Popis: Extracellular esterase activities in station- ary liquid culture filtrates for fifteen species of wood- and bark-inhabiting homobasidiomycetes were deter- mined spectrophotometrically using p-nitrophenol- acyl esters of four to eighteen carbon atoms. In a basal medium supplemented with glucose, Dendroth- ele acerina, D. griseo-cana and Mycena meliigena showed esterase activities with preferences for shorter acyl substrates, whereas Aleurodiscus oakesii, Cystoster- eum pini-canadense, Dichostereum effuscatum and Den- drophora albo-badia exhibited esterase activities with preferences for longer acyl substrates. Aleurodiscus oakesii, D. effuscatum and M. meliigena were also grown in media supplemented with suber- in-rich commercial cork or processed maple rhyti
