  • Title: Detection of a new chloroperoxidase in Pseudomonas pyrrocinia.
    Author: Wiesner W, van Pee KH, Lingens F.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1986 Dec 15; 209(2):321-4. PubMed ID: 3792552.
    Abstract:
    A new chloroperoxidase could be detected in Pseudomonas pyrrocinia ATCC 15,958, a bacterium that produces the antifungal antibiotic pyrrolnitrin. This enzyme was separated from a ferriprotoporphyrin IX containing bromoperoxidase which was also produced by this bacterium. The enzyme is capable of catalyzing the chorination of indole to 7-chloroindole. This procaryotic chloroperoxidase requires the presence of H2O2 and can also brominate monochlorodimedone, but cannot catalyze its chlorination. This enzyme is the first chloroperoxidase described from procaryotic sources.
