S. Rajakumar et al., LIP-LIKE GENES IN PHANEROCHAETE SORDIDA, AND CERIPORIOPSIS-SUBVERMISPORA, WHITE-ROT FUNGI WITH NO DETECTABLE LIGNIN PEROXIDASE-ACTIVITY, Applied and environmental microbiology, 62(7), 1996, pp. 2660-2663
Lignin peroxidase-like genes were PCR amplified from Phanerochaete sor
dida and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, fungi lacking lignin peroxidase
(LiP) activity. Amplification products were highly similar to previous
ly described LiP genes. Using reverse transcription-coupled PCR a LiP-
like cDNA clone was amplified from P. sordida RNA. In contrast, no evi
dence was obtained for transcription of C. subvermispora LiP genes.
