Novel haloperoxidase from the agaric basidiomycete Agrocybe aegerita oxidizes aryl alcohols and aldehydes
Article Abstract:
A novel type of peroxidase from the basidiomycetous fungus Agrocybe aegerita, a common edible mushroom in Mediterranean countries, which oxidizes aryl alcohols and aldehydes at neutral pH and shows haloperoxidase activity is described. The existence of haloperoxidases in basidiomycetous fungi is significant for the natural formation of chlorinated organic compounds in forest soils.

Characterization of bioluminescent derivatives of assimilable organic carbon test bacteria
Article Abstract:
Assimilable organic carbon (AOC) test is a standard measure to check the bacterial growth potential in treated water, design development details on AOC assay which was bioluminescent derivatives of AOC test bacteria were studied. It was found that bioluminescence method could be adapted to automation with microplate format and programmable reagent injection.

Microbiosensors for measurement of microbially available dissolved organic carbon: Sensor characteristics and preliminary environmental application
Article Abstract:
A description of the microbial respiration-based microbiosensors used for quantification of available dissolved organic carbon (ADOC) instantaneously respired by microorganisms is presented. Molecular investigations have shown that the bacterial strain used is mot closely relatred to Staphylococcus warneri.
