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

Background Increased industrialization and urbanized civilization lead to the evolution of
several persisting hazardous pollutants. In order to degrade these tenacious pollutants in …

Herein, an effort has been made to highlight the trends of the state-of-the-art of laccase-
assisted degradation of emerging contaminants at large and endocrine disruptors in …

Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass available on earth, including wood and
agricultural wastes such as rice straw, corn cobs, and oil palm empty bunches. The …

plastics like polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene terephthalate …

Enzymatic catalysis is one of the main pillars of sustainability for industrial production.
Enzyme application allows minimization of the use of toxic solvents and to valorize the agro …

White-rot fungi secrete an impressive repertoire of high-redox potential laccases (HRPLs)
and peroxidases for efficient oxidation and utilization of lignin. Laccases are attractive …

Engineering of fungal laccases with optimum catalytic activity at alkaline pH has been a long-
lasting challenge. In this study, a mutant library containing 3000 clones was obtained by …

Novel laccases have promising and valuable applications in biorefineries. This investigation
documents, for the first time, the potential of depolymerising and repolymerising lignin by the …
