Fomes sclerodermeus is a white-rot fungus. Its production of laccase,
manganese peroxidase
and lignin peroxidase on sawdust-based media was evaluated. No lignin peroxidase activity was measured in any media tested. The higher production of laccase and
manganese peroxidase
were found on media containing poplar sawdust. F. sclerodermeus was grown on wood blocks of poplar during six months. Dry weight losses of the blocks reached a mean value of 51%. The quantification of cellulose and lignin in the 6-months incubated blocks showed losses of up to 58 and 56% for cellulose and lignin, respectively. The decay examined under microscope revealed mycelium colonizing the lumen of vessel elements, cell wall
thinning
and entire degradation of the radial parenchyma.
