Laccase, through its versatile mode of action, has the potential to revolutionize the pulping and paper making industry. It not only plays a role in the delignification and brightening of the pulp but has also been described for the removal of the lipophilic extractives responsible for pitch deposition from both wood and nonwood paper pulps. Laccases are capable of improving physical, chemical, as well as mechanical properties of pulp either by forming reactive radicals with lignin or by functionalizing lignocellulosic fibers. Laccases can also target the colored and toxic compounds released as effluents from various industries and render them nontoxic through its polymerization and depolymerization reactions. This article reviews the use of both fungal and bacterial laccases in improving pulp properties and bioremediation of pulp and paper mill effluents.
漆酶通过其多功能的作用模式，有可能彻底改变制浆和造纸行业。它不仅在纸浆的脱木质素和增亮中发挥作用，而且还被描述为去除导致树脂沉积的亲脂性抽出物，无论是来自木材还是非木材纸浆。漆酶能够通过与木质素形成反应性自由基或通过对木质纤维素纤维进行官能化，来改善纸浆的物理、化学和机械性能。漆酶还可以针对各种工业排放的有色和有毒化合物，并通过其聚合和解聚反应将其转化为无毒物质。本文综述了真菌和细菌漆酶在改善纸浆性能和纸浆及造纸厂废水的生物修复中的应用。
