Title: Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide in Cultures of the Edible Mushroom, Agaricus bisporus
Authors: J.-M. Savoie, M. Besson and J. Caluon

Abstract:

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is suspected of being implicated in compost utilization by Agaricus bisporus during its commercial cultivation A method was established for measuring H₂O₂ concentration m composts H₂O₂ concentrations measured were shown to be a marker of mycelium biomass production during both the vegetative growth and the period of sporophore development Experiments with agar media showed that glucose oxidases, aryl alcohol oxidases and methanol oxidases were potential H₂O₂ producing enzymes for A bisporus.
