Abstract
Secretion of ligninperoxidase [E.C.1.11.1.7] by Penicillium citrinum, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus terreus in liquid culture growth medium has been demonstrated. Enzymatic characteristics like Km, pH and temperature optima using veratryl alcohol as the organic substrate of ligninperoxidases from above sources have been determined. Km values using veratryl alcohol as substrate for enzymes from P. citrinum, F. oxysporum and A. terreus were 69, 64 and 60 microM respectively. Km values using H2O2 as the variable substrate were 64, 72 and 80 microM.The pH optima were 4.0, 2.3 and 2.0 respectively. The values of temperature optima were 30 degrees, 25 degrees and 22 degrees C for the enzymes from P. citrinum, F. oxysporum and A. terreus respectively.
