Induction of laccase in Basidiomycetes: apparent activity of the inducible and constitutive forms of the enzyme with phenolic substrates.
The purified preparations of the inducible and constitutive forms of laccase (EC 1.14.18.1) have been obtained from mycelia of Trametes versicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pholiota mutabilis. The activities of the inducible forms of laccase with ferulic acid and other phenolic hydrogen donors were found to be several-fold higher as compared with the constitutive forms.
