Co-immobilized spore laccase/TiO nanoparticles in the alginate beads enhance dye removal by two-step decolorization.

Combinatorial application of different dye removal methods with specific features can lead to a novel and robust decolorizing system. In this study the bacterial spore laccase and TiO nanoparticles were co-entrapped to enhance dye degradation. The optimum entrapment conditions were achieved in the presence of alginate 2% (w/v) and Ca (0.
