Abstract

The ligninolytic system in the two deuteromycetous fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Trichoderma atroviride, which are able to solubilize low-rank coal [1], has been proved to have several components. Analysis of the chromosomal DNA of these fungi revealed distinct bands with probes coding for three ligninase isoenzymes (H7, H8, H10), glyoxal oxidase and arylalcohol dehydrogenase of the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium. These data constitute a strong indication for the existence in F. oxysporum and T. atroviride of a ligninolytic system comparable to that in P. chrysosporium that may be involved in the process of coal solubilization.
