“…Recent studies show the common presence of Aureobasidium melanogenum , formerly known as Aureobasidium pullulans variety melanogenum (Gostinčar et al, ), in natural biofinishes of wood (Van Nieuwenhuijzen, Houbraken, Meijer, Adan, & Samson, ). Also the impact of other fungal species, such as Superstratomyces , has to be considered (Van Nieuwenhuijzen et al, ; Van Nieuwenhuijzen, Houbraken, et al, ; Van Nieuwenhuijzen, Miadlikowska, et al, ). Although many parameters define the growth conditions on the surface of a material outdoors, for example, rain, air temperature, or solar radiation, one of the controllable parameters is the type of vegetable oil used for the wood impregnation.…”
