    Notes: Fruit bodies of the copper-tolerant brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis palustris were produced in liquid medium for the first time. To induce fruit body formation of this fungus, it was important to inoculate the liquid medium with mycelia grown on potato dextrose agar plates and also to adjust the initial pH of the medium to 5.0. The metabolic role of the glyoxylate and tricarboxylic acid cycles during fungal development in the liquid culture was investigated in relation to oxalate biosynthesis. The enzymes for the glyoxylate cycle and oxalate biosynthesis in mycelium showed greater activities at the vegetative growth stage than at the fruiting stage. The ratios of isocitrate dehydrogenase activity to isocitrate lyase activity in mycelium were 0.3 and 4.0 at the vegetative and fruiting stage, respectively. Thus, isocitrate lyase of the glyoxylate cycle played a more important role in oxalate synthesis at the earlier stage of the cultivation, whereas isocitrate dehydrogenase played a major role in glutamate synthesis during fruit body formation.

    Notes: The effects of exogenously added L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) on the activities of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol (veratryl alcohol, VA) biosynthesis in ligninolytic cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium were investigated. Increasing PAL activity was detected in low nitrogen (LN) culture but not in high nitrogen (HN) culture. The addition of L-Phe into the LN culture caused a 25-fold increase in enzyme activity, which clearly shows that L-Phe, a substrate of the enzyme, served as an inducer of PAL. The increase in activity of PAL triggered by nitrogen starvation was correlated with biosynthesis of VA. However, PAL induced by the added L-Phe did not promote VA biosynthesis but suppressed the biosynthesis probably due to NH4+ released from L-Phe.

    Notes: Abstract: The possible roles of oxalic acid, veratryl alcohol, and manganese were investigated in relation to lignin biodegradation by white-rot basidiomycetes. Oxalate inhibited both lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese-peroxidase (MnP). and was decarboxylated by the mediation of veratryl alcohol and Mn. Oxalate was shown to regulate the mineralization of lignin in the in vivo system of Phanerochaete chrysosporium. In the brown-rot wood decay process, oxalic acid may serve as an acid catalyst as well as an electron donor for the Fenton reaction, to breakdown cellulose and hemicellulose. Oxaloacetase and glyoxylate oxidase may play a key role in production of oxalic acid by white-rot and brown-rot basidiomycetes such as Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Coriolus versicolor and Tyromyces palustris. A possible role of oxalate metabolism is discussed in relation to the physiology of wood-rotting fungi.
