The oxidation reaction of phenols and 4-aminoantipyrene is getting a lot of attention due to environmental concerns. Oxidation of simple phenol and 4-aminoantipyrene as a benchmark reaction enabled us to rank the relative oxidation ability of various laccases. Among the laccases tested, laccase from Keywords: antipyrilquinoneimine dyes; aqueous medium; basidiomycetous fungi; environmentally benign; phenols eProduct: Buy this article for £24.00 (IWA MEMBER PRICE: £18.00) All prices include VAT.
