Phenoloxidase Activity in Coprinus-Cinereus Due to Protoplasting and Insertion Treatment with Pleurotus-Ostreatus DNA
An apparent phenoloxidase (POase) negative strain of Coprinus cinereus acquired POase activity through either protoplasting or DNA-insertion treatment. The DNA-treated C cinereus showed an electrophoretic band with POase activity, which is similar to the Pleurotus ostreatus used for the DNA source.
