Abstract
Benzyl alcohol oxidase (BAO) has been assayed for the culture medium a nd mycelia of Botrytis cinerea, grown in the presence of aromatic alco hols with either glucose or galactose. Veratryl and coniferyl alcohols increased the BAO activities of both fraction. Activities were highes t with the combination of veratryl alcohol and galactose. The implicat ion of BAO in the degradation of lignin-related compounds with regards to the host-parasite interaction is discussed.
