R. Kaneko et al., BIOBLEACHING WITH MANGANESE PEROXIDASE PURIFIED FROM THE PULP BLEACHING FUNGUS SKB-1152, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 59(8), 1995, pp. 1584-1585
Previous study has shown that a crude manganese peroxidase (MnP) prepa
ration from the fungus could bleach oxygen-alkaline treated hardwood k
raft pulp (OKP) with manganese, glucose, and glucose oxidase. Using pu
rified MnP instead of the crude one also did OKP bleaching with Tween
20. We conclude that MRP is important in this fungal bleaching system.
