Biocatalysis in Ionic Liquid: Degradation of Phenol by Laccase

Friedel-Crafts alkylation of Phenol using Ionic Liquid as Catalyst

Silylation of alcohols and phenols by HMDS in the presence of ionic liquid and silica-supported ionic liquids

In this research, different alcohols and phenols are subjected to the reaction with HMDS in the presence of ionic liquid and silica-supported catalysts. Silylation was accomplished under mild reaction conditions at room temperature in short reaction times and good to excellent yields.

Functional Surface Display of Laccase in a Phenol-Inducible Bacterial Circuit for Bioremediation Purposes

Background: Phenolic compounds, which are produced routinely by industrial and urban activities, possess dangers to live organisms and environment. Laccases are oxidoreductase enzymes with the ability of remediating a wide variety of phenolic compounds to more benign molecules. The purpose of the present research is surface display of a laccase enzyme with adhesin involved in diffuse adhesion (...

Biobleaching of Flax by Degradation of Lignin with Laccase

Research on lignin biodegradation has become of great interest, due to the fact that lignin is one of the most abundant renewable materials, next to cellulose. Lignin is also the substance that gives color to raw flax fibers. In order to bleach the flax and to keep its tenacity high enough for textile applications, it is necessary to remove the lignin and partially to preserve the pectin. Ligni...
