Assessment of the joint effect of laccase and cellobiose dehydrogenase on the decolouration of different synthetic dyes
In this paper the efficiency of the combined action of laccase and cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) to decolourise different synthetic dyes such as Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR), Methyl Green (MG), Direct Violet (DV), Ponceau Xylidine (PX), Bismark Brown (BB) and Poly R-478 (PR) was assessed. It was found that the use of CDH could be a promising alternative to the utilisation of the expensive and poisonous chemical mediators such as HOBT although much research on this topic remains still to be done.
