 Hello : I have used API ZYM kit in my research to characterize isolates 
of a basidiomycete fungus Chondrostereum purpureum used as a potential 
biocontrol agent for competing hardwood vegetation in the Canadian 
conifer plantations and utility rights-of-way. You can purchase the kit 
either in the U.S. or Canada. The address in the U.S. is: Api Analytab 
products, Division of Sherwood Medical, 200 Express street, Plainview, 
New york, N.Y. 11803; and the address in Canada is: Api products, 8114-B
 Route Transcanadienne, St. Laurent, Quebec H4S 1M5. I have a paper in 
press in the European journal of Forest Pathology which is related to 
use of this technique for a quick detection and screening of 20 
different enzymes. Please, let me know if i can help you further. good 
luck in your research.
