Highly Active and Stable Large Catalase Isolated from a Hydrocarbon Degrading Aspergillus terreus MTCC 6324

Scheme 1

A schematic representation of metabolic machinery involved in hydrocarbon utilisation inside the cells of A. terreus that produces high level of H₂O₂ as byproduct which is then neutralised by CAT. CYP: cytochrome P450 monoxygenase and AOx: alcohol oxidase. (diagram not to scale).
