Lactate oxidase process for the manufacture thereof and analytical method and kit for the use of the same

摘要

Novel enzyme lactate oxidase can be produced by culturing Pediococcus sp. B-0667, Streptococcus sp. B-0668, Aerococcus viridans IFO-12219 or Aerococcus viridans IFO-12317. It is useful for analysis for L-lactic acid, because it catalyzes the reaction of L-lactic acid and oxygen to form pyruvic acid and hydrogen peroxide. A kit containing the various reagents for such analysis is also provided by this invention.
