From the extracellular fluid of a novel strain of Bjerkandera sp., it was isolated, purified and identified the main enzyme responsible for Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye decolourisation. Such an enzyme is able to oxidise manganese, as well as veratryl alcohol and 2,6- dimethoxyphenol in manganese-independent reactions; hence, it can be included in the new group of versatile peroxidases. The molecular mass of sai...
The cloning and sequencing of the rbpa gene coding for a versatile peroxidase from a novel Bjerkandera strain is hereby reported. The 1777 bp isolated fragment contained a 1698 bp peroxidase-encoding gene, interrupted by 11 introns. The 367 amino acid-deduced sequence includes a 27 amino acid-signal peptide. The molecular model, built via homology modelling with crystal structures of four fungal peroxidases, hi...
