Laccases produced by lichens of the order Peltigerales.

چکیده
'Large' and 'small' fractions of laccase were found in the thalli of lichens Solorina crocea and Peltigera aphthosa. In both lichens, 'large', possibly dimeric, laccases were determined as 175 and 165 kDa (based on the gel filtration data), and 'small' ones were 76 and 97 kDa (according to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis data), respectively. By their substrate specificity, pH optima, and thermostability, they were typical laccases. The fractions of 'small' laccases of 45 kDa from S. crocea and 55 kDa from P. aphthosa consisted of two enzymes.

Phylogenetic classification of peltigeralean fungi (Peltigerales, Ascomycota) based on ribosomal RNA small and large subunits.
To provide a comprehensive molecular phylogeny for peltigeralean fungi and to establish a classification based on monophyly, phylogenetic analyses were carried out on sequences from the nuclear ribosomal large (LSU) and small (SSU) subunits obtained from 113 individuals that represent virtually all main lineages of ascomycetes. Analyses were also conducted on a subset of 77 individuals in which...

متن کاملCo-occurrence of the multicopper oxidases tyrosinase and laccase in lichens in sub-order peltigerineae.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Following previous findings of high extracellular redox activity in lichens and the presence of laccases in lichen cell walls, the work presented here additionally demonstrates the presence of tyrosinases. Tests were made for the presence of tyrosinases in 40 species of lichens, and from selected species their cellular location and molecular weights were determined. The effe...
متن کاملAntibacterial and Antifungal Activities of Different Lichens Extracts
Introduction: Natural products have been the most successful source of potential drug leads. One of them is lichens, which have been used since antiquity as natural sources of drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal activity of different extracts of the Iranian lichens in Ilam Province. Methods: The aqueous, acetone, and methanol extracts of 6 lichen spe...
متن کاملEstimating epiphytic lichen richness by single families in Mediterranean forests
The current trend of declining epiphytic richness caused by human activities (forest fragmentation, logging , agriculture, and livestock grazing) and the greater efforts required to sample and identify the most inconspicuous species have necessitated the use of indicators of the species richness. In this study, we examined the potential of predicting epiphytic lichen richness based on the richn...
