Plant/fungal/bacterial peroxidases. Haem-containing peroxidases from plants, fungi and bacteria are structurally related and form a superfamily. All enzymes so far studied have mechanisms of the type illustrated in Fig. 2. They fall into three diverse classes [23,24], Class I are found in prokaryotes and some eukaryotic organelles. The best-characterised of these enzymes... 

The peroxidase field was reviewed in depth in two volumes published in 1991 (11). Enzymes belonging to the superfamily of plant, fungal, and bacterial peroxidases were reviewed in Volume II and additionally in two other texts (12,13). General reviews on heme peroxidases since 1992 include those published by Poulos and Fenna (14) and Poulos (15), which highlight structural comparisons and potential biotechnological applications of peroxidases, respectively. One of the present authors also surveyed the heme peroxidase literature in a review published in...

Extracellular bacterial peroxidases and H2O2 oxygenases have been evidenced in the biotransformation studies and this process may lead to further carboxyla-tion of the polymer matrix on exposure to soil microorganisms. Most of the studies in the biodegradation of polymers have primarily been concerned with the...
