Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a novel strategy for designing immobilized enzyme derivatives (RDID) to predict protein behavior before synthesis, using mathematical algorithms and bioinformatics tools.
- The focus is on validating the RDID approach for the covalent immobilization of laccase enzyme from Trametes maxima onto specific supports, with predictions being confirmed through experimental results.
- Results show that the laccase-MANA-Sepharose CL 4B derivative has significantly higher activity than its counterpart (63.6% vs. 29.5%) and is effective for wastewater treatment, highlighting its potential as a biocatalyst.

The analysis of the total microbial genomic DNA allows the detailed determination of both the microbial community structure and its functionality. In addition, it enables to study the response of the microbiome to alterations in technical process parameters.

A biotechnological approach to remove such compounds from polluted ecosystems could be based on the use of white-rot fungi (WRF). The potential of well-adapted indigenous Ganoderma strains to degrade PAHs remains underexplored.
