An analysis of the scientific literature published in the last 10 years reveals a constant
growth of laccase applicative research in several industrial fields followed by the publication …

Natural water sources are very often contaminated by municipal wastewater discharges
which contain either of xenobiotic pollutants and their sometimes more toxic degradation …

There is a high number of well characterized, commercially available laccases with different
redox potentials and low substrate specificity, which in turn makes them attractive for a vast …

The application of enzymes offers an enormous potential in the improvement of existing
industrial procedures and in the establishment of new processes for obtaining high-added …

Plants are a reservoir of phytochemicals, which are known to possess several beneficial
health properties. Along with all the secondary metabolites, polyphenols have emerged as …

Lignin modifying enzymes (LMEs) have gained widespread recognition in depolymerization
of lignin polymers by oxidative cleavage. LMEs are a robust class of biocatalysts that include …

Laccases are multi-copper oxidases that oxidize a broad range of substrates at the expense
of molecular oxygen, without any need for co-factor regeneration. These enzymes bear high …

Chemical halogenation is an important transformation in organic synthesis. Halogenations
involve the use of reactive and toxic halogens (X 2) or hydrogen halides (HX). Chemical …

Phenolic acids are abundant biomass feedstock that can be derived from the processing of
lignin or other byproducts from agro‐industrial waste. Although phenolic acids such as p …

Laccases have been predominantly reported in fungi, and primarily, fungal laccases are
currently exploited in industrial applications. However, extremophilic bacterial laccases …
