Ophiostoma piliferum (antagonist) (Fr.) Syd. & P. Syd. 1919
Most strains of Ophiostoma piliferum cause bluestain diseases in the wood of trees like pine or poplar, see the plant pathogenic forms of Ophiostoma piliferum. However, some melanin-deficient strains of O. piliferum have been found to prevent the formation of sap-stain on wood (e.g. see Behrendt et al., 1995). In addition, they can reduce the pitch content in wood chips before pulping (biopulping) and result in better quality paper products. Antagonistic strains of O. piliferum have been used in various countries
