Activities of some catabolic and anabolic enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism during developmental phases of fruit-bodies of Dictyophora indusiata and Geastrum fornicatum

摘要

Many basidiomycetous fungi and particularly the members of Gasteromycetes are very important in forest ecosystem and help in recycling of cellulosic forest wastes. Although metabolism of carbon compounds both in vivo and in vitro were studied in manysoil bacteria and lower fungi, little information is available in higher Basidiomycetes. Operation of glyoxylate pathway and its involvement in the basidiospores of Lycoperdon and in some members of Agaricales has been reported earlier. In these organisms, pathways for central carbohydrate metabolism were not studied.
