Abstract
Isozyme patterns were examined to characterize biological species ofArmillaria in Japan. Of 25 different enzymes tested, glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) showed the most stable and reliable activities. These isozyme patterns showed little variability between haploid and diploid hyphae even under different cultural conditions among isolates tested. From the results, six Japanese biological species were clearly characterized through combination of GDH and LDH isozymes. There were no differences on the whole in isozyme patterns among European biological species ofArmillaria.
