M. Miura et al., ISOLATION OF MANGANESE PEROXIDASE-PRODUCING MUTANTS OF THE HYPER-LIGNOLYTIC FUNGUS IZU-154 UNDER NITROGEN NONLIMITING CONDITIONS, Journal of fermentation and bioengineering, 83(2), 1997, pp. 191-193
Nitrogen deregulated manganese peroxidase (MnP)-producing mutants of D
euteromycotina IZU-154 were isolated based on their ability of decolor
ize synthetic melanin. One of these mutants, IZU-882, exhibited an app
roximately 2-fold higher level of MnP activity, 8-12 nkat/ml (nano kat
al/ml), under nitrogen nonlimiting conditions than that of the wild-ty
pe under nitrogen limiting conditions.
