Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Laccases are oxidase enzymes from white rot fungi.
  • They are key in lignin degradation and the natural carbon cycle.
  • Laccases can oxidize xenobiotics under green conditions, alone or with mediators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe novel oxidations using the laccase-mediator system.
  • To identify current limitations of this green oxidation technology.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the laccase-mediator method for novel oxidations.
  • Investigated the oxidation of xenobiotic compounds.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated novel xenobiotic compound oxidations using laccase-mediators.
