  • Title: Laccase production from sucrose by recombinant Yarrowia lipolytica and its application to decolorization of environmental pollutant dyes.

    Journal: Ecotoxicol Environ Saf; 2018 Dec 15; 165():278-283. PubMed ID: 30205329.
    Abstract:
    Laccases are used in decolorization and biodegradation of synthetic dyes, bioremediation of industrial wastewaters and delignification of lignocellulosic compounds. The aims of the present study were the optimization of a recombinant laccase production in Yarrowia lipolytica yeast using sucrose as a main carbon source, and the application of the resulting enzyme to decolorization of synthetic dyes, which are problematic environmental pollutants. Taguchi's experimental design method was employed to optimize medium compounds. Recombinant laccase production by Y. lipolytica YL4 strain increased to 900 U L-1 after optimization of sucrose, ammonium chloride, yeast extract and thiamine levels in the modified PPB medium. Furthermore, the production rate reached 6760 U L-1 in a 5 L bioreactor which represents 4.5- and 33.5-fold increases compared to cultures that were in shake-flask with optimized and primary media, respectively. The supernatant containing secreted recombinant laccase was applied for decolorization of seven dyes. The effects of pH, the amount of enzyme and incubation period were verified. The effect of incubation time on dye decolorization by recombinant laccase was important, which has an influence of greater extent than 90% after 48 h for all dyes. The Trametes versicolor laccase can be efficiently produced in Y. lipolytica and the recombinant enzyme has a considerable potential in the decolorization of pollutant synthetic dyes.
