Abstract

The investigations included assays of enzymatic activity of ectomycorrhizal fungi from the genera: <i>Amanita, Cenococcum, Coltricia, Hebeloma, Lactarius, Rhizopogon, Russula, Suillus, Tricholoma</i> and the pine ectendomycorrhizal strain MrgX. Among the 22 investigated strains of fungi 18 could decompose starch, 14 urea, 11 asparagine, 7 protein, 6 pectin and 3 ce1lulose. The most varied enzyme activities were found in <i>Amanita muscaria, A. verna, Hebeloma, mesophaeum</i>, ectendomycorrhizal isolate MrgX, <i>Rhizopogon luteolus</i> and <i>Suillus bovinus</i>, the highest cellolotytic activity was shown by the ectendomycorrhizal strain.
