Abstract
A versatile ligninolytic peroxidase has been cloned from Pleurotus eryngii and its allelic variant MnPL2 expressed in Aspergillus nidulans, with prope rties similar to those of the mature enzyme from P. eryngii. These include the ability to oxidize Mn2+ and aromatic substrates, confirming that this i s a new peroxidase type sharing catalytic properties of lignin peroxidase a nd manganese peroxidase.
