Abstract

We collected 600 samples for screening of white rot fungi from various natural sources, including fruiting bodies, rotten woods and piles of trap lumber from West Java, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Jambi, and North Sumatra in Indonesia. We obtained from 600 samples a total of 258 isolates showing positive reaction of guaiacol oxidation by laccase based on the observation of red colored zone around and beneath mycelial colony on Acacia mangium wood powder and agar medium containing guaiacol. Tentative identification of 45 isolates from morphologic characteristics of fruiting bodies showed that the isolates belonged to the families Ganodermataceae, Corticiaceae, Polyporaceae, and Coprinaceae.
