Abstract

Laccases exhibit a wide range of applications, especially in the electrochemical field, where they are regarded as a potential biotic component. Laccase-based biosensors have immense practical applications in the food, environmental, and medical fields. The application of laccases as biocathodes in enzymatic biofuel cells has promising potential in the preparation of implantable equipment. Extensive studies have been directed towards the potential role of fungal laccases as biotic components of electrochemical equipment. In contrast, the potential of prokaryotic laccases in electrochemistry has been not fully understood. However, there has been recent and rapid progress in the discovery and characterization of new types of prokaryotic laccases. In this review, we have comprehensively discussed the application of different sources of laccases as a biocatalytic component in various fields of application. Further, we described the potential of different types of laccases in bioelectrochemical applications.
