Enhanced decolourisation ability of laccase towards various synthetic dyes by an electrocatalysis technology.
Laccase in culture filtrates of Trametes versicolor degraded a number of structurally different dyes by about 30% after 30 min though only 5% of Azure B was degraded in 1 h and Poly R-478 and fuchsin were not degraded at all even after 24 h. However, by using enzymatic electrocatalysis technology all dyes were decolourised in about 30 to 135 min.
