatives, however practical and cheap, is eco-toxic and requires immediate replacement with eco-friendly preservatives. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to establish the bases of protection for wood using microbiological strategies.

Classification of wood according to its resistance to xylophagous organisms

Wood can be categorized according to its use and durability (NMX-C-239-1985) and is subject to different levels of risk and to deterioration by xylophagous organisms. The different resistance present in this material is due to different structural and chemical factors contained in the woody tissue, typical variables of the species, age and development conditions at the time of cutting down. According to A.S.T.M D-2017-81, the classification of wood by its natural durability is shown in Table 2A. This feature is pondered in years, or in other words, how long it is capable of maintaining its mechanical properties after making contact with environmental factors. Later, the Board of the Cartagena Agreement (1988) categorized this material into five classes, according to the deterioration produced by xylophagous organisms (Table 2B). However, Bobadilla et al., (2005) catalogue its resistance according to the “Findlay Criterion”, by weight loss after the attack by fungi (Table 2C) (Findlay, 1951). The latter criterion highlights the importance of wood deterioration cause by xylophagous fungi, as well as the relevance of their control in which it is possible to use microbiological methods with this goal.

Main chemical preservatives used on wood

The chemical wood preservation industry started in the 19th Century and has had great technological, social, historical and economic importance, since humans have tried to protect wood from physical and biological deterioration with different preserving agents. The mixtures of mineral salts with organic molecules have been extremely efficient; their classification depends on their nature and function (see Table 3). These salts control fungi and insects in wood in service and that is in touch with the ground. Its use was officialized by the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) by norm P5-83, and some time later, it became official in Mexico (AWPA P5-83). Compounds such as Copper-chromium-arsenical (CCA) salts are extremely effective preservatives. Lignocellulosic materials treated with CCA exposed to extreme environment conditions can have a lifespan of decades. A verification carried out by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed that wooden stakes preserved with CCA restited the attack of diverse xylophagous organisms for over 60 years; the USDA foresees a lifespan of these materials five to ten times longer than without any preservations.

The indiscriminate release of these pesticides in uses of wood has contributed to the alarming deterioration of the ecosystem in order to increase the average lifespan of wood products at a minimum cost. This social and cultural practice is now an emerging and multi-factor environmental problem with a complex solution. However, in the 20th Century, some control measurements were set in motion for the release of pesticides in developed countries which were then copied and adapted in developing countries. One of them was the Food Quality Protection Act emitted by the U.S. government in 1966, and which included a proposal to drastically restrict the use of conventional pesticides. At the same time, the definition of pesticide proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) was modified, and included biopesticides, such as dissuasive agents with a confounding effect, inhibitor of oviposition, anti-feeding and repellent, as well as biological control agents (Konradsen et al., 2003). With these measures adopted and adjusted for Mexican Legislation, a new academic, biotechnological and commercial opportunity opens up for the design of preservatives of microbiological origin for their use on low-durability wood. The control of the biodeterioration of lignocellulosic materials with preservatives based on the lifestyle and microbial strategies of ecological invasion is a non-toxic alternative.

Natural compounds with wood preserving potential

Nowadays, protection methods with natural components are the technological alternative to replace the conventional and harmful preservatives for low-durability wood. The use of this eco-friendly technology is slow and scarcely popular, due to the practicity and effectiveness at a low cost of conventional preservatives.

Among the alternative preservation methods, there are technological flaws that must be overcome, and that are the challenge to be faced, solved rapidly due to the alarming environmental deterioration and the change in attitude of the government. Some of these methods include the differences obtained under controlled conditions (laboratory) and the yield in the field, hardships in efficiency related to exposure, environmental conditions, and legislation conflicts worldwide (Singh and Singh, 2012). However, different natural compounds have justified their efficiency as wood preservatives. Historically, plant extracts were the molecular basis for the chemical synthesis of pyrethroids nicotinoids. Another successful example of insecticides are derived from the Azadirachta indica (neem) or Enterolobium cyclocarpum (guanacaste) trees, such as their essential oils or compounds contained in the heartwood, such as azadiracthin (Martinez et al., 2012; Raya-González et al., 2013). Likewise, microbial agents of biological control of known use and efficiency, and that compose a paradigm in the control of pests, such as Bacillus thuringensis, encourages to know the style and the life cycle of bacteria and other microorganism so as to use them in the preservation of wood. Likewise, new or novel synthetic molecules and natural products with biological activity such as pest controllers are surfacing, as a partial solution for the control of deleterious organisms that damage wood (Damian et al., 2010; González-Laredo et al., 2015; Ramírez-López et al., 2016).

The plant synthesizes secondary metabolites in the bark, fruit, leaf, wood, seed, or root. Its presence will become evident according to its surroundings, its circadian rhythm and life cycles, where its plant function is varied, including plant defense, and in this chemical arsenal of the plant, several bioactive compounds, inhibitors of the growth of pathogens, have been described. In this regard, extracts in Cinnamomun zeylanicum Ness. leaves contain components that are efficient to fight some xylophagous fungi and termites (Cheng et al., 2006; Tascioglu et al., 2013). Singh and Singh (2012) recently reported that leaf substances in Elaeocarpus dentatus display antifungal activities (brown rot), like Citrus x limon, Rosmarinus officinalis, Thymus vulgaris, Cinnamomum zeylanicum Ness. Syzygium aromaticum essential oils, are efficient to control growth in xylophagous fungi that produce mold; the most typical are species of the genuses Penicillium, Trichoderma, Fusarium and Aspergillus (Yang and Clausen, 2007; Matan and Matan, 2008) (Table 4). Other studies reported by Kartal et al., (2009) show a comparison of formulations based on cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, cassia oils, and wood tar, which inhibited growth in Tyromyces palustris and Trametes versicolor, as well as providing resistance against the underground termite Coptotermes formosanus. Authors such as Stirling et al., (2007) pointed out that Cedrela odorata L. compounds present a biocidal action, due to tujaplicin, β-tujaplicinol, and plictic acid, toxic in Coniophora puteana, Postia placenta and Trametes versicolor, with metal chelating characteristics,. Plictic acid and ácido plicático and β-tujaplicinol simultaneously showed and interesting antioxdiant activity. Tascioglu et al. (2012) reported that both bark (Acacia mollissima) and heartwood (Schinopsis lorentzii) samples displayed antifungal activity due to the large content of condensed tannins. Likewise, flavonoids presented an activity of growth inhibition of the fungi Coniophora puteana, Irpex lacteus, Pleurotus ostreatus and T. versicolor (Carrillo-Parra et al., 2011; Nascimento et al., 2013). The plants present a varied profile of secondary metabolites, that suppress the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms. However, our interest is placed in the search for new plant components for the control of pathogens and their importance in the control of deteriorant microorganisms is discriminated. Therefore, the relevance of plant components in the protection of low-durability wood is a priority and calls for immediate attention.

Bacterial activity antagonistic to xylophagous fungi

Apart from components identified as having wood preservation capabilities from plants, such as essential oils, waxes, saps and extractives, there is a proposal to use microorganisms or their exudates as agents with antagonistic activity in the protection of wood against biological deterioration.

Out of the group of fungi that produce exudates, the species of the genus Trichoderma stand out, which suppress the growth of plant pathogens by microparasitism processes and/or the production of antifungal toxins (Widmer, 2014). Also, a wide group of bacteria are able to antagonize the development of some fungi using various action mechanisms. This group includes plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs), which, by producing siderophores (Saha et al., 2016), antibiotics (Tariq et al., 2017) or by competition for colonization spaces in roots and the production of organic compounds (COVs), generate an excellent and a distinctive antimicrobial effect (Table 5).

COVs are organic molecules with a molecular mass of <300 Da and their main characteristic is a high vapor pressure that facilitates its volatilization (Zou et al., 2007). Some have anti-fungal potential and can act at a distance by diffusion in the air e.g. la rhizobacteria Arthrobacter agilis UMCV2, in an in vitro system, limited the growth of the fungi Botrytis cinerea and of the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi, due to the production of amine dimethylhexadecylamine (Velázquez-Becerra et al., 2013). Likewise, with this experimental approach, Orozco-Mosqueda et al., (2015) characterized the anti-fungal activity of diverse amines with antagonistic action on four strains of the xylophagous fungi Hypocrea sp. (UMTM3) and Fusarium sp. (UMTM13) obtained by fungal scrutiny in wood in decomposition, the origin of which was a pine-oak forest. The vitro test showed that the amines evaluated presented an inhibiting effect on the growth of the UMTM fungal isolations, in which dimethylhexadecylamine stood out. Due to its fungal deadliness, it is a potentially useful biomolecule in the preventive treatment of wood against the attack of xylophagous fungi and blue stain fungus. Included in the main bacterial genuses identified as producers of COVs is Pseudomonas, since Pseudomonas spp. synthesize hydrocyanic acid (HCN), a growth inhibitor in lignocellulosic pathogens. This metabolite is produced from glycine in essentially microaerophyllic conditions, where the HCN synthetases codified by the genes hcnABC are crucial for the competition of P. fluorescens (Haas and Défago, 2005). Other bacterial species of this genus that produce fungicides are P. chlororaphis (cyclohexanol), P. corrugata (2-ethyl-1-hexanol), P. aurantiaca (nonanal, benzothiazole and dimethyl sulfate). The compound 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol is produced by Lysobacter enzymogenes ISE13, used in the suprression of the life cycle of the fungus Colletotrichum acutatum and the oomycete Phytophthora capsici, since they inhibit mycelial growth, sporulation and the germination of spores and zoospores, as well as limiting the formation of the appressorium of C. acutatum (Pedraza, 2015). Also, an important number of strains of the genus Paenibacillus can act as antagonists to pathogenic fungi, such as P. ehimensis KWN38, which synthesizes butanol, which produces an inhibition (>50 %) in the development of hyphae of the fungi Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum and of the oomycete Phytophthora capsici (Naing et al., 2014). The bacteria Paenibacillus polymyxa presents volatile components such as 1-Octen-3-ol, benzothiazole, citronellol and 1,3-dichloropropene, which severely inhibit mycelial growth and affect the spreading of fungal pathogens, and they show an interesting insecticidal and herbicidal activity (Zhao et al., 2011). Likewise, the effect of Streptomyces platensis COVs on plant pathogenic fungi was reported in a study that identified antifungal compounds such as 2-phenylethanol and a derivative of felandren, substances responsible for the suppression of mycelial growth in Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea (Wan et al., 2008). Also strains of Bacillus subtilis produce COVs that significantly limit mycelial growth, pigment production (inhibition of 43 to 93 % respectively) and control the germination of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with alkynes, alcohols, esters, ketones, amines, phenols and heterocyclic compounds (Liu et al., 2008). Microbial technologies based on sustainable principles that use agents with minimum environmental effects are the alternative and a perspective for the preservation of wood resources and its derivative.

Bacterial strategies for the control of fungi that deteriorate wood

Bacteria present diverse mechanisms through which they can inhibit the growth og microorganisms that cause the deterioration of wood and other forestry products (Zavattieri et al., 2016; Cely et al., 2016). Some of the bioactive metabolites may supress fungal germination, spreading, or affect other activities of fungal development, such as invasive activity, the survival of fungal propagules embedded in clefts or the surface of wood to avoid their spreading (Figure 2). Most of these bacterial bioactives are catalogued in the group of antibiotics that inhibit the syntheses of the cell wall and of proteins, or alter the structure of the microbial membrane system, or cause the degradation of the genetic material of the target microorganism (Maksimov et al., 2011). Some species of the genus Bacillus produce insecticidal antibiotics and proteins e.g. B. subtilis produce antibiotics, yet considered PGPRs, since they promote plant growth and a biological control over some soil pathogens. B. thuringensis produces proteins that affect the development of insects, and is therefore used as an insecticide. Both bacilli are an unexplored source of bioactives for the control of wood-decaying fungi.

Fungi require microelements for their development, and this need is vital, since these minerals can act as the farmaceutical target or objective and make them unavailable to the fungus and allow its control. The molecular chelating of ions avoids their availability and therefore the assimilation by the fungus, therefore its development. This fungal control strategy can be carried out with the siderophores, that are compounds with low molecular weight, produced and secreted by plant roots and some bacteria, e.g. siderophores capture elements such as iron (Fe+3) (Saha et al., 2016). The best siderophore-producing bacteria are found in the bacterial category of PGPRs. Although siderophores are interesting, for the purpose of this investigation, it is shown as a recurring topic for its use in the protection of wood. The bacterial ability to produce siderophores calls to attention for the chelating of iron, since when it forms a siderophore Fe3 + complex, and confining it in the bacterial cytosol with a specific receptor located in the bacterial membrane causes this micronurtient to become unavailable for microorganisms that lack the specific assimilation system and acknowledgement of such a complex (Radzki et al., 2013; Tariq et al., 2017). In this way, when using all or most of the soluble iron un the wood, fungal growth is suppressed, as well as in other microorganisms, as occurs in the rhizosphere (Bolívar-Anillo et al., 2016; Kumar et al., 2017). The ability of siderophores to act as suppressors of wood deteriorating fungi is unknown and its deleterious action may depend on chemical, physical and biological factors, as in the Rhizoshpere (Saha et al., 2016). However this is one of the challenges to overcome and that may be important in the preservation of this material. Another unexplored field in wood preservation and in the control of its biodeterioration are the lytic enzymes of polymers from fungal cell walls. These enzymes are produced by diverse microorganisms, including PGPRs, in which there have been descriptions of glucanases, proteases and chitinases. These act with the degradation of the polymers that make up the fungal cell wall of wood deteriorators, as described that takes place in pathogenic fungi (El-Tarabily and Sivasithamparam, 2006). Some of the main PGPRs that produce these enzymes are Bacillus altitudinis and B. amyloliquefaciens (Sunar et al., 2013; Tariq et al., 2017). As a natural renewable but definitely finite resource, wood is of great economic importance worldwide. A challenge in its preservation is to have strategies based on the microbial exudates to avoid the use of toxic substances in its control.

Conclusions

Bacterial metabolites such as dimethylhexadecylamine, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol or of an antibiotic nature are potentially an alternative to conventional preservatives of low durability wood. But there is still a lack of knowledge in terms of production, use and doses of the microbial exudates. Therefore, the challenge is to attain high yields and reliability of these secondary metabolites comparable to the conventional preservatives using biotechnology strategies that include microbiological components.
