It has been shown that the fungus Lentinus edodes grown on a solid wort agar substrate produces intracellular enzymes, including Mn-dependent peroxidase, laccase, and tyrosinase as a family of isoforms. The composition of the complex (containing one to four forms of each enzyme) varied during the basidiomycete life cycle. The activity of oxidases was maximal at the stage of nonpigmented mycelium and at the stages of a brown mycelial mat and a fruit body. The activity of tyrosinase increased in the course of mycelium pigmentation and had two maxima: at the stage of a brown mycelial mat and at the stage of a fruit body. Laccase and tyrosinase activities were shown to increase sharply upon addition of oak sawdust extract to the culture medium as compared with the enzyme activities of mycelium grown on wort agar alone. It was established that the effect of phenol oxidase substrates on the growing mycelium consists in a twofold acceleration of the process of morphogenesis in the fungus L. edodes.
