Broad thermal spectrum metagenomic laccase with action for dye decolorization and fentin hydroxide treatment.

ABSTRACT: Laccases are multicopper oxidases that act on various phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, enabling numerous applications including xenobiotic bioremediation, biofuel production, drug development, and cosmetic production, and they can be used as additives in the textile and food industries. This wide range of uses makes these enzymes extremely attractive for novel biotechnology applications. Here, we undertook the kinetic characterization of LacMeta, a predicted as homotrimeric (~ 107,93 kDa) small laccase, and demonstrated that this enzyme performs best at an acidic pH (pH 3-5) towards ABTS as substrate and has a broad thermal spectrum (10-60 °C), which can promote high plastic action potential through dynamic environmental temperature fluctuations. This enzyme showed following kinetic pa
