[et al.] - Decolourisation of Remazol Brilliant Blue R via a novel Bjerkandera sp. strain. Journal of Biotechnology. ISSN 0168-1656. Vol. 89, n.º 2-3 (2001), p. 107-111http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/6838A novel strain of Bjerkandera sp. (B33/3), with particularly high decolourisation activities upon Poly R-478 and Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) dyes, was isolated. The role of the ligninolytic extracellular enzymes produced by this strain on decolourisation of RBBR was studied in some depth. The basis of decolourisation is an enzyme-mediated process, in which the main enzyme responsible is a recently described peroxidase with capacity for oxidation of manganese, as well as veratryl alcohol and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol in a manganese-independent reaction.engBjerkandera sp.Remazol brilliant blue RDyesjournal article10.1016/S0168-1656(01)00320-0
