Abstract
The activity of aryl-alcohol oxidase was detected in the mycelial extr acts of a lignin-degrading basidiomycete, Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The induction of production of the enzyme by aryl-alcohols was sugges ted. The enzyme,vas purified to homogeneity. The molecular weight was estimated to be about 78,000. The prosthetic group was found to be FAD . Several aryl alcohols can serve as substrates but aliphatic alcohols are inert.
