Abstract

A 70-kDa extracellular laccase was purified from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea using gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography The procedure provided 282-fold purification with a specific enzyme activity of 225.91 U mg−1 and a yield of 11.92%. The enzyme oxidized a wide range of substrates. The highest level of oxidation was detected with syringaldazine as the substrate. Using syringaldazine as the substrate, the enzyme exhibited a pH optimum of 6 and temperature optimum of 30°C, and its Kmwas 0.118 mM. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Cu-chelating agents.
