Laccases have enormous potential as promising 'green' biocatalysts in environmental applications including wastewater treatment and polluted soil bioremediation. The catalytic oxidation reaction they perform uses only molecular oxygen without other cofactors, and the only product after the reaction is water. The immobilization of laccase offers several improvements such as protected activity and enhanced stability over free laccase. In addition, the reusability of immobilized laccase is adistinct advantage for future applications. This review covers the sources of and progress in laccase research, and discusses the different methodologies of laccase immobilization that have emerged in the recent 5-10 years, as well as its applications to environmental fields, and evaluates these emerging technologies.
