Abstract

Laccases are versatile oxidases that are capable of decolorizing various synthetic dyes. Recombinant Bacillus amyloliquefaciens laccase was immobilized as magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (M-CLEAs) for application in dye decolorization. Several parameters influencing the activity recovery were evaluated during the synthesis of M-CLEAs. With ammonium sulfate as precipitant, maximum activity was recovered by cross-linking with 0.16% glutaraldehyde for 1 h. The prepared M-CLEAs exhibited improved activity under alkaline conditions. It remained 74% activity after incubation at 60 °C for 5 h. Enhanced tolerance towards NaCl was also observed for the M-CLEAs, with 68% activity remaining in the presence of 1 M NaCl. The immobilized laccase could rapidly decolorize more than 93% of reactive black 5 and indigo carmine in 1 h, while its catalytic efficiency towards reactive blue 19 was relatively low. After four cycles of consecutive reuse, the M-CLEAs could decolorize 92% of indigo carmine. The easy recovery and reusability of M-CLEAs facilitate the potential application of bacterial laccase in dye decolorization.
