Uracil auxotrophs of Phanerochaete chrysosporium were isolated using 5-fluoroorotate resistance as a selection scheme. The ura3 auxotrophs deficient in orotidylate decarboxylase and ura5 auxotrophs deficient in orotate phosphoribosyl transferase were characterized by enzyme assays and complementatio

The isolation and characterization of glucose oxidase-negative (gox-) mutants of Phanerochaete chrysosporium, is described. These mutants are deficient not only in their ability to produce hydrogen peroxide (H202) but also in lignin degradation (2'-14C-synthetic lignin ~ 14CO2), Iigninase and peroxi
Cellulose-degrading cultures of the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium produce two extracellular cellobiose-oxidizing enzymes, cellobiose oxidase and cellobiose:quinone oxidoreductase. These two enzymes bind strongly to microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in the pH range 4-7; above neutral pH
