Abstract : Laccase is an example of multicopper enzymes and it is blue in colour. Itcatalyses oxidation reaction via one
electron transfer. The laccase converts oxygen to the water with electronic reduction. Thelaccaseisconservationist,
sustainable, environmentallysound, multifaceted and flexible biocatalyst and these properties makes it an interesting area of
research in the field of biotechnology. Laccases are also used in industries such as processedfood, beverage industry and in
the field of the medical diagnosis. Laccases are used in the construction of furniture because they have the properties of
cross-linkingand are also useful in the production biofuel from lignocellulosics. The bioremediation methods of chemical,
physical and biological origin have been employed to keep the environment clean and pollution free, but these methods were
proven to be insufficient to clean the environment. Bioremediation which is based on the enzyme is a versatile approach. The
xenobiotic compounds are uncooperative and intractable and their bioremediation is done on the basis of enzymatic
degradation. Several microbial enzymes were taken from different sources and were characterized. The bioremediation
capability has led to the isolation of the various microbial enzymes. A large number of the recombinant enzymes have been
formed due to high potentiality and the prospects of genetic engineering. The stability and enzyme activity of the enzymes
can be enhanced by enzyme immobilization.
