The fungal strain FBV40 was isolated from soil containing decayed wood in Ba Vi National Forest and capable of producing an extracellular laccase in the TSH1 medium. Two isozyme such as Lac1 and Lac2 were purified were estimated to be 55 and 60 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzymatic activity of Lac1 were 3.0 and 60°C with ABTS using as the substrate. Kinetic constants K m and V max of Lac 1 were 0.3 µM and 200,000 µM/mins with ABTS as substrate. Cl -, SDS, and EDTA at any concentration (2 mM; 5 mM and 10 mM) strongly inhibited the activity of laccase. The enzyme was stable in the presence of several metal ions including Ni 2+ (1 mM), Cu 2+ (1 mM and 3 mM), Ca 2+ (3 mM and 4 mM); in the presence of Cu 2+ (2 mM) and Ca 2+ (0.5 mM, 1.0 mM and 2.0 mM), laccase even showed the increase in the activity. The presence of metal ions Mn 2+ , Mg 2+ , Fe 2+ completely inhibited the enzymatic activity at any examined concentration. The crude enzyme, as well as Lac 1, was able to decolourization MN.FBN dye from the textile industry from Ministry of Defence. This strain was able to degrade 2,3,7,8-TCDD isotop with initial concentration 2,000 ng-TEQ/L at rates over 46.8 % after ten days cultivation in the TSH1 medium. In the presence of three strains FBV40, FBVLa1 and FBD154 with the ratio 1:1:1, the degradation of this congener was achieved more than 95 % at the same time cultivation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
