Degradation of Synthetic Dyes by Laccases – A Mini-Review
Open accessAbstract
Laccases provide a promising future as a tool to be used in the field of biodegradation of synthetic dyes with different chemical structures. These enzymes are able to oxidize a wide range of phenolic substrates without the presence of additional co-factors. Laccases have been confirmed for their potential of synthetic dye degradation from wastewater and degradation products of these enzymatic reactions become less toxic than selected dyes. This study discusses the potential of laccase enzymes as agents for laccase-catalyzed degradation in terms of biodegradation efficiency of synthetic dyes, specifically: azo dyes, triphenylmethane, indigo and anthraquinone dyes. Review also summarizes the laccase-catalyzed degradation mechanisms of the selected synthetic dyes, as well as the degradation products and the toxicity of the dyes and their degradation products.

Among enzymes used for dye degradation, laccases are characterized by not requiring hydrogen peroxide as LiP and MnP do, nor co-factors such as NADH2, NADPH2 and FADH2 for catalysis activation as azoreductases do.
“However, among the enzymes mentioned, laccases are characterized by not requiring hydrogen peroxide as occurs with LiP and MnP, nor do they require co-factors such as NADH2, NADPH2 and FADH2 for catalysis activation as occurs with azoreductases [160].”

LC-MS has provided insight into degradation mechanisms of dyes (azo, anthraquinone, triphenylmethane and indigo) by identifying intermediate and transformation products after different stages throughout treatments.
“Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has provided insight into the degradation mechanisms of dyes (such as azo, anthraquinone, triphenylmethane and indigo) as it was possible to identify the intermediate and transformation products obtained after different stages throughout the treatments [160,286].”
From A Brief History of Colour, the Environmental Impact of Synthetic Dyes and Removal by Using Laccases (2021) · cites this paper as [160]
Azo dyes degradation with laccases begins with asymmetric excision of the azo bond followed by oxidative excision, desulfonation, deamination, demethylation or dihydroxylation, depending on dye structure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
