title: Method to identify specific alleles of a Phanerochaete chrysosporium gene encoding lignin peroxidase.
abstract: A method to identify and differentiate allelic variants of the gene encoding lignin peroxidase isozyme H8 is presented. The strategy involves amplifying a variable region of the gene's carboxy terminus by use of the polymerase chain reaction and then probing with allele-specific oligonucleotides.
