Modern biorefinery concepts focus on lignocellulosic biomass as a feedstock for the
production of next generation biofuels and platform chemicals. Lignocellulose is a …

Laccases are phenol oxidases belonging to the superfamily of multicopper oxidases and are
found in bacteria, fungi, lichens, higher plants, and insects. Over the past few decades …

The use of the laccase enzyme from the fungus Trametes versicolor, coupled with the
mediator 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1-HBT) has been shown to be effective for the biocatalytic …

Laccases couple the oxidation of phenolic compounds to the reduction of molecular oxygen
and thus span a wide variety of applications. While laccases of eukaryotes and bacteria are …

Carbamazepine (CBZ) is one of the most detected pharmaceutical compounds around the
world, with adverse human and animal health impacts in wastewater effluents. Recently …

Laccase oxidises the phenolic but not the non-phenolic subunits of lignin. Redox mediators
drive laccase towards the oxidation of non-phenolic subunits, particularly the benzyl alcohol …

The literature concerning the oxidative oligomerization and polymerization of various
arylamines, eg, aniline, substituted anilines, aminonaphthalene and its derivatives …

The sulfonephthalein indicator, phenol red, exhibits an unusually slow rate of oxidation by
laccase from Poliporus pinsitus, in spite of the fact that it is a phenol and therefore a natural …

Steric and redox issues of phenolic and non-phenolic substrates are investigated for a better
insight of the reactivity features of the phenoloxidase laccase. Whenever a substrate is …

An efficient methodology to oxidize β, β-dihalogenated secondary alcohols employing
oxygen was achieved in a biphasic medium using the laccase from Trametes …
