Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Differential Gene Expression of Laccase Genes in Aspergillus terreus KC462061 during Biodegradation of Crude Oil.

ABSTRACT: Fungal laccases have high catalytic efficiency and are utilized for the removal of crude oil because they oxidize various aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and convert them into harmless compounds or less toxic compounds, thus accelerating the biodegradation potential of crude oil. Laccases are important gene families and the function of laccases genes varied widely based on transcription and function. Biodegradation of crude oil using Aspergillus terreus KC462061 was studied in the current study beside the transcription level of eight laccase (Lcc) genes have participated in biodegradation in the presence of aromatic compounds, and metal ions. Time-course profiles of laccase activity in the presence of crude oil indicated that the five inducers individual or combined have a very positiv
