Laccase from Pleurotus sajor-caju on functionalised SBA-15 mesoporous silica: Immobilisation and use for the oxidation of phenolic compounds

Laccase immobilization over multi-walled carbon nanotubes: Kinetic, thermodynamic and stability studies

“…4a, thirty minutes were enough to attain the maximum enzyme immobilization. Works found in literature regarding laccase immobilization on different supports report the necessity of much higher contact times for achieving the maximum immobilization even using lower enzyme concentrations: 48 h for Eupergit Ò C [29]; 24 h for activated carbon [29]; 3.5 h for spent grain [30]; 5 h for silica [31]; 24 h for chitosan [32]; overnight for mesoporous silica [33].…”

Magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles: Fabrication and their laccase immobilization performance

“…A couple of mesoporous silica materials with ordered or disordered pore structure have been reported recently, such as SBA-15 mesoporous silica, MCM-41 mesoporous silica and mesostructured celluar foams (Salis et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2009;Rekuc et al, 2009;Zhu et al, 2007). Among these mesoporous silica materials, the large-pore silica mesophases with three-dimensional wormhole framework structures exhibited excellent activity of enzymatic catalysis due to highly accessible reaction sites available on the pore surfaces (Park et al, 2005).…”

Evaluation of tertiary treatment by fungi, enzymatic and photo-Fenton oxidation on the removal of phenols from a kraft pulp mill effluent: a comparative study

“…This order was not observed in BKPME samples treated with R. oryzae since 100% of removal was achieved after 7 days of treatment but with P. sajor caju treatment or laccase, in general the same order of percentage removal was achieved. According to Salis et al (2008), laccase is the enzyme responsible for phenolic compounds oxidation in P. sajor caju.…”
