Most fungi possess several hydrogen peroxide-generating enzymes, glucose oxidase and pyranose oxidase. Pyranose oxidase can use glucose as its substrate to generate hydrogen peroxide. White rot fungi, which degrade diverse recalcitrant compounds, contain lignin-degrading enzymes, and lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase require hydrogen peroxide for their enzymatic reactions. In this study, we isolated a cDNA fragment of pyranose oxidase from Phlebia tremellosa using PCR and examined its e ...[more]
