Enzymatic activity of mycorrhizal fungi. II

Abstract

An attempt bas been made to evaluate the participation of mycorrhizal fungi in the process of degradation of some aromatic compounds. 24 strains of ectomycorrhizal fungi, l ectendomycorrhizal stram and 11 nonmycorrhizal strains which decomposed wood were investigated. The observations were aimed at showing the synthesis by these fungi of laccase, peroxidase and tyrosinase. None of these fungi synthetized peroxidase.
