Discovered in 1883, laccase is one of the first enzymes ever described. Now, after almost
140 years of research, it seems that this copper-containing protein with a number of unique …

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is the most abundantly available bioresource amounting to
about a global yield of up to 1. 3 billion tons per year. The hydrolysis of LCB results in the …

Potential green energy systems can be explored using competent waste lignocellulosic (LC)
biomass transformation to energy, a promising and sustainable substitute for energy …

Lignin is a complex phenylpropanoid biopolymer conferring mechanical strength to plant
cell walls. Biorefineries, along with pulp and paper industry, generate large quantities of …

Modification of lignin is recognized as an important aspect of the successful refining of
lignocellulosic biomass, and enzyme-assisted processing and upcycling of lignin is …

Laccases are a class of multicopper oxidases that catalyse the one-electron oxidation of four
equivalents of a reducing substrate, with the concomitant four-electron reduction of dioxygen …

The projection of world population growth with concurrent generation of large volumes of
agro-industrial waste that negatively affect the environment is of great concern. Therefore …

Background Wheat straw, the most abundant lignocellulosic biomass in China, is rich in
cellulose that can be hydrolyzed and then converted into biofuels, such as bioethanol and …

The aim of this review is to determine the trends of state-of-art of laccase sources, properties,
structure and recent application of fungal laccase in various fields. Laccases are …

Plastic pollution is one of the most impactful human interferences in our planet.
Fragmentation of plastic leads to nano-and microplastics (NP/MP) formation, which …
