Studies on peroxidase production and detection of Sporotrichum thermophile-like catalase-peroxidase gene in a B acillus species isolated from Hogsback forest reserve, South Africa.This study sought to determine the process conditions for optimum peroxidase production by a B acillus species (Bacillus sp. FALADE-1-KX640922) isolated from Hogsback forest reserve in South Africa and characterize the peroxidase gene in the bacteria.  Interestingly, a search of the sequenced gene in PeroxiBase showed 100% similarity to Sporotrichum thermophile catalase-peroxidase gene (katG), as well, the deduced protein sequence clustered with bacterial catalase-peroxidases and had a molecular weight of about 11.45 kDa with 7.01 as the estimated isoelectric point.
