Abstract
The reduction of ferric chelate caused by various wood-rot fungi was analyz ed. Ferric chelate reductive activity was detected in cell-free extracts of seven wood-rot fungi: Phanerochaete chrysosporium, P. sordida YK-624, Gano derma sp. YK-505, Coriolus versicolor, Bjerkandera a adusta, Tyromyces palu strius, and Gloeophyllum trabeum. These fungi produced NADPH- or NADH-depen dent ferric chelate reductive enzymes (or both) of different molecular weig ht. In the liquid culture of P. sordida YK-623 and C. versicolor, a positiv e correlation was observed between extracellular MnP activity and intracell ular NADPH-dependent ferric chelate reductive activity.
