abstract：:Laccases are phenol-oxidizing, multicopper enzymes produced by fungi, plants, insects and bacteria. Fungal laccases are involved in ecologically important processes such as decomposition of lignocellulose (wood and plant material). In this work, in order to find out the role of fungal laccases upon wood colonisation a...
