title: [Determination of several substrate-decomposition enzyme activities of Agrocybe cylindracea at different stages of development with spectrophotometer].
abstract: In the present paper the authors studied the activities of amylase, peroxidase, laccase, protease and cellulase at different developmental stages of agrocybe cylindracea and its mutation with the spectrophotometer. The result showed that the activity of amylase and peroxidase in hyphal stage is the highest for the two basidiomycetes. It can be concluded that these two enzymes are important in vegetative growth stage, but they may have little effect after the appearance of fruit body. The change of their protease is similar: in the hyphal growth stage it is higher than that of mature mushroom. But the activities of laccase and cellulase are very different between the two basidiomycetes. It is obvious that they are some different in physiology and biochemistry.
