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
Processing of Botrytis cinerea-infected grapes leads to enhanced enzymatic browning reactions mainly caused by the enzyme laccase which is able to oxidize a wide range of phenolic compounds. The extent of color deterioration depends on the activity of the enzymes secreted by the fungus. The present
A heterogeneous bead-shaped biocatalyst was prepared by assembling co-immobilization of encapsulating mediator 2,2'-Azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) into the functionalized calcium alginate composite beads by grafting glycidyl methacrylate and dopamine and then immobilizing
To obtain laccase-gene-specific sequences from the white-rot fungus Trametes sanguinea M85-2, a PCR screening method was used. Degenerate primers were designed based on highly conserved copper-binding regions I and IV of known laccases and used to amplify laccase sequences from T. sanguinea M85-2
The diversity of ascomycete laccase sequences was surveyed in a southeastern US salt marsh using a degenerate primer set designed around copper binding sites conserved in fungal laccases. This gene was targeted for diversity analysis because of its potential function in lignin degradation in the
The oxidizing enzyme laccase produced by many fungi is generally considered to be active in the biodegradation of lignin, a major plant cell wall component highly resistant to microbial attack. The enzyme is secreted at high levels by the P-type of the highly aggressive pathogen Heterobasidion
Pleurotus tuoliensis is a popular edible and medical mushroom, but it is highly perishable during postharvest storage. The quality parameters, chemical composition, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, and activity of metabolic enzymes were studied during 12 days of storage at 4 °C and 6 days of
A new laccase gene (lacC) was cloned from the genomic DNA isolated from Trametes sp. 420, a new laccase-producing fungus, using the degenerate primers based on the conserved copper-binding regions in fungal laccases. Long distance-inverse PCR (LD-IPCR) was used to amplify the flanking sequences of
Fungus-growing termites efficiently decompose plant litter through their symbiotic relationship with basidiomycete fungi of the genus Termitomyces. Here, we investigated phenol-oxidizing enzymes in symbiotic fungi and fungus combs (a substrate used to cultivate symbiotic fungi) from termites
Activated sludge is an artificial ecosystem known to harbor complex microbial communities. Bacterial diversity in activated sludge from pulp and paper industry was studied to bioprospect for laccase, the multicopper oxidase applicable in a large number of industries due to its ability to utilize a
We have isolated a laccase (lac1) from culture fluid of Volvariella volvacea, grown in a defined medium containing 150 micro m CuSO4, by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Lac1 has a molecular mass of 58 kDa as determined by SDS/PAGE and an isoelectric point of 3.7. Degenerate primers
Degenerate primers corresponding to the consensus sequences of the copper-binding regions in the N-terminal domains of known basidiomycete laccases were used to isolate laccase gene-specific sequences from strains representing nine genera of wood rot fungi. All except three gave the expected PCR
Epitheaflagallin 3-O-gallate (ETFGg) is a minor polyphenol found in black tea extract, which has good physiological functions. It is synthesized from epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) with gallic acid via laccase oxidation. Various basidiomycetes and fungi were screened to find a suitable laccase for
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of chemicals. They represent an important concern due to their widespread distribution in the environment, their resistance to biodegradation, their potential to bioaccumulate and their harmful effects. Several pilot treatments have been
The impact of dispersed crude oil and dispersant on adult Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, was evaluated through an integrative biomarker approach including (1) biochemical (plasma catecholase- and laccase-type phenoloxidase and superoxide dismutase), (2) histological (digestive cell lysosomal
