Phlebia radiata strain BP-12-2, isolated from forest soil, decolorized fungal melanin and produced an extracellular laccase in culture. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity and characterized. It showed no absorption bands in the ultraviolet above 300 nm or visible regions. It differed from the reported laccases in substrate specificity, kinetic parameters, and NH2-terminal amino acid sequences.
