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

Ionic liquids (ILs) have now been acknowledged as reaction media for biotransformations.
The first three examples were reported in this field in 2000, and since then, numerous …

Enzymatic conversion of micropollutants into less-toxic derivatives is an important
bioremediation strategy. This paper aims to critically review the progress in water and …

Water pollution is one of the serious environmental problems threatening the sustainable
development of human civilization. Many phenolic compounds are hazardous, toxic …

Immobilized laccases are widely used as green biocatalysts for bioremediation of phenolic
pollutants and wastewater treatment. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show potential …

Water contamination by various recalcitrant organic aromatic compounds is an emerging
environmental issue that is increasingly attracting the attention of environmental scientists. A …

Organic micropollutants like pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides and
industrial chemicals have received an ever growing attention due to their adverse ecological …

Laccases are multi-copper oxidases and found in ligninolytic bacteria catalyzing the
oxidation of both phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, however its application in lignin …

Laccases are considered promising tools for removing synthetic dyes from textile and
tannery effluents. However, the alkaline pH in the effluents causes laccase instability …

Laccase was immobilized using a combinatorial strategy of cross-linking and entrapping in
mesoporous silica to prepare entrapped enzyme species including simply adsorbed …
