Microbial colonizers of freshly sawn yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) lumber in two seasons: Part 2. Bacteria

This paper reports on the identity and frequency of isolation of bacteria colonizing freshly-sawn (green) yellow-poplar lumber dead-stacked for 60 days in spring and summer of 2000. Total abundance of bacteria comprised 43% of the total population of isolated microorganisms and 14 different species of bacteria were identified. Bacillus sp was the predominant species and accounted for 42% of the total bacteria positively identified. Abundance of bacteria on each sampling date increased with increasing average ambient temperature in the period leading up to sampling.
