Molecular Identification of Fungi Myceliopthora verrucosa which Producing Laccase Enzyme

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of ITS region was used to identify the fungus isolated from plastic garbage which can produce laccase enzyme. DNA bands were purified from agarose gel and then sequenced and after entering these nucleotides to the data base it was found that the DNA band belongs to the genus Myceliopthora verrucosa in 100% matching. This method is a very sensitive method for the identification of species and strains of fungi as well as its simplicity in comparing between fungi species.
