Discovered in 1883, laccase is one of the first enzymes ever described. Now, after almost
140 years of research, it seems that this copper-containing protein with a number of unique …

The global rise in urbanization and industrial activity has led to the production and
incorporation of foreign contaminant molecules into ecosystems, distorting them and …

Lignin forms a large part of plant biomass. It is a highly heterogeneous polymer of 4-
hydroxyphenylpropanoid units and is embedded within polysaccharide polymers forming …

Laccases are a family of copper-containing oxidases with important applications in
bioremediation and other various industrial and biotechnological areas. There have been …

Enzymatic plastic conversion has emerged recently as a potential adjunct and alternative to

Multicopper 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 …

Laccase has the enormous potential to be implemented as the multitasking biocatalyst in
whole process of paper making. The enzyme can utilize effectively for pulping …

Laccase is essential for the biodepolymerization of lignin, but the challenge is that the
reaction mechanism has not been fully elucidated. The laccase (Lacc) inactivated mutant of …

In the present study, the CotA protein from Bacillus licheniformis ANSB821 was cloned and
expressed in Escherichia coli. Apart from the laccase activities, we found that the …

Malachite green (MG) is used as fungicide/parasiticide in aquaculture, its persistence is
detrimental as it exhibits carcinogenic effects to aquatic organisms. Bacterial laccase …
