Abstract
Laccases (p-diphenol: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2) are multi-copper
polyphenolic oxidases that oxidize many phenolic and non-phenolic aromatic compounds
such as amino or methoxy monophenols, syringaldazine, ABTS and amino or methoxy
monophenols. They have been depicted in various species of bacteria, plants and in different
genera of fungi. Laccases have been purified by various methods. It involves in di-oxygen to
water reduction and 1e- oxidation of phenolic and its allied parts. Laccases are mostly used
in different industries like food, paper and pulp, pharmaceutical and textile etc. Both laccases
and mediators have been used in different process like delignification of pulp. Laccases from
bacterial species are used in dye decolouration and biobleaching processes. This review article
describes the whole overview of laccases.
