“…We observed a negative correlation between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and laccase activity (Pearson, r = À.45, p < .05) as well as between Toxic Units (TU) and laccase activity (Pearson, r = À.50, p < .05). As suggested in others studies, we hypothesised that both DOC quantity and quality (Elisashvili, Penninckx, Kachlishvili, Asatiani, & Kvesitadze, 2006;Mikiashvili, Wasser, Nevo, & Elisashvili, 2006;Roman ı, Artigas, & Ylla, 2012) or the presence of some pesticide compounds could be important in laccase activity regulation (Oliveira et al, 2013;Zapp et al, 2011). Alternatively, shifts in fungal communities structure, highlighted by changes in fungal band richness, can partially explain the differences in laccase activity observed between sites and after translocation (Frey, Knorr, Parrent, & Simpson, 2004;Osono, 2007;Treton, Chauvet, & Charcosset, 2004).…”
