Low relevanceCombinatorial evaluation of laccase-mediator system in the oxidation of veratryl alcohol.
Trametes versicolor
Key points
- Laccases play an important role in the biological break down of lignin and have great potential in the deconstruction of lignocellulosic feedstocks
- We examined 16 laccases, both commercially prepared and crude extracts, for their ability to oxidize veratryl alcohol in the presence of various solvents and mediators
- Screening revealed complete conversion of veratryl alcohol to veratraldehyde catalyzed by a crude preparation of the laccase from Trametes versicolor ATCC 11235 and the mediator TEMPO in 20 % (v/v) tert-butanol

Screening revealed complete conversion of veratryl alcohol to veratraldehyde catalyzed by a crude preparation of the laccase from Trametes versicolor ATCC 11235 and the mediator TEMPO in 20 % (v/v) tert-butanol.
