Isolation and properties of peroxidase produced by the fungus Panus tigrinus

Synthesis of peroxidase and laccase by the fungus Panus tigrinus was significantly stimulated by addition of the lignocellulose substrate to the culture media. Peroxidase was isolated from the culture liquid and some properties of the enzyme were investigated. P. tigrinus peroxidase belongs to a group of extracellular peroxidases similar to the plant type peroxidases.
