The aim of this work was to detect the presence of Basidiomycetes spores (basidiospores, teliospores, uredospores and aeciospores) in Mérida (SW Spain) and assess the influence of weather parameters. Air was sampled continuously with a volumetric seven-day Burkard spore trap for two years. Fungi spores were identified and counted at x1,000 microscope resolution. Daily and weekly meteorological ...

The activity of oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes of the edible and medicinal white rot fungi Coprinus cinereus (Schaeff.) Gray mushroom was observed during mycelia growth and fruiting body development in solid substrate fermentation using sisal waste fractions amended with cow dung manure as supplement. Laccase had the highest titre value among the five detected enzymes. Its activity was higher...

Oxidation of 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine oximes catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and recombinant Coprinus cinereus (rCiP) was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction rate dependences on the substrate hydrogen peroxide concentrations were investigated; values apparent KM Vmax, catalytic, oxidation reduction constants (kcat, kox kred, respectively) calculated. reactivit...
