Box 56, Biocenter 1, FI 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland Email: [email protected] Abstract: To find out ability of fourteen basidiomycetes and four ascomycetes strains to grow in the presence of synthetic colour dyes and to degrade them, fungi were ...

Purification and Characterization of White Laccase from the White-rot Fungus Panus conchatus

Laccase is a kind of polyphenol oxidase having potential in applications for pulp bleaching, waste water treatment in mills, and removal of phenols in the food industry. The normal laccase from fungus or bacterial contains four copper atoms per protein molecular, imparting a blue color. Here it is reported that a white laccase is produced by a white rot fungus Panus conchatus from its solid-sta...

Characterization and Decolorization of Dye and Textile Effluent by Laccase from Pleurotus Florida- a White-rot Fungi

The textile industries by for the most passionate user of synthetic dyes are in need of ecoefficient solutions for its coloured effluents. The decolorization and detoxification potential of white rot fungi can be harnessed. Laccase has been utilized in biological treatment of effluents containing chemical dyes. The present study is planned to study the screening and chrecterization of laccase f...

Studies on the laccase-mediated decolorization, kinetic, and microtoxicity of some synthetic azo dyes

BACKGROUND Enzymatic elimination of synthetic dyes, one of the most environmentally hazardous chemicals, has gained a great interest during the two last decades. The present study was performed to evaluate the decolorization and detoxification potential of the purified laccase of Paraconiothyrium variabile in both non-assisted and hydroxybenzotriazole-aided form against six azo dyes. RESULTS ...
