Laccases are blue multicopper oxidases that oxidize a wide range of phenolic as well as non-phenolic substrates in the presence or absence of mediators. They occur in various species of bacteria, fungi, insects, and plants; bacterial laccases show high substrate specificity. Bacteria produce these...
Bacterial laccases: promising biological green tools for industrial applicationsMulticopper oxidases (MCOs) are a pervasive family of enzymes that oxidize a wide range of phenolic and nonphenolic aromatic substrates, concomitantly with the reduction of dioxygen to water. MCOs......
The natural functions of laccases include the degradation and biosynthesis of lignin [117]. They have great relevance as models for structure/function relationships and as sustainable tools for industrial processes, demonstrating many applications in the food (brewing, color enhancement in tea, cork mod...

Marine environmental isolated microorganisms produce hydrolytic and nonhydrolytic enzymes. These ...
Current commercial use of industrial enzymes, together with new applications, results in significant savings in resources such as raw materials andwater consumption, as well as the improvement of energy efficacy for the benefit of both the industry in question and the environment. This will continue...
step. Immobilization helps strengthen and stabilize the protein structure of laccase, thus enhancing its functional properties. Additionally, the reusability of immobilized laccase makes it an attractive alternative to traditional dye degradation technologies and in the realistic applications of water treatment...
Due to the large size of laccases and the highly complex structure of lignin, in most cases it cannot be degraded directly, requiring the presence of intermediate substrates (i.e. chemical mediators), which oxidized radicals are able to induce the depolymerization of ...

Mushrooms reduce agricultural solid wastes, are highly efficient in bioremediation and have many medicinal applications5,6,7...
The group of copper oxidoreductases also includes other H2O2 generating enzymes - copper-radical oxidases - together with classical laccases that are the oxidoreductases with the largest number of reported applications to date. However, the recently described lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases have ...
In the textile industry, cellulases, proteases, and laccases are used for biopolishing and desizing, enhancing the quality and appearance of fabrics [32]. In the detergent and leather industries, proteases and lipases improve cleaning efficiency and leather processing outcomes [33]. Laccases are ...
