Abstract
Increasing Ca2+ concentration enhances the pectolytic activity and growth of T. elegans on a sodium polypectate substrate at pH 6.5 + A similar effect is obtained when the fungus is grown on alder-leaf strips as the sole carbon source with pectolytic activity measured as maceration of leaf tissue. Stimulation of pectic enzymes of aquatic hyphomycetes by Ca2+ may contribute to the increase in the rate of decay of plant material in streams of increasing Ca2+ concentration.
