Abstract

Fungi commonly encountered on monocotyledonous substrates were evaluated for their in vitro ability to produce enzymes involved in lignocellulose breakdown. Most were capable of structural polysac-charide utilization, but few produced enzymes associated with lignin breakdown. None of the mono-cotyledon-inhabiting fungi produced reactions as strongly as wood decay fungi.
