[The dynamics of oxidase activity during cultivation of basidiomycetes from the genus Trametes Fr].

Twenty strains of the wood-degrading fungi from the genus Trametes Fr., capable of synthesizing laccases, were screened according to the changes in the oxidase activity in a submerged culture. The range of maximal efficiency of various species with respect to extracellular oxidase activity was determined.

Isolation and Purification of enzymes from ligninolytic complex of the basidial fungus Trametes pubescens (Schumach.) Pilát and study of their properties.

A method for purification of enzymes from the ligninolityc complex of the basidiomycete Trametes pubescens (Schumach.) Pilat has been elaborated. Two homogeneous isoforms of laccases (laccase 1 and laccase 2) as well as a homogeneous preparation of lignin peroxidase were isolated.

Comparison of physico-chemical characteristics of four laccases from different basidiomycetes.

New strains of basidiomycetes producing extracellular laccases (Trametes ochracea 92-78, and Trametes hirsuta 56) have been found by screening of isolates of Trametes fungi. The laccases from T. hirsuta 56 and T.
