Laccase (EC 1.10.3.1) has broad enzyme specificity that imparts high application potential for its applications in various fields such as bioremediation, textile, pulp and paper , food and beverage, cosmetics and organic synthesis. Laccase production is difficult as it is produced in the idiophase when cell metabolism is slow. Low intrinsic production and long fermentation cycle increase laccase production cost, The CSIR-IMTECH process has addressed some issues in the production of laccase and using a novel strain, a reliable process for the production of high redox potential laccase has been developed. The laccase has been tested in industrial environment and has been found to give good performance in denim bleaching. Applications: Bioremediation: degradation of textile dyes, removal of endocrine disrupting substances (EDS)such as Bisphenol, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) , Textile industry (Bleaching of denim) , Pulp and paper industry (Kraft pulp brightening) , Biofuel ( increasing efficiency of cellulolytic enzymes, Cosmetic (deodorants) , Medical (in situ release of iodine) , Organic synthesis (Polymerization and synthesis of drug intermediates)
