title: Study of phenoloxidase activity during the reproductive cycle in Schizophyllum commune.
abstract: A study of the temporal relationship between the appearance of phenoloxidase activity and the formation of fruiting bodies in Schizophyllum commune was undertaken. The results indicate that phenoloxidase activity increases in colonies subsequent to the formation of aggregate masses of hyphae, continues to increase until mature, sporulating fruiting structures are produced, and then declines significantly.
