Recombinant Expression and Characterization of Lemon (Citrus limon) Peroxidase.

Background: Class III plant peroxidases play important role in a number of physiological processes in plants such as lignin biosynthesis, suberization, cell wall biosynthesis, reactive oxygen species metabolism and plant defense against pathogens. Peroxidases are also of significance in several industrial applications. In view of this, the production and identification of novel peroxidases having resistance towards temperature, pH, salts is desirable.
