Thermostable Bacterial Laccase: Catalytic Properties and Its Application in Biotransformation of Emerging Pollutants.

ABSTRACT: Laccases have been predominantly reported in fungi, and primarily, fungal laccases are currently exploited in industrial applications. However, extremophilic bacterial laccases possess immense potential, as they can withstand extreme temperatures, pH, and salt concentrations. In addition, unlike fungal laccases, the production of bacterial laccases is cost-effective. Therefore, bacterial laccases are gaining significant attention for their large-scale applications. Previously, we reported a novel thermostable laccase (LacT) from Brevibacillus agri. Herein, we have confirmed that LacT shares a high sequence similarity with CotA laccase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Peptide mass fingerprinting of LacT was conducted via matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flig
