Description:
Mono- and dikaryotic isolates of the marine wood-inhabiting Basidiomycete Nia vibrissa from various marine zones were investigated in semiquantitative tests for 15 enzymes in redox metabolism (laccase, peroxidase, tyrosinase), carbohydrate metabolism (amylase, cellulase, chitinase, β-glucosidase, laminarinase, pectate transeliminase, xylanase), fat metabolism (lipase), nitrogen metabolism (caseinase, gelatinase, nitrate reductase, urease). All experiments were conducted at 22°C on agar plates or test tubes wiU qedia containing synthetic seawater or deionized water. Most of the strains showed an identical enzyme pattern. Amylase, caseinase, cellulase, gelatinase, laminarinase, lipase, nitrate reductase, peroxidase and xylanase were found in all strains, tyrosinase in none. The production of enzymes did not show any significant differences as regards the nuclear status (mono- or dikaryon) or the biogeographical origin of the strains.
