Esterases (carboxyl esterase, alkaline and acid phosphatases, aryl sulphatase) and glycosidases (α- and β-glucosidases, α- and β-galactosidases, β-xylosidase and β-glucuronidase) were found in hyphae of 19 mycelial cultures of 16 species of macromycetes by cytochemical methods in situ. The results were evaluated qualitatively at cellular level. α-glucosidase and β-galactosidase can be used for chemotaxonomical purposes.
