This Microbiology Monographs volume covers current and most recent advances of laccase applications in bioremediation and waste valorisation. Starting with three chapters providing general and comprehensive introductions of fungal and bacterial laccases (i.e. the two most important enzyme groups from the application viewpoint) and their practical applicability for bioremediation and lignocellulosic waste valorisation, subsequent chapters deal with possible combinations of laccases and further potentially collaborating enzymes, in-depth insights into laccase immobilisation for wastewater treatment and environmental biosensor applications of laccases. Finally, the quest for enzymes with improved and better fitting properties is addressed in two chapters covering laccase engineering by directed and computational evolution, and novel enzymes from extreme environments, respectively. Thus, making this volume a fascinating read for both Microbiologists in the industry and in academia.
