Article Abstract
The usefulness of bacterial cellulose (BC), obtained from the cultures of Komagataeibacter xylinus exposed to rotating magnetic field (RMF), as a carrier for laccase immobilization was investigated in this study. It was found that the highest yield of laccase immobilization (>70%) was achieved in pH of 4.0 and this value was optimal in the case of both types of cellulose carriers applied. The pH equals 4.0 was also the optimal one with regard to immobilized enzymes' activity, while in case of free laccase, optimal pH value was 3.0. Process of immobilization had an impact on enzyme's optimal temperatures: while free laccase and laccase bound to RMF-unexposed cellulose was the most effective at 60°C, optimal activity of enzyme immobilized on RMF-exposed carrier was reached at 70°C. Laccase immobilized on both type of carriers had also better thermal stability at 70°C compared to free laccase. After 8 cycles of use, laccase immobilized on RMF-exposed BC remained more active than laccase immobilized on RMF-unexposed BC (65% vs. 50% of initial activity, respectively). Our results indicate that RMF-modified BC may be successfully used as a carrier for the laccase immobilization.

The extensive use of azo dyes in the textile industry poses serious environmental and health hazards due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, largely stemming from the stability of their azo bonds (-NN-) which resist natural degradation. Enzymatic azo dye degradation using laccases offers an eco-friendly solution. However, the limited operational stability and reusability of free (non-immobilized) laccases in continuous degradation systems hinders their industrial application.

This study introduces a reusable cryogenic column system immobilized with laccase enzyme (laccase-M) for the sustainable synthesis of a novel tyrosine-based crosslinker, dityrosine-dimethacrylate (Dityr-diMA). By leveraging methacrylated tyrosine (Tyr-MA) as a biocatalytic platform, the laccase-M column enables efficient polymerization via oxidative coupling, eliminating the need for toxic photoinitiators or metal catalysts. Compared to conventional HEMA-based columns, the laccase-M system achieved a 19.

Aiming to address the key challenges of poor enzyme stability, difficult recovery, and difficult synergistic optimization of catalytic efficiency in high-value conversion of biomass, this study utilizes mineralization self-assembly technology to combine laccase with FeO@SiO-PMIDA-Cu composite, constructing magnetic laccase nanoflower (MLac-NFs) materials with a porous structure and superparamagnetism. This synthetic material can efficiently catalyze the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The characterization results indicated that MLac-NFs exhibit optimal catalytic activity (63.

In this study, a polyethylene/polypropylene (PEPP) nonwoven material was developed as a support for laccase immobilization through a low-temperature ammonia plasma pretreatment technique. For this purpose, the optimal glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linking conditions and laccase immobilization parameters for ammonia plasma-treated PEPP nonwoven were systematically optimized, and the stability of the treated PEPP nonwoven was evaluated under these optimal conditions. Furthermore, the potential applicability of PEPP nonwoven in wastewater treatment was assessed by examining its decolorization efficiency in solutions containing two synthetic dyes, C.
