Extracellular laccase production and its optimization from Arthrospira maxima catalyzed decolorization of synthetic dyes

In the present study laccase production potential of a photosynthetic, non nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria (SAE-25780) was investigated for their probable use in synthetic dye decolorization which poses environmental pollution problem in aquatic bodies.

Description
Summary:In the present study laccase production potential of a photosynthetic, non nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria (SAE-25780) was investigated for their probable use in synthetic dye decolorization which poses environmental pollution problem in aquatic bodies. (SAE-25780) showed a constitutive production of laccase which increased up to 80% in the presence of inducer guaiacol. The optimal condition for laccase was 30 °C, 10 mM sucrose as a carbon source, 10 mM sodium nitrate as a nitrogen source, and 2 mM copper as metal activator. The partially purified laccase showed 84% and 49% decolorization potential for the two anthroquinonic dyes-Reactive Blue 4 and Remazol Brilliant Blue R, respectively (RBBR) within 96 h without any mediator. Therefore the laccase extracted from . (SAE-25780) can be used efficiently in bioremediation of synthetic dyes from paper, pulp and textile industries.
