NOVEL ENZYME HAVING DECOLORING ACTIVITY AND METHOD FOR DECOLORING DYES BY USING THE SAME

摘要

A novel peroxidase having a high dye-decomposition activity; its genetic information; and a method for decomposing and decoloring dyes by using the same. Thus, various dyes over a broad range can be efficiently decomposed and decolored without causing problems such as secondary contamination due to the formation of toxic by-products and discharge of greenhouse gas in association with the consumption of much energy. The above-described enzyme can be supplied in a large amount on the basis of its genetic information, which makes it possible to utilize the enzyme in, for example, treating waste dye solutions in the field of dyeing industry, etc.
