Brm. Vyas et al., EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON THE PRODUCTION OF MANGANESE PEROXIDASE AND LIGNIN PEROXIDASE BY PHANEROCHAETE-CHRYSOSPORIUM, Folia microbiologica, 39(1), 1994, pp. 19-22
Growth temperature played an important role in the appearance, maximum
level and ratio of manganese peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (
LIP) activities in the cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium. While
at higher temperatures (39, 33, and 28 degrees C) both enzymes were pr
oduced (with LIP being the major one) at 23 degrees C MnP was dominant
. Ar 18 degrees C, of the two ligninolytic peroxidases only MnP activi
ty was detected. Decrease of proteolytic activity at lower temperature
s probably contributed to the retention of MnP and LIP activities.
