Stimulation of Hydrogen Peroxide Production in the White Rot Fungus Bjerkandera SP. Strain BOS55 by Antagonism with Bacteria, 1997 Biological Sciences Symposium Proceedings

White rot fungi produce hydrogen peroxide (H,O,) by different extracellular oxidases as part of their ligninolytic system. A previous study showed that H,O* production was the limiting factor in the degradation of polyaromatic xenobiotics such as anthracene and Poly R-478.

Ln this study we were able to stimulate the production of H*O,-generating aryl alcohol oxidase (AAO) and concomitantly increase the H202 concentration in cultures of Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55 by introducing the bacterial strain RH-94 to the fungal culture. In the presence of bacterium, the AA0 activity and H,O, concentration were enhanced up to ten-fold reaching peak values...
