Micro-nano bubbles assisted laccase for biocatalytic degradation of bisphenols

Bisphenols are important industrial materials for example for the production of plastics, but are also well known for their adverse health effects, in particular bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor. The widespread use of plastics has raised concerns. Therefore, the removal of bisphenols from wastewater has sparked the interest of the...

Expression of a new laccase from Moniliophthora roreri at high levels in Pichia pastoris and its potential application in micropollutant degradation

Laccases have gained significant attention due to their emerging applications including bioremediation, biomass degradation and biofuel cells. One of the prerequisites for the industrial application of laccases is their sufficient availability. However, expression levels of recombinantly expressed laccases are often low. In this study Mrl2, a...
