Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of the ligninolytic system of the wood-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium is induced during secondary metabolism, brought about by nitrogen, carbon, or sulfur starvation. We describe here a strategy for selection of mutants which are ligninolytic (lignin----CO2) and overproduce lignin-degrading enzymes (ligninases) under nutrient-rich conditions (during primary metabolism). The strategy is...
