Abstract excerpt
Laccases are blue multicopper oxidases that couple the four-electron reduction of oxygen with the oxidation of a broad range of aromatic substrates. These fungal enzymes can be used for many applications such as bleaching, organic synthesis, bioremediation, and in laundry detergents. Laccases from Pleurotus ostreatus have been successfully heterologously expressed in yeasts. The availability of established...
