Abstract
Assessment of laccase activity synthesized by Basidiomycota fungi in the presence of wood impregnated with creosote oil. The article presents the results of the assessment of laccase activity, synthesized by fungi causing white decomposition of wood in the presence of wood samples impregnated with creosote oil in the growth environment. The obtained results indicate that the creosote oil contained in wood modulates the activity of this enzyme. Creosote oil definitely stimulates the cells of the T. versicolor fungus to induce laccase synthesis, which may be of great practical importance in terms of the possibility of designing a biotechnological method of biodegradation of pollutants, including contaminants in the form of impregnated wood waste.
