Expression, secretion and functional characterization of three laccases in .

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are a group of molecules that can influence hormonal balance, causing disturbance of the reproductive system and other health problems. Despite the efforts to eliminate EDC in the environment, all current approaches are inefficient and expensive. In previous research, studies revealed that laccase-producing microorganisms may be a potential candidate for EDC degradation, as laccases have been found to be able to degrade many kinds of EDCs effectively and steadily.
