Abstract

Coprinus congregatus has a membrane-associated laccase which is not secreted into culture media. A mutant monokaryon obtained, by U. V. irradiation followed by protoplast generation and regeneration method, was successfully isolated. When the mutant was grown on a agar plate or in a liquid medium, it secreted laccase while the wild type did not under the same growth conditions. The laccase of the mutant was compared with that of wild type did not under the same growth conditions. The laccase of the mutant was compared with that of wild type of native PAGE analysis, and showed identical mobility.
