Abstract
A total of 60 fungal strains from 33 species of xylotrophic macrofungi (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) inhabiting on the territory of the State Natural Biosphere Reserve "Bryanskiy les" (Bryansk Oblast, European Russia) were analyzed by the method of rapid screening in order to determine the lignocellulolytic enzymes. As a result of the qualitative analysis, a group of fungi with the highest lignocellulolytic and degradation potential, including representatives of the families Fomitopsidaceae, Meruliaceae, Polyporaceae and Steccherinaceae (Polyporales), was revealed. For the first time Rhodofomes roseus was shown to be able to decolorize polyphenolic dye azure B. Strains of LE-BIN 3969 Rhodofomes roseus, LE-BIN 4122 Trametes hirsuta and LE-BIN 4123 Trametes ochracea, which are of high interest for quantitative analysis of their enzymatic potential and use in biotechnology, were selected.
