%X Mycorrhizal roots of the deciduous trees European
beech (Fagus sylvatica (L.)) and
Sessile oak (Quercus petraea (MattuschkaLiebl.)) and the conifers Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) and European larch (Larix decidua (Mill.)) associated with
the ectomycorrhizal fungi matt bolete (Xerocomus
pruinatus (Fries 1835)) or bay bolete (X.
badius (Fries 1818)) were analysed with respect to the occurrence of
dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (EC 1.8.1.4) allozymes. In root tissues of the two
deciduous trees, two gene loci could be
visualized after cellulose acetate electrophoresis while three loci were expressed
in root tissues of the two coniferous species. The two fungal species and
further ectomycorrhizal fungi expressed exclusively one dihydrolipoyl
dehydrogenase gene. In Xerocomus
pruinatus and X. badius, the dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase gene consists of 1460 bp and 1370 bp,
respectively, including five introns each consisting of 52 bp. Their DNA
sequences correspond to 70 to 90% to other fungal dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
genes. One monomer of the dimeric dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase enzyme consists
of 486 (X. pruinatus) or 454 (X.
