Fungal laccase discovered but yet undiscovered

چکیده
Laccases belongs to multinuclear copper-containing oxidase and can act on a variety of aromatic and non-aromatic compounds. Due to their broad substrate specificity, they are considered as a promising candidate in various industrial and biotechnological sectors. They are regarded as a “Green Tool”/“Green Catalyst” in biotechnology. The present review focuses on structure, reaction mechanism, categories, applications, economic feasibility, limitations, and future prospects of fungal laccases. Thus, this review would help in understanding laccases along with the areas, which has not been focused and requires attention. Since past, immense work has been carried out on laccases: yet, new discoveries and application are ever increasing which includes bio-fuel, bio-sensor, fiber board synthesis, bioremediation, clinical, textile industry, food, cosmetics, and many more. Hence, it can be stated that fungal laccase is an enzyme which is “discovered but yet undiscovered”.

Laccase‐catalysed oxidations of naturally occurring phenols: from in vivo biosynthetic pathways to green synthetic applications
Laccases are oxidases that contain several copper atoms, and catalyse single-electron oxidations of phenolic compounds with concomitant reduction of oxygen to water. The enzymes are particularly widespread in ligninolytic basidiomycetes, but also occur in certain prokaryotes, insects and plants. Depending on the species, laccases are involved in various biosynthetic processes contributing to ca...

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) are industrial and pharmaceutical pollutants, however some EDC’s (estrogens) are naturally synthesized by humans and animals. EDCs can reach waterways through wastewater facility effluent since many treatment plants are not yet capable of removing these pollutants. Research has shown that white rot fungi have the ability to break down wastewater contaminan...

BACKGROUND Fungal laccases are multicopper oxidases (MCOs) with high biotechnological potential due to their capability to oxidize a wide range of aromatic contaminants using oxygen from the air. Albeit the numerous laccase-like genes described in ascomycete fungi, ascomycete laccases have been less thoroughly studied than white-rot basidiomycetous laccases. A variety of MCO genes has recently ...

Background and Objectives: Laccase is the most abundant member of protein family that catalyzes the oxidation of substituted phenols. Laccases are used as biocatalysts for decolorization and bleaching in dye industries, detoxification in environment, and juice clarification in food industries. The present study aimed at producing recombinant laccase, purifying with high yield and fold, and char...

Fungal laccases are phenol oxidases widely studied for their use in several industrial applications, including pulp bleaching in paper industry, dye decolourisation, detoxification of environmental pollutants and revalorization of wastes and wastewaters. The main difficulty in using these enzymes at industrial scale ensues from their production costs. Elucidation of the components and the mecha...
