Abstract
Broad-spectrum biocatalysts enzymes, Laccases, have been implicated in the complete degradation of harmful pollutants into less-toxic compounds. In this study, two extracellularly produced Laccases were purified to homogeneity from two different Ascomycetes spp. Trichoderma lixii FLU1 (TlFLU1) and Talaromyces pinophilus FLU12 (TpFLU12). The purified enzymes are monomeric units, with a molecular mass of 44 kDa and 68.7 kDa for TlFLU1 and TpFLU12, respectively, on SDS-PAGE and zymogram. It reveals distinct properties beyond classic protein absorption at 270-280 nm, with TlFLU1's peak at 270 nm aligning with this typical range of type II Cu site (white Laccase), while TpFLU12's unique 600 nm peak signifies a type I Cu2+ site (blue Laccase), highlighting the diverse spectral fingerprints within the Laccase family. The Km and kcat values revealed that ABTS is the most suitable substrate as compared to 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, caffeic acid and guaiacol for both Laccases. The bioinformatics analysis revealed critical His, Ile, and Arg residues for copper binding at active sites, deviating from the traditional two His and a Cys motif in some Laccases. The predicted biological functions of the Laccases include oxidation-reduction, lignin metabolism, cellular metal ion homeostasis, phenylpropanoid catabolism, aromatic compound metabolism, cellulose metabolism, and biological adhesion. Additionally, investigation of degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by purified Laccases show significant reductions in residual concentrations of fluoranthene and anthracene after a 96-h incubation period. TlFLU1 Laccase achieved 39.0% and 44.9% transformation of fluoranthene and anthracene, respectively, while TpFLU12 Laccase achieved 47.2% and 50.0% transformation, respectively. The enzyme structure-function relationship study provided insights into the catalytic mechanism of these Laccases for possible biotechnological and industrial applications.

Abstract
The addition of exogenous endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) like estrone, in the food chain through the aquatic system, disrupts steroid biosynthesis and metabolism by altering either the genomic or non-genomic pathway that eventually results in various diseases. Thus, bioremediation of these compounds is urgently required to prevent their addition and persistence in the environment. Enzymatic degradation has proven to be a knight in shining armour as it is safe and generates no toxic products. The multicopper oxidases (E.C. 1.10.3.2 benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase), laccase with the potential to degrade both phenolic and non-phenolic substrates has recently gained attention. In this study, the laccase was purified, characterized, and used to study estrone degradation. The culture filtrate (crude laccase) was concentrated and precipitated using cold-acetone and dialyzed against tris buffer (50 mM) giving a four-fold partially purified form, with 45.56% yield and 204.14 U/mg as specific activity and a single peak at 250-300 nm. The partially purified laccase was approximately 80 kDa as estimated by SDS-PAGE preferred ABTS as substrate. Both crude and partially purified laccase showed maximum activity at pH 3.0, 40 °C, and 4 mM ABTS. Kinetic constants (Km, Vmax) of crude and partially purified laccase were found to be 0.83 mM; 494.31 mM/min, and 0.58 mM; 480.54 mM/min respectively. Iron sulphate and sodium azide inhibited laccase maximally. Crude and partially purified laccase degradation efficiency was 87.55 and 91.35% respectively. Spirulina CPCC-695 laccase with efficient estrone degradation ability renders them promising candidates for EDCs bioremediation.

Abstract
Lentinus tigrinus SSB_W2, isolated from Mahabaleshwar in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India, was employed to enhance laccase production in solid-state fermentation (SSF). The spectral analysis indicated that the laccase produced by L. tigrinus is a typical yellow laccase, exhibiting no absorption at 600 nm. Notably, this yellow laccase demonstrated exceptional catalytic activity, as confirmed by electrochemical analysis. Four agricultural processing wastes were evaluated as substrates for SSF, and the results showed that L. tigrinus effectively utilized wheat bran. Initial testing by one-factor-at-a-time method showed 3.79-fold increase in yellow laccase production, which subsequently increased to 6.51-fold after Plackett-Burman design. Moreover, employing response surface methodology resulted in 11.87-fold increase (108,472 IU gds-1) in laccase production. The utilization of yellow laccase for the biotransformation of various textile dyes was investigated, and it exhibited the highest degradation efficiency toward Reactive blue 4, a recalcitrant anthraquinone dye, with a rate of 18.36 mg L-1 h-1, for an initial concentration of 1000 mg L-1.

The Laccase of Myrothecium roridum VKM F-3565: A New Look at Fungal Laccase Tolerance to Neutral and Alkaline Conditions. Chembiochem 2023; 24:e202200600. [PMID: 36513608 DOI: 10.1002/cbic.202200600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Most of the currently known fungal laccases show their maximum activity under acidic environmental conditions. It is known that a decrease in the activity of a typical laccase at neutral or alkaline pH values is the result of an increase in the binding of the hydroxide anion to the T2/T3 copper center, which prevents the transfer of an electron from the T1 Cu to the trinuclear copper center. However, evolutionary pressure has resolved the existing limitations in the catalytic mechanism of laccase, allowing such enzymes to be functionally active under neutral/alkaline pH conditions, thereby giving fungi an advantage for their survival. Combined molecular and biochemical studies, homological modeling, calculation of the electrostatic potential on the Connolly surface at pH 5.0 and 7.0, and structural analysis of the novel alkaliphilic laccase of Myrothecium roridum VKM F-3565 and alkaliphilic and acidophilic fungal laccases with a known structure allowed a new intramolecular channel near the one of the catalytic aspartate residues at T2-copper atom to be found. The amino acid residues of alkaliphilic laccases forming this channel can presumably serve as proton donors for catalytic aspartates under neutral conditions, thus ensuring proper functioning. For the first time for ascomycetous laccases, the production of new trimeric products of phenylpropanoid condensation under neutral conditions has been shown, which could have a potential for use in pharmacology.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is an energy source that has a huge impact in today's world. The depletion of fossil fuels, increased pollution, climatic changes, etc. have led the public and private sectors to move towards sustainability i.e. using LCB for the production of biofuels and value-added compounds. A major bottleneck of the process is the recalcitrant nature of LCB. This can be overcome by using various pretreatment strategies like physical, chemical, biological, physicochemical, etc. Further, the pretreated biomass is made to undergo various steps like hydrolysis, saccharification, etc. for the conversion of value-added products and the remaining waste residues can be further utilized for the synthesis of secondary products thus favouring the zero-waste biorefinery concept. Currently, microorganisms are being explored for their use in biorefinery but the unavailability of commercial strains is a major limitation. Thus, the use of metagenomics can be used to overcome the limitation which is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The review deliberates the composition of LCBs, and their recalcitrance nature, followed by the structural changes caused by various pretreatment methods. The further steps in biorefineries, strategies for the development of zero-waste refineries, bottlenecks, and suggestions are also discussed. Special emphasis is given to the use of metagenomics for the discovery of microorganisms efficient for zero-waste biorefineries.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 309:119729.

Abstract
The treatment of contaminants from lignocellulosic biorefinery effluent has recently been identified as a unique challenge. This study focuses on removing phenolic contaminants and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from lignocellulosic biorefinery wastewater (BRW) applying a laccase-assisted approach. Cassava waste was used as a substrate to produce the maximum yield of laccase enzyme (3.9 U/g) from Pleurotus ostreatus. Among the different inducers supplemented, CuSO4 (0.5 mM) showed an eight-fold increase in enzyme production (30.8 U/g) after 240 h of incubation. The catalytic efficiency of laccase was observed as 128.7 ± 8.47 S-1mM-1 for syringaldazine oxidation at optimum pH 4.0 and 40 °C. Laccase activity was completely inhibited by lead (II) ion, mercury (II) ion, sodium dodecyl sulphate, sodium azide and 1,4 dithiothretiol and induced significantly by manganese (II) ion and rhamnolipid. After treating BRW with laccase, the concentrations of PAHs and phenolic contaminants of 1144 μg/L and 46160 μg/L were reduced to 96 μg/L and 16100 μg/L, respectively. The ability of laccase to effectively degrade PAHs in the presence of different phenolic compounds implies that phenolic contaminants may play a role in PAHs degradation. After 240 h, organic contaminants were removed from BRW in the following order: phenol >2,4-dinitrophenol > 2-methyl-4,6-dinitrophenol > 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol > acenaphthene > fluorine > phenanthrene > fluoranthene > pyrene > anthracene > chrysene > naphthalene > benzo(a)anthracene > benzo(a)pyrene > benzo(b)fluoranthene > pentachlorophenol > indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene > benzo(j) fluoranthene > benzo[k]fluoranthène. The multiple contaminant remediation from the BRW by enzymatic method, clearly suggests that the laccase can be used as a bioremediation tool for the treatment of wastewater from various industries.

Abstract
Herein, a novel laccase gene, Melac13220, was amplified from Methylobacterium extorquens and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli with a molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa. The purified Melac13220 had no absorption peak at 610 nm and remained silent within electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, suggesting that Melac13220 belongs to the non-blue laccase group. Both inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy/optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) indicated that one molecule of Melac13220 can interact with two iron ions. Furthermore, the optimal temperature of Melac13220 was 65 °C. It also showed a high thermolability, and its half-life at 65 °C was 80 min. Melac13220 showed a very good acid environment tolerance; its optimal pH was 1.5. Cu2+ and Co2+ can slightly increase enzyme activity, whereas Fe2+ could increase Melac13220′s activity five-fold. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that Fe2+ could also stabilize Melac13220. Unlike most laccases, Melac13220 can efficiently decolorize Congo Red and Indigo Carmine dyes even in the absence of a redox mediator. Thus, the non-blue laccase from Methylobacterium extorquens shows potential application value and may be valuable for environmental protection, especially in the degradation of dyes at low pH.

Abstract
Chlorophenols are widely used in industry and are known environmental pollutants. The degradation of chlorophenols is important for environmental remediation. In this study, we evaluated the biodegradation of 2-chlorophenol using crude laccase produced by Myrothecium verrucaria. Atmospheric and room temperature plasma technology was used to increase laccase production. The culture conditions of the M-6 mutant were optimized. Our results showed that corn stover could replace glucose as a carbon source and promote laccase production. The maximum laccase activity of 30.08 U/mL was achieved after optimization, which was a 19.04-fold increase. The biodegradation rate of 2-chlorophenol using crude laccase was 97.13%, a positive correlation was determined between laccase activity and degradation rate. The toxicity of 2-CP was substantially reduced after degradation by laccase solution. Our findings show the feasibility of the use of corn stover in laccase production by M. verrucaria mutant and the subsequent biodegradation of 2-chlorophenol using crude laccase.

Abstract
Endo-β-mannanases are important enzymes for degrading lignocellulosic biomass to generate mannan, which has significant health effects as a prebiotic that promotes the development of gut microbiota. Here, a novel endo-β-mannanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 113 from Paenibacillus cineris (PcMan113) was cloned, expressed and characterized, as one of only a few reported GH113 family β-mannanases. Compared to other functionally and structurally characterized GH113 mannanases, recombinant PcMan113 showed a broader substrate spectrum and a better performance. Based on a structural homology model, the highly active mutant PcMT3 (F110E/N246Y) was obtained, with 4.60- and 5.53-fold increases of enzyme activity (towards KG) and catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km, against M5) compared with the WT enzyme, respectively. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to precisely explore the differences of catalytic activity between WT and PcMT3, which revealed that PcMT3 has a less flexible conformation, as well as an enlarged substrate-binding channel with decreased steric hindrance and increased binding energy in substrate recognition. In conclusion, we obtained a highly active variant of PcMan113 with potential for commercial application in the manufacture of manno-oligosaccharides.

Co-substrate-mediated utilization of high concentration of phenol by Aspergillus niger FP7 and reduction of its phytotoxicity on Vigna radiata L.

Abstract
Phenol and its derivatives behave as mutagens, teratogens and carcinogens inducing adverse physiological effects and are considered environmental hazards. The present study focuses on high concentration phenol utilization by Aspergillus niger FP7 under various physicochemical parameters. The soil remediation potential of the culture for reducing phenol toxicity against Vigna radiata L. seed germination was also evaluated along with the extent of phenol utilization using high-performance liquid chromatography. Aspergillus niger FP7 showed phenol tolerance up to 1000 mg/l, beyond which there was a sharp reduction in phenol utilization. Supplementation of the mineral salt medium with glucose and peptone and application of a 100 rpm agitation rate enhanced phenol utilization (up to 88.3%). Phenol utilization efficiency decreased (up to 29.6%) when cadmium and mercury salts were present, but the same improved (59.4-75.5%) by the incorporation of cobalt, copper and zinc salts. Vigna radiata L. seeds sown in the non-augmented soil revealed a 3.27% germination index, and with fungal augmentation, the germination index improved (97.3%). The non-augmented soil demonstrated 3.1% phenol utilization, while for the augmented soil, the utilization was 79.3%. Based on the phytotoxicity study and chromatographic analysis, it could be inferred that Aspergillus niger FP7 significantly enhanced phenol utilization in soil. In the future, Aspergillus niger FP7 could be of potential use in bioremediation of sites polluted with high concentrations of phenol.

Abstract
Biodegradation of environmentally hazardous synthetic dyes by enzymes has been achieved the highest interest in recent years. In this work, we optimized Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) dye biodegradation by Arthrographis kalrae derived laccase via the Box-Behnken design (BBD) approach of the surface response methodology (RSM). Optimization of dye decolourisation by one variable at a time (OVAT) approach resulted in optimal dye decolourisation at laccase dose (2 IU mL-1), pH (7.0), temperature (35 °C), incubation time (240 min), and initial dye concentration (100 mg L-1). The optimized process through BBD enhanced dye decolourisation (97.18%). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and UV-Visible Spectrophotometry have proven biodegradation. In addition, in comparison to untreated samples, the laccase-treated dye sample showed relatively less phyto- and cytotoxic effect on Allium cepa L. Extra Precision Glide docking exhibited the binding affinity score of -5.355 kcal mol-1, between laccase-RBBR complex.

Abstract
The fungal genus Myrothecium was once polyphyletic but a recent reconsideration of the family Stachybotryaceae spilt it into several genera. The ex-neotype specimen of the species Myrothecium verrucaria is now recognized as Albifimbria verrucaria. The well-studied plant pathogen and candidate bioherbicide CABI-IMI 368023, previously identified as M. verrucaria, was analyzed morphologically and genetically and found to be most consistently aligned with the other representatives of A. verrucaria.

Abstract
The history of colour is fascinating from a social and artistic viewpoint because it shows the way; use; and importance acquired. The use of colours date back to the Stone Age (the first news of cave paintings); colour has contributed to the social and symbolic development of civilizations. Colour has been associated with hierarchy; power and leadership in some of them. The advent of synthetic dyes has revolutionized the colour industry; and due to their low cost; their use has spread to different industrial sectors. Although the percentage of coloured wastewater discharged by the textile; food; pharmaceutical; cosmetic; and paper industries; among other productive areas; are unknown; the toxic effect and ecological implications of this discharged into water bodies are harmful. This review briefly shows the social and artistic history surrounding the discovery and use of natural and synthetic dyes. We summarise the environmental impact caused by the discharge of untreated or poorly treated coloured wastewater to water bodies; which has led to physical; chemical and biological treatments to reduce the colour units so as important physicochemical parameters. We also focus on laccase utility (EC 1.10.3.2), for discolouration enzymatic treatment of coloured wastewater, before its discharge into water bodies. Laccases (p-diphenol: oxidoreductase dioxide) are multicopper oxidoreductase enzymes widely distributed in plants, insects, bacteria, and fungi. Fungal laccases have employed for wastewater colour removal due to their high redox potential. This review includes an analysis of the stability of laccases, the factors that influence production at high scales to achieve discolouration of high volumes of contaminated wastewater, the biotechnological impact of laccases, and the degradation routes that some dyes may follow when using the laccase for colour removal.

Abstract
In this study, we have successfully synthesized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), functionalised them by silanization and used them for the covalent immobilization of a recombinant small laccase (rSLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor. The immobilized recombinant laccase (MNP-rSLAC) was subsequently used for the treatment of phenol, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 4-fluorophenol (4-FP). The enzyme completely degraded 80 µg/mL of the selected phenolic compounds within 2 h in the presence of a natural mediator, acetosyringone. The MNP-rSLAC retained > 73% of initial activity (2,6-dimethoxyphenol as substrate) after 10 catalytic cycles and could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by the application of magnetic field. Furthermore, immobilised rSLAC exhibited better storage stability than its free counterpart. The Michaelis constant (Km) value for the immobilised rSLAC was higher than free rSLAC, however the maximum velocity (Vmax) of the immobilised SLAC was similar to that of the free rSLAC. Growth inhibition studies using Escherichia coli showed that rSLAC-mediated treatment of phenolic compounds reduced the toxicity of phenol, 4-CP and 4-FP by 90, 60 and 55%, respectively. Interestingly, the presence of selected metal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Mn2+) greatly enhanced the catalytic activity of rSLAC and MNP-rSLAC. This study indicates that immobilized small laccase (MNP-rSLAC) has potential for treating wastewater contaminated with phenolic compounds.

[PMID: 33671199 PMCID: PMC7922139 DOI: 10.3390/jof7020143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 02/13/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Typical laccases have four copper atoms, which form three different copper centers, of which the T1 copper is responsible for the blue color of the enzyme and gives it a characteristic absorbance around 610 nm. Several laccases have unusual spectral properties and are referred to as yellow or white laccases. Only two yellow laccases from the Ascomycota phylum have been described previously, and only one amino acid sequence of those enzymes is available. A yellow laccase Bcl1 from Botrytis cinerea strain 241 has been identified, purified and characterized in this work. The enzyme appears to be a dimer with a molecular mass of 186 kDa. The gene encoding the Bcl1 protein has been cloned, and the sequence analysis shows that the yellow laccase Bcl1 is phylogenetically distinct from other known yellow laccases. In addition, a comparison of amino acid sequences, and 3D modeling shows that the Bcl1 laccase lacks a conservative tyrosine, which is responsible for absorption quenching at 610 nm in another yellow asco-laccase from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. High thermostability, high salt tolerance, broad substrate specificity, and the ability to decolorize dyes without the mediators suggest that the Bcl1 laccase is a potential enzyme for various industrial applications.

Abstract
Production of an extracellular thermophilic and alkali stable laccase from Phoma herbarum isolate KU4 was reported for the first time, both in submerged fermentation (SmF, highest 1590 U/mL) and solid state fermentation (SSF, highest 2014.21 U/mL) using agro-industrial residues. The laccase was partially purified to 7.93 fold with the apparent molecular weight of 298 kDa. The enzyme had pH optimum at 5.0 and temperature optimum at 50 °C, with maximum stability at pH 8.0. It showed activity towards various phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. The kinetic parameters, Km, Vmax and Kcat of the laccase for DMP were 0.216 mM, 270.27 U/mg and 506.69 s-1, respectively. Laccase activity was inhibited by various metal ions and conventional inhibitors, however, it was slightly increased by Zn2+. The laccase showed good decolorization efficiency towards four industrial dyes, namely, methyl violet (75.66%), methyl green (65%), indigo carmine (58%) and neutral red (42%) within 24 h. FTIR analysis of the decolorized products confirmed the degradation of the dyes. The decolorization efficiency of the enzyme suggests that the partially purified laccase could be used to decolorize synthetic dyes present in industrial effluents and for waste water treatments. The thermophilic and alkali stable laccase may also have wider potential industrial applications.

Abstract
Trametes polyzona WRF03 produced high yield of true laccase. Trametes polyzona WRF03 laccase was relatively pH and temperature stable. Fe2+, sodium azide and sodium cyanide greatly inhibited laccase activity. Trametes polyzona WRF03 laccase decolorised many classes of synthetic dyes.
The molecular screening for laccase specific gene sequences in Trametes polyzona WRF03 (TpWRF03) using designed oligonucleotide primers analogous to the conserved sequences on the copper-binding regions of known laccases showed positive amplification with an amplicon size corresponding to 1500 bp. The purified TpWRF03 laccase (TpL) is a monomer with a molecular weight corresponding to 66 kDa. The enzyme had an optimal pH of 4.5 and temperature of 55 °C. TpL was most stable within pH of 5.5–6.5 and at a temperature range of 40–50 °C. Sodium azide, sodium cyanide and Fe2+ greatly inhibited the enzyme activity. TpL showed more than 50 % decolourisation efficiency on coomassie brilliant blue (72.35 %) and malachite green (57.84 %) but displayed low decolourisation efficiency towards Azure B (1.78 %) and methylene blue (0.38 %). The results showed that TpWRF03 produces high-yield of true laccase with robust properties for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The oxidation activity of multicopper-oxidases overlaps with different substrates of laccases and bilirubin oxidases, thus in the present study an integrated approach of bioinformatics using homology modeling, docking, and experimental validation was used to confirm the type of multicopper-oxidase in Myrothecium verrucaria ITCC-8447. The result of peptide sequence of M. verrucaria ITCC-8447 enabled to predict the 3 D-structure of multicopper-oxidase. It was overlapped with the structure of laccase and root mean square deviation (RMSD) was 1.53 Å for 533 and, 171 residues. The low binding energy with azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) (-5.64) as compared to bilirubin (-4.39) suggested that M. verrucaria ITCC-8447 have laccase-like activity. The experimental analysis confirmed high activity with laccase specific substrates, phenol (18.3 U/L), ampyrone (172.4 U/L) and, ampyrone phenol coupling (50 U/L) as compared to bilirubin oxidase substrate bilirubin (16.6 U/L). In addition, lowest binding energy with ABTS (-5.64), syringaldazine SYZ (-4.83), guaiacol GCL (-4.42), and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol DMP (-4.41) confirmed the presence of laccase. Further, complete remediation of two hazardous model pollutants i.e., phenol and resorcinol (1.5 mM) after 12 h of incubation and low binding energy of -4.32 and, -4.85 respectively confirmed its removal by laccase. The results confirmed the presence of laccase in M. verrucaria ITCC-8447 and its effective bioremediation potential.

Abstract
In the present study, specificity of laccase from Stropharia sp. ITCC-8422 against various substrates, i.e. 2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP), guaiacol (GCL) and syringaldazine (SYZ) was determined. It exhibited maximum affinity against ABTS, followed by DMP and negligible activity for GCL and SYZ. As the concentration of substrate increased from 0.5 to 1.5 mM (ABTS) and 1 to 5 mM (DMP), the activity increased from 301.1 to 567.8 U/L and 254.4 to 436.2 U/L. Further, quadrupole time-of-flight liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (QTOF-LCMS) analysis of the extracellular proteome of Stropharia sp. ITCC-8422 identified eighty-four (84) extracellular proteins. The peptide sequence for the enzyme of interest exhibited sequence similarity with laccase-5 of Trametes pubescens. Using high molecular mass sequence of laccase-5, the protein structure of laccase was modelled and binding energy of laccase with four substrates, i.e. ABTS (- 5.65), DMP (- 4.65), GCL (- 4.66) and SYZ (- 5.5) was determined using autodock tool. The experimental and in silico analyses revealed maximum activity of laccase and lowest binding energy with ABTS. Besides, laccase was purified and it exhibited 2.1-fold purification with purification yield of 20.4% and had stability of 70% at pH 5-9 and 30-40 ℃. In addition, the bioremediation potential of laccase was explored by in silico analysis, where the binding energy of laccase with alizarin cyanine green was - 6.37 and both in silico work and experimental work were in agreement.

Abstract
Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) has a unique feature of having the presence of four Cu atoms arranged into three (Type I, II and III) spectral classification. MCOs laccase due to its broad range of substrate specificity has numerous biotechnological applications. The two types of laccases include the typical blue and the atypical white, yellow laccases which have been isolated from diverse geographical locations globally. In the present study laccases were identified using Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer Studies (LCMS) study where blue laccase exhibited homology with Trametes villosa Q99044 and Q99046 and white, yellow laccase exhibited homology with Myrothecium verrucaria OX = 1859699; Q12737 and Trametes versicolor Q12717 respectively. The spectral comparison between laccases were determined via spectroscopic analysis where UV-spectra of blue laccase from Trametes versicolor had a peak at 605 nm (Type I Cu atom) whereas in case of white and yellow laccases the peak was absent and in addition had an absorption peak at 400nm. It was followed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis of proteins where α-helix (10°) and β-sheet (22°) structure were observed in case of all the three laccases. However, the intensity of α-helix in white and yellow laccase was stronger as compared to the blue laccase whereas the intensity of β-sheet was stronger in case of blue laccase as compared to other two laccases. Further, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed which enabled the analysis of proteins where α-helix (1650–1658 cm−1), β-sheets (1620–1640 cm−1), amide I (1700−1600 cm−1) amide II (bands at under 1400 cm−1) and amide A, B (bands above 3000 cm−1).

Abstract
A laccase-producing ascomycete fungus was isolated from soil collected around the premises of a textile dye factory and identified as Nectriella pironii. Efficient laccase production was achieved via the synergistic action of 1 mM copper sulfate and ferulic acid. Extracts of rapeseed oil cake, grass hay, and leaf litter collected in a pocket urban park were used for enzyme production. The highest laccase activity (3,330 U/L) was observed in the culture grown on the leaf litter extract. This is the first report on biosynthesis of laccase by N. pironii. This is also the first study on utilization of naturally fallen park leaves as a substrate for fungal laccase production. The extracellular enzyme possessing laccase activity was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatographic techniques. The amino acid sequence of the protein revealed highest similarity to the laccase enzyme produced by Stachybotrys chartarum—and considerable homology to those produced by other fungal species. The purified laccase possessed a molecular mass of 50 kDa. The enzyme had an optimum pH of 2.0 or 6.0 and retained more than 50% of residual activity after 3 hours of incubation at pH 3.0–10.6 or 4.0–9.0 when 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid or 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, respectively, were used. Dithiothreitol, β-mercaptoethanol, and sodium azide at 1 mM concentration strongly inhibited the laccase activity, while in the presence of 50 mM urea, the enzyme was found to retain 25% of its activity. The laccase was able to decolorize more than 80% of Indigo Carmine, Remazol Brilliant Blue R, Reactive Orange 16, and Acid Red 27 dyes within 1 h. The possibility of leaf litter use for the production of the laccase enzyme from N. pironii (IM 6443), exhibiting high pH stability and degradative potential, makes it a promising tool for use in different environmental and industrial operations.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic agricultural bi-products, pearl millet (PM) and finger millet (FM) husks, were used for the production of laccase using Bacillus sp. PS under solid-state fermentation (SSF). Abiotic variables such as substrate (PM, FM) concentration (1-5%), incubation time (24-96 h) and pH (5-10) were optimized using Response surface methodology (RSM) to maximize the laccase production. The predicted model showed maximum laccase activity of 402 U/mL appearing after 96 h of incubation with PM 2.0 g/L and FM 1.5 g/L at pH 7.0. Single protein band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) confirmed homogeneity of the laccase with a molecular weight of 63-75 kDa. The partially purified laccase effectively degraded the pesticides (Tricel, 71.8 ± 3.5 and Phoskill 77.3 ± 3.4%) within 5 days of incubation (40 °C) in pH 7.0. The pesticide degradation was further confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the chromatograms showed the single dominant peaks at retention time 2.482 (tricel) and 2.608 (phoskill) min, respectively. Pesticide-degrading laccase was produced by Bacillus sp. PS under SSF reveals the utilization of low-cost bi-substrates for enhanced laccase production.

Abstract
Laccase (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase) a unique multi-copper oxidase enzyme has been studied rigorously since its identification. However, there is ambivalence associated with various aspects of laccase, e.g., assay conditions and calculations. Our aim was to minimize its ambivalence, thus, total of five formulas (F1-F5) were used to determine laccase activity of white and blue laccase. In case of enzymatic profiling of blue laccase, its activity ranged from 0.04 to 464.3 U L-1 whereas in case of white laccase it ranged from 0.05 to 1404.7 U L-1. The affinity of laccase at various enzyme concentration (0.3-0.9 mg mL-1), time (5 and 10 min) along with various substrates, i.e., 2, 2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), guaiacol (GCL), 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP) and syringaldazine (SYZ), and its concentration (ABTS 0.5-1.5 mM, GCL 20-30 mM, DMP 1-5 mM, SYZ 10-30 mM) were inferred. The optimal substrate concentrations were 1.5 and 0.5 mM ABTS for blue and white laccase, respectively, with 30 mM GCL and 2 mM DMP being the common parameter. The optimal substrate concentrations were 0.5 mM ABTS, 20 mM GCL, 1 mM DMP and 30 mM SYZ for commercial laccase. It was observed that the optimal protein load and reaction time was 0.3 mg mL-1 and 5 min in all the cases, however, in case of white laccase it was 0.6 mg mL-1 at 10 min for DMP and in case of commercial laccase it was 0.9 mg mL-1 and 5 min for SYZ. In the present study, F1 was most appropriate among the five formula used as it incorporates all the significant factors and use of single formula will help reduce future ambiguity.

Abstract
We isolated three laccase-producing fungus strains from Taxus rhizosphere. Myrotheium verrucaria strain DJTU-sh7 had the highest laccase activity of 216.2 U/ml, which was increased to above 300 U/ml after optimization. DJTU-sh7 had the best decolorizing effect for three classes of reactive dyes. The DJTU-sh7-containing fungal consortium displayed the robust decolorizing ability. Both color removal efficiency and chemical oxygen demand were increased in the consortium mediated biotransformation. Transcriptome changes of M. verrucaria elicited by azo dye and phenolic were quantified by the high throughput transcriptome sequencing, and the activities of the selected oxidases and reductases were determined. The possible involvement of oxidases and reductases, especially laccase, aryl alcohol oxidase, and ferric reductase in the biotransformation of dye and phenolic compounds was revealed at both transcriptomic and phenotypic levels. Revealing the transcriptomic mechanisms of fungi in dealing with organic pollutants facilitates the fine-tuned manipulation of strains in developing novel bioremediation and biodegradation strategies.

Abstract
In the present study, a non-blue laccase gene from previously reported lignin degrading bacterium, Pandoraea sp. ISTKB, was isolated, cloned and expressed in E. coli. Bioinformatics analysis of sequence discovered twin-arginine translocation signal sequence, copper binding motifs and presence of more random coil compare to helices and sheets in structure. The enzyme was found to be active on wide pH range and the pH optima was observed at pH 4 and 8 on substrate 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and 2,6-Dimethoxyphenol respectively. This is a thermophilic enzyme with maximum activity around 50-70 °C. The enzyme was further characterized by spectroscopy, reaction kinetics and effect of metal ions and inhibitors were studied. Compared to laccase alone; the treatment of dyes with laccase plus mediator resulted in enhanced decolorization of crystal violet, methylene blue, azure B, carmine and Congo red but the effect of mediator was not observed on trypan blue. Laccase treatment triggered polymerization on vanillic acid (VA) and kraft lignin (KL). Laccase plus mediator treatment reversed the polymerization and resulted in transformation or degradation of VA and KL. This thermophilic and alkalophilic non-blue laccase from Pandoraea sp. ISTKB is promising with prospective biotechnological application.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to screen a laccase-producing fungal endophyte, optimize fermentation conditions, and evaluate the decolorization ability of the laccase. A new fungal endophyte capable of laccase-producing was firstly isolated from pigeon pea and identified as Myrothecium verrucaria based on a ITS-rRNA sequences analysis. Meanwhile, various fermentation parameters on the laccase production were optimized via response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal fermentation conditions were a fermentation time of five days, temperature 30 °C and pH 6.22. Laccase activity reached 16.52 ± 0.18 U/mL under the above conditions. Furthermore, the laccase showed effective decolorization capability toward synthetic dyes (Congo red, Methyl orange, Methyl red, and Crystal violet) in the presence of the redox mediator ABTS, with more than 70% of dyes decolorizing after 24 h of incubation. Additionally, the activity of laccase was relatively stable with pH (4.5-6.5) and a temperature range of 35-55 °C. Therefore, the high laccase production of the strain and the new fungal laccase could provide a promising alterative approach for industrial and environmental applications.

Abstract
The species variability and potential environmental functions of Taxus rhizosphere microbial community were studied by comparative analyses of 15 16S rRNA and 15 ITS MiSeq sequencing libraries from Taxus rhizospheres in subtropical and temperate regions of China, as well as by isolating laccase-producing strains and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading strains. Total reads could be assigned to 2,141 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) belonging to 31 bacteria phyla and 2,904 OTUs of at least seven fungi phyla. The abundance of Planctomycetes, Actinobacteria, and Chloroflexi was higher in T. cuspidata var. nana and T. × media rhizospheres than in T. mairei rhizosphere (NF), while Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, Nitrospirae, and unclassified bacteria were more abundant in the latter. Ascomycota and Zygomycota were predominant in NF, while two temperate Taxus rhizospheres had more unclassified fungi, Basidiomycota, and Chytridiomycota. The bacterial/fungal community richness and diversity were lower in NF than in other two. Three dye decolorizing fungal isolates were shown to be highly efficient in removing three classes of reactive dye, while two PAH-degrading fungi were able to degrade recalcitrant benzo[a]pyrene. The present studies extend the knowledge pedigree of the microbial diversity populating rhizospheres, and exemplify the method shift in research and development of resource plant rhizosphere.

Abstract
A strain LN07 with high laccase yield was identified as basidiomycete fungus Lepista nuda from which a white laccase without type I copper was purified and characterized. The laccase was a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 56 kDa. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was AIGPAADLHIVNKDISPDGF. Besides, eight inner peptide sequences were determined and lac4, lac5 and lac6 sequences were in the Cu2+ combination and conservation zones of laccases. HIV-1 reverse transcriptase was inhibited by the laccase with a half-inhibitory concentration of 0.65 μM. Cu2+ ions (1.5 mM) enhanced the laccase production and the optimal pH and temperature of the laccase were pH 3.0 and 50 °C, respectively. The Km and Vmax of the laccase using ABTS as substrate were respectively 0.19 mM and 195 μM. Several dyes including laboratory dyes and textile dyes used in this study, such as Methyl red, Coomassie brilliant blue, Reactive brilliant blue and so on, were decolorized in different degrees by the purified laccase. By LC-MS analysis, Methyl red was structurally degraded by the laccase. Moreover, the laccase affected the absorbance at the maximum wavelength of many pesticides. Thus, the white laccase had potential commercial value for textile finishing and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The detail understanding of physiological/biochemical characteristics of individual laccase isoenzymes in fungi is necessary for fundamental and application purposes, but our knowledge is still limited for most of fungi due to difficult to express laccases heterologously. In this study, two novel laccase genes, named lac3 and lac4, encoding proteins of 547 and 532-amino acids preceded by 28 and 16-residue signal peptides, respectively, were cloned from the edible basidiomycete Coprinus comatus. They showed 70% identity but much lower homology with other fungal laccases at protein level (less than 58%). Two novel laccase isoenzymes were successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris by fusing an additional 10 amino acids (Thr-Pro-Phe-Pro-Pro-Phe-Asn-Thr-Asn-Ser) tag at N-terminus, and the volumetric activities could be dramatically enhanced from undetectable level to 689 and 1465 IU/l for Lac3 and Lac4, respectively. Both laccases possessed the lowest Km and highest kcat/Km value towards syringaldazine, followed by ABTS, guaiacol and 2,6-dimethylphenol similar as the low redox potential laccases from other microorganisms. Lac3 and Lac4 showed resistant to SDS, and retained 31.86% and 43.08% activity in the presence of 100 mM SDS, respectively. Lac3 exhibited higher decolorization efficiency than Lac4 for eleven out of thirteen different dyes, which may attribute to the relatively higher catalytic efficiency of Lac3 than Lac4 (in terms of kcat/Km) towards syringaldazine and ABTS. The mild synergistic decolorization by two laccases was observed for triphenylmethane dyes but not for anthraquinone and azo dyes.

Abstract
Laccases are versatile biocatalysts for the bioremediation of various xenobiotics, including dyes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. However, current sources of new enzymes, simple heterologous expression hosts and enzymatic information (such as the appropriateness of common screening substrates on laccase engineering) remain scarce to support efficient engineering of laccase for better "green" applications. To address the issue, this study began with cloning the laccase family of Lentinula edodes. Three laccases perfectio sensu stricto (Lcc4A, Lcc5, and Lcc7) were then expressed from Pichia pastoris, characterized and compared with the previously reported Lcc1A and Lcc1B in terms of kinetics, stability, and degradation of dyes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Lcc7 represented a novel laccase, and it exhibited both the highest catalytic efficiency (assayed with 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) [ABTS]) and thermostability. However, its performance on "green" applications surprisingly did not match the activity on the common screening substrates, namely, ABTS and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol. On the other hand, correlation analyses revealed that guaiacol is much better associated with the decolorization of multiple structurally different dyes than are the two common screening substrates. Comparison of the oxidation chemistry of guaiacol and phenolic dyes, such as azo dyes, further showed that they both involve generation of phenoxyl radicals in laccase-catalyzed oxidation. In summary, this study concluded a robust expression platform of L. edodes laccases, novel laccases, and an indicative screening substrate, guaiacol, which are all essential fundamentals for appropriately driving the engineering of laccases towards more efficient "green" applications.
