ISOLATION PARTIAL PURIFICATION AND STABILITY STUDIES OF MANGANESE PEROXIDASE FROM WHITE ROT BASODIOMYCETES, PLEUROTUS TUBER-REGIUM
ABSTRACT Manganese peroxidase (MnP) enzyme is the most common lignin-modifying peroxidase produced by almost all wood-colonizing basidiomycetes causing white-rot and various soil-colonizing litter- decomposing fungi. Multiple forms of this glycosylated haeme protein with molecular weight normally at 40 to 50 kDa are secreted by ligninolytic fungi into their micro-environment. In the present study, a ligninolytic fungus was able to produce manganese peroxidase. The organism was identified as Pleurotus tuber-regium. Parameter ...
