[The lignolytic activity of some white-rot fungi of the genus Pleurotus].

In this study, phenoloxidase activities of some fungi, Pleurotus sajorcaju, P. sapidus, P. astreatus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium which are usually considered in white - rot fungal group, were measured. The Phenoloxidase activities of all the species in Pleurotus genus were found to be higher than that of P. chrysosporium. When the lignolytic activities of P. sajor - caju and P. chrysosporium were compared, P. sajor - caju was found to have higher activity than that of P. chrysosporium.
