Abstract:Dyes are usually difficult to be decolorized due to their complex chemical structures. In this work, laccase was purified from the white rot fungus Cerrena unicolor to evaluate its application in dye decolorization. SDS-PAGE analysis showed the purified laccase to be a monomeric protein of 63.7 kDa. The optimum pH for the oxidation of 2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiaoline-6-sufonic acid) (ABTS) was 2.2 and the optimum temperature was 50°C. The activity of the purified enzyme was strongly inhibited by sodium azide… Show more
