Lignin-Degrading Enzyme from the Hymenomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burds

MING TIEN 1 and T. KENT KIRK 1

1 Forest Products Laboratory, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Madison, Wisconsin 53705

The extracellular fluid of ligninolytic cultures of the wood-decomposing basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burds. contains an enzyme that degrades lignin substructure model compounds as well as spruce and birch lignins. It has a molecular size of 42,000 daltons and requires hydrogen peroxide for activity.
