OVEREXPRESSED AND PURIFIED ASPERGILLUS FICUUM OXIDASE AND NUCLEIC ACID ENCODING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a new isolated nucleic acid sequence comprising a gene that encodes a new fungal oxidase enzyme, and nucleic acid fragments thereof. It also relates to said new fungal oxidase isolated and purified from Aspergillus ficuum, its amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO 40 or 41, and functional equivalents or derivatives thereof. The present invention also relates to constructs, vectors and hosts cells comprising a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, as well as methods for producing an oxidase of the invention. The present invention also relates to the use of an oxidase of the invention in industrial processes.
