Abstract

In this study, selenium (Se) induction of the ligninolytic enzyme manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) production, and the effects on the oxidative state in the white-rot fungus Bjerkandera adusta (Willdenow) P. Karsten were demonstrated. Low concentration of Se (0.5 mM) caused up to a twofold increase in MnP production (0.81 ± 0.05 U/ml) when compared to control (0.39 ± 0.07 U/ml), whereas higher concentrations of Se (200 mM) inhibited (0.03 ± 0.01 U/ml) MnP production. Addition of high concentration of Se also caused up to a twofold increase in lipid peroxidation levels. These results demonstrate for the first time that Se may induce or reduce MnP production and lipid peroxidation levels which play a significant role in lignin degradation by white-rot fungi.
