Abstract
Many physiologically active, halogenated compounds have been found in marine algae. Haloperoxidases, which catalyze the following halogenating reaction: AH + X- + H2O2 + H+ → AX + 2H2O (AH=nucleophilic substrate, X=Cl, Br, I), are known to be involved in the biosynthesis of these halometabolites. Recently marine biotechnology is increasingly attracting very much attention from the viewpoints of both applied and basic sciences. Therefore, we have studied the distribution of haloperoxidases in marine macro-algae, the purification and characterization of bromoperoxidase from a red alga, Corallina pilulifera.
