title: Hydroxamate iron complex with phenoloxidase activity acting on lignin and chlorolignins.
abstract: The properties of a siderophore model, acetohydroxamic acid (AHA), of desferral were studied. The pH, ionic strength, and AHA/Fe(III) ratios for o-dianisidine oxidation were optimized. Phenoloxidase activity of hydroxamates/Fe(III) acting on o-dianisidine at pH 7.0 and pH 3.0 was observed. Under these conditions, AHA was able to reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II) followed by ferrozine complexation. AHA/Fe(III) complex degraded lignin and chlorolignins from kraft effluent E1 65% and 85%, respectively, after 24 h.
