Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) were classified as a new family of heme peroxidase in 2007. Produced by various bacteria, they are the first bacterial enzymes known able to degrade lignin and dyes, for which their application in waste treatment and pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass could be envisaged. In this work, a PCR primer pair was created and tested that enabled the detection and quantification of a wide range of bacterial genes of P class DyP in complex matrices. In addition, a phylogenetic tree was built with all available sequences of DyP genes available, offering a first overview of their presence in the bacteria kingdom.
