Abstract
The effect of added L-amino acids and NH4+ On manganese peroxidase act ivity in ligninolytic cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium were inv estigated. Among 11 amino acids (0.2 mM) tested, including phenylalani ne, glutamate, glutamine, histidine, alanine, iso-leucine, ornithine, glycine, aspartate, proline, and arginine, phenylalanine was the most effective in suppression of manganese peroxidase synthesis. However, a ll the amino acids tested except proline completely suppressed the enz yme synthesis at 2 mM concentration.
