Fungal Laccases and Their Applications in Bioremediation

Table 3

Laccase production in heterologous hosts [252].

Laccase gene	Production host	Laccase production (mgL^−1)*
Ceriporiopsis subvermispora lcs-1	Aspergillus nidulans	1.5
	Aspergillus niger	1.5
Coprinus cinereus lcc1	Aspergillus oryzae	135
Myceliophthora thermophila lcc1	Aspergillus oryzae	19
	Saccharomyces cerevisiae	18
Phlebia radiata lac1	Trichoderma reesei	20
Pleurotus sajor-caju lac4	Pichia pastoris	4.9
Pycnoporus cinnabarinus lac1	Pichia pastoris	8
	Aspergillus niger	70
	Aspergillus oryzae	80

∗The reported production levels have been obtained in shake flask cultivations, except in the case of Phlebia radiata laccase which was produced in a laboratory fermentor.
