Synthesis of Extracellular L-lysine-α-oxidase along with Degrading Enzymes by cf. Rifai VKM F-4268D: Role in Biocontrol and Systemic Plant Resistance.

When cultivating on wheat bran or deactivated fungal mycelium as a model of "natural growth", the ability of to synthesize extracellular L-lysine-α-oxidase (LysO) simultaneously with cell-wall-degrading enzymes (proteases, xylanase, glucanases, chitinases, etc.), responsible for mycoparasitism, was shown. LysO, in turn, causes the formation of HO and pipecolic acid.
