Interaction of fungal laccases and laccase-mediator systems with lignin
The interaction between fungal laccases from Trametes basidiomycetes and different lignins has been studied using electrochemical and chromatographic methods. The kinetic parameters for the oxidation reaction of hydroquinone and for Kraft lignin by molecular oxygen catalysed by Trametes hirsuta laccase have been investigated. Polymerisation of lignin by laccase was shown. The process was independe
