Resumen:
The knowledge on the enzymatic machinery of fungi is decisive to understand their ecological role. The species of the genus Geastrum are known to grow extremely slowly in pure culture, which makes it difficult to evaluate physiological parameters such as enzyme activity. Qualitative assays were performed on isolates of four species of this genus, showing evident laccase, cellulase, pectinase, amylase and lipase activity and suggesting that a wide range of carbon sources can be exploited by these species. Quantitative assays verified for the first time in this genus manganese peroxidase activity (up to 0.6 mUE g-1) in 30-day old cultures, as laccase, â-glycosidase and â-xylosidase activities.
