In lignin-degrading fungi, copper is essential for the phenol oxidase enzymes that provide this activity. In this paper we report the characterization of a gene (ctr1) coding for a copper transporter in the white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus.
The coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm.1 It is oval to round in shape and 6 to 12 inches in diameter. The dry, hard outer shell is brown, green or yellow in color.1 It is unclear if the coconut is native to the Southeast Asian peninsula or northwest South America.

Little is known about the history of the coconut.The coconut has been popular in lore and on palates for centuries, yet little is known about the history of coconut's domestication and dispersal around the world. Now, a biologist at Washington University in St. Louis is embarking on the task of
bstract. One prerequisite to reliable molecular biology work is that the genomic DNA of a sample be of good quality. Coconut is quite difficult to work on because of the high lipid and polysaccharide content of its endosperm and the high polyphenol content of its leaves.
Leaf: Alternate, pinnately compound, up to 18 feet long; individual leaflets, lance shaped and 2 to 3 feet long, dark green, arching, the leaf bases wrapped by a burlap-like husk.
