Immobilization of Laccase Enzyme and its Application

Focusing on the enzymatic capabilities of fungal laccases, particularly from basidiomycetes, this study highlights the production of extracellular laccase enzymes by Pleurotus ostreatus in submerged culture. It details the rapid synthesis of zinc nanoparticles from a Zn(NO3)2 solution using soluble starch, observed through precipitation methods. The resulting nanoparticles, characterized by their white color, were analyzed using various spectroscopic techniques, confirming their well-dispersed nature and average particle size through X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
