Summary

Three wood-destroying fungi of the white-root type, Ganoderma resinaceum, Ganoderma pfeifferi and Ganoderma lucidum are tested in their cellulolytic activity.

Ganoderma resinaceum and Ganoderma pfeifferi produce an extracellular enzyme system, that degrade Carboxymethylcellulose and insoluble cellulose powder.

Ganoderma lucidum degrades Carboxymethylcellulose in a very small extent and only in presence of organic nitrogen sources; cellulose powder was not attacked.

Zusammenfassung

Ganoderma resinaceum und Ganoderma pfeifferi verfügen über ein Enzymsystem, das Carboxymethylcellulose und Cellulosepulver anzugreifen vermag; beide Pilze dürfen danach als cellulolytisch aktiv bezeichnet werden.

Ganoderma lucidum erweist sich dagegen als cellulolytisch inaktiv. Carboxymethylcellulose wird nur in verschwindend geringer Menge abgebaut und dies nur in Verbindung mit einer organischen N-Quelle; Cellulosepulver wird überhaupt nicht angegriffen.
