Abstract
This work is an attempt at an overview of recent advances in the physi ology, biochemistry, and lignin-degrading mechanisms of white-rot fung i with special emphasis on their ligninolytic activity under natural a nd laboratory conditions. The geographical distribution of these fungi and their role in natural ecosystems are discussed. The compositions of the ligninolytic enzyme complexes of the most efficient lignin-degr ading fungi are considered.
