Abstract
A novel enzyme activity was detected in the extracellular fluid of Bjerkandera sp. BOS 55. The purified enzyme could oxidize several compounds, such as Phenol red, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP), Poly R-478, ABTS and guaiacol, with H2O2 as an electron acceptor. In contrast, veratryl alcohol was not a substrate. This enzyme also had the capacity to oxidize DMP in the absence of H2O2. With some substrates, a strong inhibition of the peroxidative activity by Mn2+ was observed. Phenol red oxidation was inhibited by 84% with only 1 mM of this metal ion. Because DMP oxidation by this enzyme is only slightly inhibited by Mn2+, this substrate should not be used in assays to detect manganese peroxidase. The enzyme is tentatively named 'Manganese-Inhibited Peroxidase'.Entities:
