The purpose of this study was to determine the progressive changes in physical and chemical properties ofEucalyptus globuluswood under the action of a representative white rot fungus,Coriolus versicolor. Observations concerning the nature and relative effects on weight loss, hot water solubility, 1 sodium hydroxide solubility, Klason lignin, holocellulose, intrinsic viscosity and degree of polymerisation of holocellulose, pentosans, methoxyl value, neutral sugar composition and nitrobenzene oxidation products are discussed.
