Sensitivity and specificity of phenoloxidase reactions of 1059 strains and species of micromycetes cultivated on malt/agar medium

The phenoloxidase (POx) activities of 1059 strains and species of micromycetes were determined on malt/agar medium. Overall, 600 (57%) of the isolates produced one or more POx. The sensitivity and specificity of the POx activities towards various substrates were used to group the isolates. Some 187...

More Information
Summary:The phenoloxidase (POx) activities of 1059 strains and species of micromycetes were determined on malt/agar medium. Overall, 600 (57%) of the isolates produced one or more POx. The sensitivity and specificity of the POx activities towards various substrates were used to group the isolates. Some 187 strains (31% of those producing POx) produced well-defined enzymes, 236 (39%) produced incompletely identified enzymes and 177 (30%) produced other, unidentified POx.
