| Research Abstract |
Lignocellulosic resources are expected as sustainable resources which can be converted to useful materials such as bio-ethanol or biodegradable plastics and not competing with utilization as foods. However, effective elimination of lignin is a bottle neck in the conversion process of lignocellulosics and white-rot fungi can solve this problem providing specific enzymes which are very difficult to produce by heterologous organisms. In this study, basic properties specific for expression of proteins have been analyzed in white-rot fungi, such as Pleurotus ostreatus and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora
