High redox potential laccases from the ligninolytic fungi<i>Pycnoporus coccineus</i>and<i>Pycnoporus sanguineus</i>suitable for white biotechnology: from gene cloning to enzyme characterization and applications

Abstract

This study identified P. coccineus and P. sanguineus as outstanding producers of high redox potential laccases, easy to purify and scale-up for industrial production. Three new laccases proved to be suitable models for white biotechnology processes and for further molecular breeding to create a new generation of tailor-made enzymes.
