Abstract
The role of the phenol-oxidizing enzymes, laccase and peroxidase, was examined in the fungus-to-fungus interaction in dual cultures. Among five white-rot fungi, the following predominance in competition was observed: Pleurotus ostreatus > Trametes versicolor > Pycnoporus coccineus > Ganoderma applanatum > Schizophyllum commune. Both phenol-oxidizing enzyme activities were detected markedly at the confrontation region, and under the mycelia growing over other colonies more than in other areas of the dual culture. This property was most notably observed in the P. ostreatus cultures. The fungi that produce superior active phenol-oxidizing enzymes were predominant in the competition between confronting fungi, indicating that phenol-oxidizing enzymes relate to fungusto-fungus interaction.
