Ligninolytic enzyme complex of Armillaria spp

Folia Microbiol (Praha). 2000;45(3):248-50. doi: 10.1007/BF02908953.

Abstract

Ten strains belonging to five species of European Armillaria (Fr.:Fr.) Staude were examined for their ability to produce laccase, lignin peroxidase, manganese-dependent peroxidase and manganese-independent peroxidase. No lignin peroxidase activity was observed in any of the strains. Manganese-dependent peroxidase production by all tested strains was low. Difference in the ratio of laccase to manganese-independent peroxidase in strains of A. gallica in comparison to all other species was detected.
