5. Laccase gene expression in a sugar maple forest site
work in Prof. Vandenbols and Prof. Zaks group
The focus of this study was to develop new primers to follow the expression of fungal lignocellulolytic enzyme coding genes in a forst site in Michigan, which was chronically supplemented with an increased amount of nitrogen. One enzyme with ligninolytic potential among them was laccase.
