Abstract
Laccases are multi-copper oxidase enzymes having widespread applications in various biotechnological fields. However, low stability of free enzymes restricts their industrial use. Development of effective methods to preserve and even increase the enzymatic activity is critical to maximize their use, though this remains a challenge. In the present study we immobilized Trametes versicolor laccase on pH-responsive (and charge-switchable) Pluronic-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPsTrp). Our results demonstrate that colloidal stabilization of AgNPsTrp with the amphiphilic copolymer Pluronic F127 enhances enzyme activity (AgNPsTrpF1 + Lac6) by changing the active site microenvironment, which is confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy. Detailed kinetic and thermodynamic studies reveal a facile strategy to improve the protein quality by lowering the activation energy and expanding the temperature window for substrate hydrolysis. The immobilized nanocomposite did not show any change in flow behavior which indirectly suggests that the enzyme stability is maintained, and the enzyme did not aggregate or unfold upon immobilization. Finally, assessing the anticancer efficacy of this nanocomposite in breast cancer MCF-7 cells shows the inhibition of cell proliferation through β-estradiol degradation and cells apoptosis. To understand the molecular mechanism involved in this process, semi qRT-PCR experiments were performed, which indicated significant decrease in the mRNA levels of anti-apoptotic genes, for example, BCL-2 and NF-kβ, and increase in the mRNA level of pro-apoptotic genes like p53 in treated cells, compared to control. Overall, this study offers a completely new strategy for tailoring nano-bio-interfaces with improved activity and stability of laccase.

Abstract
Concentrated coconut milk (CCM), a raw material from coconut products, is extremely unstable because of its high oil content (>30%). In this study, three model emulsions-primary emulsions stabilized by coconut proteins only, secondary emulsions stabilized by the conjugation of sugar beet pectin (SBP) and coconut protein, and laccase-treated secondary emulsions-were prepared to investigate the effects of different factors (coconut proteins, coconut proteins + SBP, laccase-treated emulsions) on the stability of model emulsions and the application of this method to real CCM. The stability of the emulsions was evaluated based on their interfacial tension, zeta potential, particle size distribution, rheological properties, and the assembly formation of SBP and coconut protein at the oil⁻water interface. Results showed that addition of SBP or laccase can increase the viscosity and reduce the interfacial tension of the emulsion, and the effect was concentration dependent. Zeta potential of the emulsion decreased with the increase of protein (from -16 to -32 mV) and addition of SBP (from -32 to -46 mV), and it was reduced when laccase was added (from -9.5 to -6.0 mV). The secondary emulsion exhibited the narrowest particle size distribution (from 0.1 to 20 μm); however, laccase-catalyzed secondary emulsions showed the best storage stability and no layering when the laccase content reached 10 U/100 g. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) revealed that protein was adsorbed on the oil⁻water interface and SBP distributed in the continuous phase could undergo oxidative crosslinking by laccase. These results show that the stability of the concentrated emulsion can be effectively improved by adding SBP and laccase.

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
In the report, three bioactive fractions from Cerrena unicolor: laccase (LAC), endopolysaccharides (c-EPL), and low molecular weight (ex-LMS) were tested for the first time towards their antiviral, immunostimulatory, cytotoxic and antiproliferative effect. The immunomodulatory activity was studied by means of THP-1-derived macrophages able to synthesize and secrete IL-6 and TNF-α. We used cervical carcinoma cell lines SiHa (ATCC, HTB-35) and CaSki (ATCC, CRL 1550) to determine antitumor activity and human skin fibroblasts (HSF) as a control. SiHa and L929 cell lines were used in the antiviral activity assay to propagate HHV-1 and EMCV, respectively. LAC was the most active against HSV at an early stage of viral replication, whereas the activity of laccase against EMCV was evident after incubation of the virus with LAC before and after the adsorption step. Moreover, the investigations showed that the fungal c-EPL fraction stimulated the production and secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 by THP-1-derived macrophages up to a level of 2000 pg/ml and 400 pg/ml, respectively. It was indicated for the first time that the LAC and ex-LMS fractions exhibited anticancer activity. This resulted from their cytotoxic or antiproliferative action against the investigated tumor cells at concentrations above 250 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml, respectively.

Abstract
In this work, laccase treatment was employed to enhance nanofiltration process by lignin removal. Results showed that the membrane filterability was increased in terms of deionized water flux and PHL filtration process. On the other hand, the hemicellulosic sugars were negligible affected and can be concentrated to 172 g/L, which was increased about 300% from the original one. The combined laccase-nanofiltration process provides an alternative approach to utilize hemicellulosic sugars of PHL in an environmentally friendly way.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are highly toxic organic pollutants which are abundant and environmentally widespread. Anthracene is a simple PAH that can be oxidized by laccases, copper-containing oxidase enzymes, produced by some plants, fungi, and bacteria. In this work, the extracellular culture fluid (CF) of laccase-producing fungus Pleurotus ostreatus was separated to crude laccase (CL) and aqueous ultrafiltrate (AU) fractions. The rate of anthracene oxidation by CF was 68.7 % while oxidation by CL was only 27.8 %. The addition of AU enhanced anthracene oxidation rate by CL to 60.4 %, indicating that the natural redox-mediators were present in the CF. The laccase-catalyzed anthracene oxidation rate increased with increased AU concentration, implying that oxidation rate is positively related to the concentration of natural mediators when laccase activity is constant. The AU from fungal culture containing bran or straw enhanced laccase-catalyzed anthracene oxidation; this enhancement increased further with prolonged fungus-cultivation, implying that both bran and straw induce the natural mediators. Our findings suggest increasing natural mediator levels may be an alternative strategy to improve the biodegradability of laccase-producing fungi.

Abstract
In this study, the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus CECT 10875 was compared to the industrial strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ethanol Red for lignocellulosic ethanol production. For it, whole slurry from steam-exploded wheat straw was used as raw material, and two process configurations, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) and presaccharification and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (PSSF), were evaluated. Compared to S. cerevisiae, which was able to produce ethanol in both process configurations, K. marxianus was inhibited, and neither growth nor ethanol production occurred during the processes. However, laccase treatment of the whole slurry removed specifically lignin phenols from the overall inhibitory compounds present in the slurry and triggered the fermentation by K. marxianus, attaining final ethanol concentrations and yields comparable to those obtained by S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the synergies of laccase, a ligninolytic enzyme, with cellulose and hemicellulase amendments on ensiled corn stover. Molecular signals of lignin decomposition were observed by tetramethylammonium hydroxide thermochemolysis and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (TMAH-GC-MS) analysis. The significant findings suggest that ensilage might provide a platform for biological pretreatment. By partially hydrolyzing cellulose and hemicellulose into soluble sugars, ensilage facilitates laccase penetration into the lignocellulose complex to enhance lignin degradation. Downstream cellulose hydrolysis was improved 7% with increasing laccase loading rate. These results demonstrate the potential of enzymes, either directly amended or expressed by microbes during ensilage, to maximize utilization of corn stover for cellulosic biofuels and other downstream fermentations.

Abstract
Laccase, capable of selectively degrading lignin while keeping cellulose intact, has been widely applied for the modification and bio-bleaching of pulp. In this study Sclerotium sp. laccase (MSLac) was employed in combination with steam explosion to evaluate the effect of this treatment on cellulose hydrolysis. Combined steam explosion with laccase pretreatment enhanced the cellulose conversion rate of wheat straw no matter in the case of successive (MSLac-Cel) and simultaneous (MSLac+Cel) MSLac and cellulase hydrolysis. The highest cellulose conversion rate of 84.23% was obtained when steam-exploded wheat straw (SEWS) (1.3 MPa, 5 min) was treated by MSLac+Cel at a laccase loading of 0.55 U g(-1) substrate. FT-IR and SEM analyses indicated that MSLac oxidized the phenol and changed electron configuration of the ring, which contributed to loosening the compact wrap of lignin-carbohydrate complex and consequently enhancing the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of cellulose. This article provided a promising method for lignocellulose bio-pretreatment.

Abstract
In this work, laccase enzymes were evaluated to detoxify the whole slurry from steam-exploded wheat straw. For it, two different strategies, laccase treatment before or after enzymatic hydrolysis, were employed. The detoxification efficiency was analyzed on enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation levels by the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. Laccases reduced phenolic compounds without affecting weak acids and furan derivates. A lower glucose recovery was observed when laccase treatments were carried out before enzymatic hydrolysis, phenomenon that was not showed after enzymatic hydrolysis. In contrast, both laccase treatment strategies enhanced ethanol concentrations, reducing significantly the lag phase of the yeast and allowing substrate loading increments of saccharification and fermentation broths.

Abstract
Phenoloxidases (POs) are a group of copper proteins including tyrosinase, catecholase and laccase. In several insects and crustaceans, antibacterial substances are produced through the PO cascade, participating in the direct killing of invading microorganisms. However, although POs are widely recognised as an integral part of the invertebrate immune defence system, experimental evidence is lacking that these properties are conserved in molluscs, and more particularly in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. In the present study, Vibrio splendidus LGP32 and Vibrio aestuarianus 02/041 growths were affected, after being treated with C. gigas haemocyte lysate supernatant (HLS), and either a common substrate of POs, l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), to detect catecholase-type PO activity, or a specific substrate of laccase, p-phenylenediamine (PPD), to detect laccase-type PO activity. Interestingly, a higher bacterial growth inhibition was observed in the presence of PPD than in the presence of L-DOPA. These effects were suppressed when the specific PO inhibitor, phenylthiourea (PTU), was added to the medium. Results of the present study suggest, for the first time in a mollusc species, that antibacterial activities of HLS from C. gigas potentially involve POs, and more particularly laccase catalysed reactions.

Abstract
Functionalization of sisal specialty pulp fibers by laccase-catalysed grafting of ferulic acid (FRC) was investigated. To this end, the extent of phenol coupling to fibers under different reaction conditions (laccase and FRC rates, and time) was evaluated in terms of pulp properties including kappa number (expressed as the combined contributions of lignin and hexenuronic acids), brightness, Klason lignin and surface anionic charge after Soxhlet extraction of acetone-treated pulp. The specific treatment resulting in the highest degree of grafting was then used in a comparative study of the effects of applying the laccase-FRC system to refined and unrefined pulp with a view to confirming whether the increased surface area obtained by effect of fibrillation would lead to enhanced grafting. Based on the results, refining the pulp prior to the enzyme treatment resulted in increased grafting which in turn led to handsheets with improved strength-related properties (particularly wet tensile strength) relative to control samples.

Abstract
A laccase with a molecular mass of 67 kDa and inhibitory activity toward HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (IC50 = 7.5 microM) was isolated from fresh fruiting bodies of the Lentinus edodes (Shiitake mushroom). Its characteristics were compared with those of laccases from cultured mushroom mycelia reported earlier. The laccase was unadsorbed on DEAE-cellulose, Affi-gel blue gel and CM-cellulose, but was adsorbed on Con A-Sepharose. About 50-fold purification was achieved with a 19.2% yield of the enzyme. The activity of the enzyme increased steadily from 20 degrees C to 70 degreesC. The activity disappeared after exposure to the boiling temperature for 10 min. Its optimal pH was 4 and very little enzyme activity remained at and above pH 10. The laccase inhibited HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with an IC50 of 7.5 microM, but did not demonstrate any antifungal or anti-proliferative activity.

Abstract
A laccase, with HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity (IC(50)=12.7 μM) and antiproliferative activity against HepG2 cells (IC(50)=5.6 μM) and MCF7 cells (IC(50)=6.5 μM), was purified from fresh fruiting bodies of the edible white common Agrocybe cylindracea mushroom. The laccase, which had a novel N-terminal sequence, displayed a molecular mass of 58 kDa within the range reported for most other mushroom laccases. The purification protocol entailed ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, SP-Sepharose, and Q-Sepharose and gel filtration on Superdex 75. The laccase was adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose and Q-Sepharose, but unadsorbed on SP-Sepharose. Its optimum pH was pH 3-4 and its optimum temperature was 50°C. The activity of the isolated laccase differed from one substrate to another. The ranking was ABTS>N,N-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine>hydroquinone>catechol>2-methylcatechol>pyrogallol.

Abstract
Study of adsorption-desorption behavior of herbicide atrazine in soils of different geographical zones in the presence of Coriolus hirsutus laccase was performed. Laccase was shown to significantly increase adsorption coefficient and to facilitate irreversible adsorption of atrazine to soil. Supposably, laccase catalyzes oxidative binding of atrazine to soil.

Abstract
The efficiency of Trametes versicolor laccase in the transformation of phenols (caffeic acid, catechol, hydroxytyrosol, methylcatechol, protocatechuic acid, syringic acid, m-tyrosol, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) usually present in waste water, such as that derived from an olive oil factory, was investigated. According to their response to 24 h laccase action the 11 phenolic compounds were classified in three groups: reactive (88-100% transformation), intermediate reactive (transformation lower than 50%), and recalcitrant (not transformed at all). The enzyme was able to transform the 11 substrates even when they were present in a mixture and also toward a phenolic extract from a Moroccan olive oil mill waste water (OMW) sample. The disappearance of protocatechuic, 3-hydroxyphenylacetic, and 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acids, and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde was enhanced whereas that of caffeic acid and m-tyrosol was depressed when the phenols were present in the mixture. A reduction of enzyme activity occurred in single and/or complex phenolic mixtures after enzymatic oxidation. No correspondence between phenol transformation and disappearance of enzymatic activity was, however, observed. The overall results suggest that laccases are effective in the transformation of simple and complex phenolic mixtures.

Abstract
Research was conducted to evaluate the potential use of laccase and its susceptibility to inactivation in an alternative enzyme-based treatment technology to remove parent phenol from buffered distilled water. Enzymatic oxidative polymerization of phenol with laccase was carried out in continuously stirred batch reactors. The reaction products were insoluble polymers, which precipitated out of the solution once their solubility limits were exceeded. The findings demonstrated that the polymeric products had significant effects on enzyme activity consumption and subsequent phenol removal. Enzyme species present in the reaction vessel were classified into enzyme remaining in the solution (type 1) and enzyme adhering to the precipitate polymers (type 2). Type 1 enzyme was more efficient in removal of phenol from solution compared with type 2. Subsequent filtration enhanced the phenol removal by removing type 2 enzyme adhering to the polymer particles and decelerating enzyme inactivation. The study also investigated the effects of available dissolved oxygen, provided through aeration and hydrogen peroxide addition, on phenol removal. Aeration and hydrogen peroxide addition increased the dissolved oxygen concentration, but had no effect on the progress curve for phenol removal.

Abstract
AIMS Investigation of waste pulps and soda pulp bleaching with xylanase (X) and laccase mediator system (LMS) alone and in conjunction (one after the other) (XLMS). METHODS AND RESULTS Soda and different grades of waste pulp fibres [used for making three-layered duplex sheets - top layer (TL), protective layer (PL) and bottom layer (BL)] when pretreated with either xylanase (40.0 IU g(-1)) or LMS (up to 200.0 U g(-1)) alone and in combination (one after the other) (XLMS) exhibited an increase in release of reducing sugars [up to 881.0% soda pulp; up to 736.6% (TL), up to 215.7% (PL) and up to 198.0% (BL) waste pulp], reduction in kappa number [up to 17.6% soda pulp; up to 14.0% (TL), up to 25.3% (PL) and up to 10.9% (BL), waste pulp], improvement in brightness [up to 20.4% soda pulp; up to 23.6% (TL), up to 8.6% (PL) and up to 5.0% (BL), waste pulp] when compared with the respective controls. The usage of XLMS along with 15% reduced level of hypochlorite at CEHHXLMS/EHHXLMS bleaching stage reduced kappa number [5.5% soda pulp; 11.4% (TL), 7.9% (PL), waste pulp] and improved brightness [1.0% soda pulp; 0.9% (TL), 1.4% (PL) waste pulp] when compared with the controls. Scanning electron microscopic studies revealed development of cracks, flakes, pores and peeling off the fibres in the enzyme-treated pulp samples. These modifications of the fibre surface during enzymatic bleaching in turn indicated the removal of lignin and derived compounds from the fibre cell wall. CONCLUSIONS The work describes synergistic action of xylanase with LMS for bleaching of waste and nonwood pulps for eco-friendly production of paper and thus reveals a new unexploited arena for enzyme-based pulp bleaching. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The drastic improvement in pulp properties obtained after xylanase and LMS treatment would improve the competitiveness of enzyme-based, environmentally benign processes over chemicals both economically and environmentally.

Abstract
The goal of this work was to investigate the decomposition of azo dyes by oxidative methods, such as laccase and ultrasound treatments. Each of these methods has strong and feeble sides. The laccase treatment showed high decolorization rates but cannot degrade all investigated dyes (reactive dyes), and high anionic strength led to enzyme deactivation. Ultrasound treatment can decolorize all tested dyes after 3 h at a high energy input, and prolonged sonication leads to nontoxic ionic species, which was demonstrated by ion chromatography and toxicity assays. For the first time, it was shown that a combination of laccase and ultrasound treatments can have synergistic effects, which was shown by higher degradation rates. Bulk light absorption and ion-pairing high-performance liquid chromatography (IP-HPLC) were used for process monitoring, while with reversed-phase HPLC, a lower number of intermediates than expected by IP-HPLC was found. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry indicated that both acid orange dyes lead to a common end product due to laccase treatment. Acid Orange 52 is demethylated by laccase and ultrasound treatment. Further results confirmed that the main effect of ultrasound is based on *OH attack on the dye molecules.

Abstract
A laccase with a novel N-terminal sequence was purified from fresh fruiting bodies of the edible wild mushroom Albatrella dispansus using a procedure that entailed ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel and Con A-Sepharose, and gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75. In contrast to most of the previously reported laccases from mushroom mycelia, the laccase was unadsorbed on DEAE-cellulose. Although it was also unadsorbed on Affi-gel blue gel, it was adsorbed on Con A-Sepharose, indicating that it is a glycoprotein. It exhibited a molecular mass of 62kDa in gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. The activity of the laccase increased with temperature from 20 to 70 degrees C, and notably remained high at 80 degrees C. The pH optimum for the enzyme was around 4. Enzyme activity was indiscernible at pH 8 and pH 9. The laccase did not exert any inhibitory activity toward HIV-1 reverse transcriptase at a concentration of 1mg/ml, unlike some previously reported mushroom proteins.

Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus grown in bioreactor batch cultures in a model phenolic wastewater (diluted and sterilized olive oil mill wastewater-OMW), caused significant phenolic removal. Laccase, the sole ligninolytic enzyme detected in the growth environment, was produced during primary metabolic growth. The bioprocess was simulated with the aid of a mathematical model and the parameters of growth were determined. When the fungal biomass was increased in the reactor (during repeated batch experiments) the rate of reducing sugars consumption progressively increased, but a phenolic fraction seemed of being strongly resistant to oxidation. The toxicity of OMW against the seeds of Lepidium sativum and the marine Branchiopoda Artemia sp. was significantly decreased after biotreatment. On the contrary, the toxicity against the freshwater Branchiopoda Daphnia magna was not affected by the treatment, whereas on the soil and freshwater sediments Ostracoda Heterocypris incongruens was slightly decreased. Both treated and untreated OMWs, used as water for irrigation of lettuce and tomato plants, did not significantly affect the uptake of several nutrients by the cultivated plants, but resulted in a decrease in the plant yields, which was minimized when high OMW dilutions were used. As a conclusion, P. ostreatus is able to reduce phenolic content and toxicity of sterilized OMW, in bioreactor cultures. However, high OMW dilutions should be used, and/or additional treatment should be applied before use of the OMW in the environment, e.g. as water for irrigation. Further research should be done in order to transfer this technology under industrial conditions (e.g. by using unsterilized OMW).

Abstract
Rheological characteristics of dough and glutenin macropolymer (GMP) extracted thereof were investigated. Three single enzymes, pentosanase (PP), glucoseoxidase (GLZ), and laccase (LAC), and their combinations were used. GLZ gave the least extensible and most resistant dough, and pentosanase/glucoseoxidase (PPGLZ) resulted in dough with improved extensibility. The enzymes improved gluten quality. The glutenin macropolymer (GMP) was characterized in terms of wet weight, protein content, pentosan association, and dynamic rheological properties. Enzymatic addition decreased the wet weight of GMP but increased the protein content. PP decreased the content of pentosans on the GMP, but single oxidases increased the content of pentosans associated with GMP. PP did not modify the elastic modulus (G') of the GMP, whereas GLZ increased G' by increasing the polymerization of proteins and LAC diminished G'. The combination PPGLZ produced a synergic increase of G'.

Abstract
Both laccase production by the white-rot fungus Coriolus versicolor and decolorization of dyestuff and dying waste water with crude solution of laccase were studied in this work. Laccase production meets the definition of secondary metabolism. For laccase production the optimum initial pH is 4.5. Addition of veratryl alcohol or elevated trace metals could both enhance the laccase activity, while Tween80 showed some inhibition. The immobilized mycelia of C. versicolor in polyurethane foam had less laccase production ability than mycelial pellets. A repeated batch cultivation process was found to be a very economical way for laccase harvest. The same pellets could be used for at least 14 times and average laccase activity of each batch could maintain 6.72 IU/mL. This method reduces the enzyme production course, medium consumption and the possibility of contamination, showing high efficient and great economic benefit. Good results were also obtained in decolorization experiments with the crude solution of laccase. With 3.3 IU/mL initial laccase activity, color removal of Acid Orange reached 98.5% after 24 h reaction. Also with 2.6 IU/mL initial laccase activity, color removal of dying waste water reached 93% after 24 h reaction.
