Abstrakt: The filamentous white-rot fungus Pycnoporus cinnabarinus secretes extracellular phenol-oxidases. This paper demonstrates that the Fractal Dimension of branching complexity can be used to predict the generalized yield of this oxidase in submerged culture. This confirms a positive correlation between the amount of hyphal tip branching and exo-enzyme secretion in this fungus, and under these conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
