Production, Purification and Immobilization of Laccase from HBB 7328 for its Role in Decolorization of Textile Dyes.

Laccase is an extracellular enzyme that is widely used in the decolonization of textile dyes in waste water. The aim of our study was to isolate, purify, characterize and immobilize the laccase enzyme produced by HBB 7328. Purified laccase enzyme was immobilized in polyacrylamide gel to explore its ability in decolonization of textile dyes.
