White rot fungi are well known prominent and efficient producers of various extra-cellular enzymes that play an essential role in various industries including food, paper, textile, medicine, etc. Therefore, the two important white rot species of Lentinus cladopus and Pleurotus pulmonarius were screened for the qualitative profile of various enzymes on solid medium. The result obtained revealed the remarkable presence of different extracellular enzymes including cellulase, mannanase, xylanase, pectinase, amylase, lipase and protease by both the fungi. However Pleurotus pulmonarius was found to be more efficient in producing almost each screened enzymes in comparison to Lentinus cladopus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
