Veratryl alcohol is a secondary metabolite to act as a substrate and a stabilizer of the lignin peroxidase (Cancel et al. 1993). O2 purge is required for optimal lignin degradation culture condition (Kirk and Farrell 1987). Without the veratryl alcohol and/or O2 purge, the enzyme activities were greatly decreased and destabilized but not completely repressed in this strain.
