Purification and Properties of Pyridine Nucleotide-Independent l-Lactate Dehydrogenase from Polyporus circinatus

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Cell extracts of Polyporus circinatus grown on lactate catalyze the reduction of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol by l-lactate without the participation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. The enzyme has been purified 78-fold and was homogenous by disc gel electrophoresis. The optimal pH was found to be 6.7. The Michaelis constant for l-lactate was 5.9 × 10−4 M and the oxalate inhibition constant was 1.5 × 10−4 M. The nature of the prosthetic group is discussed.
