Comparison of extracellular peroxidase- and esterase-deficient mutants of Streptomyces viridosporus T7A
Article Abstract:
Mutants of Streptomyces viridosporus T7A deficient in peroxidase activity were characterized with regard to their extracellular peroxidase and esterase activities and their acid-precipitable polymeric lignin-producing abilities. The results showed that decreased peroxidase activities and altered esterase production patterns. Lignin solubilization was also decreased. The results indicated that peroxidase plays a direct role in lignin solubilization, which may also involve esterases.

The halophilic fungus Hortaea werneckii and the halotolerant fungus aureobasidium pullulans maintain low intracellular cation concentrations in hypersaline environments
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to investigate whether in halophilic Hortaea werneckii and in halotolerant Aureobasidium pullulans osmotic adjustments of sodium and potassium also occur in response to osmotic stress. Small fluctuations of cation concentrations are observed after a hypersonic shock in nonadapted Aureobasidium pullulans similar to those in salt-adapted Hortaea werneckii, which additionally confirmed better regulation of ionic homeostasis in the latter.
