Purification and partial characterisation of a 60 KDa laccase from <I>Fomitiporia mediterranea</I>

A 60-kDa extra-cellular laccase enzyme was purified to homogeneity from a liquid culture of Fomitiporia mediterranea, the main wood rot agent of the grapevine disease esca. The enzyme exhibited thermal stability. Substrate specificity and inhibitor studies indicated that the enzyme was a typical fun...
