The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having peroxygenase activity, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.

The invention relates to enzymatic methods for hydroxylation in position 2 or 3 of substituted or unsubstituted, linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbons.

The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having peroxygenase activity, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides. A polynucleotide encoding a peroxygenase was isolated from Daldinia caldariorum.

The invention relates to a recombinant Marasmius rotula unspecific peroxygenase (rMroURO) and two mutants thereof, wherein said mutants show enhanced selectivity towards either the epoxidation or the (sub)terminal /(-1)-hydroxylation of unsaturated fatty acids. The invention also refers to the use of these enzyme variants for the specific epoxidation or hydroxylation of fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid and/or alpha-linolenic acid.

The invention relates to polypeptides having peroxygenase activity and compositions comprising such polypeptides. The invention also relates to improved methods of producing such polypeptides in yeasts.

The present disclosure features a method of modulating production of a small halogenated organic compound with a peroxidase enzyme, and related compositions and methods of use thereof.

A process for enhancing biodegradability of polyolefinic materials is provided. The process includes providing a polyolefinic material, mixing the polyolefinic material with at least one fatty reagent, heating up the polyolefinic material mixed with the at least one fatty reagent to the melting temperature of the polyolefinic material to obtain a melted material, letting the melted material cool at room temperature for a time sufficient to obtain a solidified product, and incubating the solidified product with at least one fungal mycelium selected from fungal strains secreting Unspecific Peroxygenases (UPO), in presence of a fungal culture medium.
