A white rot fungus produced a laccase enzyme that was purified using different methods. The purified laccase had a molecular weight of 62 kD and an optimum pH of 4.5. It worked best at 50℃ and could break down a chemical called 2,6-dimethoxyphenol. The laccase was affected by different metal ions, with some enhancing its activity and others inhibiting it. It could also remove color from certain dyes like Remazol brilliant blue R and carmoisine.
