Project description:The brown rot fungus, Fomitopsis pinicola strain FP-58527, was cultivated in media containing ground Populus tremuloides, Pinus taeda or Picea glauca wood as sole carbon source. Mass spectrometry analyses identified proteins likely involved in the degradation of lignocellulose. Patterns of enzymes detected varied with substrate.
