title: Cellulase activity of higher fungi.
abstract: The method of liquefaction of gel from cross-linked cellulose was used for monitoring the cellulolytic activity of 114 cultures of higher fungi, 47 of which belonged to Pleurotus ostreatus. All cultures of P. ostreatus had a low activity. The highest cellulase activity, manifested by Piptoporus betulinus, was comparable with that of Tricloderma viride QM6a.
