Shrimp laccase degrades polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from an oil spill disaster in Brazil: A tool for marine environmental bioremediation

Mechanism of non-phenolic substrate oxidation by the fungal laccase Type 1 copper site fromTrametes versicolor: the case of benzo[a]pyrene and anthracene

“…Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2. oxygen oxidoreductase or multicopper oxidase) belong to the group of phenol-oxidases and are widespread in bacteria, 1 fungi, 2–6 plants, insects, 7 and marine species. 8 These enzymes catalyze the one-electron oxidation of diverse substrates concomitantly with the reduction of molecular oxygen to water. 9…”
