Abstract EN
The studies regarding decolorization of dyes by laccase may not only inform about the possible application of this enzyme for environmental purposes, but also may provide important information about its reaction mechanism and the influence of several factors that could be involved.
In this paper, decolorization of crystal violet and phenol red was carried out with different fractions of extracellular liquids from Trametes versicolor cultures, in order to describe the role of laccase in this reaction.
Moreover, the possible role of the low molecular weight metabolites (LMWMs) also produced by the fungus was evaluated.
The results confirm the existence of a nonenzymatic decolorization factor, since the nonprotein fraction of the extracellular liquids from cultures of T.
versicolor has shown decolorization capability.
Several experiments were performed in order to identify the main compounds related to this ability, which are probably low molecular weight peroxide compounds.
