We successfully produced purified and identified active laccases of
E. coli BL21(CueO named ECOL),
Bacillus pumilus DSM 27 laccase (CotA named BPUL),
Bacillus halodurans C-125 laccase (Lbh1 named BHAL) and
Thermus thermophilus HB27 (tthL named TTHL).
Results ECOL
Results BPUL
Results TTHL
Results BHAL
We successfully designed a shuttle vector for site-directed integration in
P. pastoris which allows the production and secretion of a protein of interest. We were able to show that the vector is functioning as expected.
Results
We successfully produced the laccase TVEL5 from
Trametes versicolor in
P. pastoris and showed the activity of the produced enzymes.
Results
Successful characterization of the activity of all four bacterial laccases regarding the oxidization of ABTS under different conditions.

We established a method for the degradation of several compounds with the help of our self-produced laccases. The HPLC analysis showed that our produced bacterial laccases are able to degrade estradiol with and without addition of ABTS. BPUL is able to degrade ethinyl estradiol with addition of ABTS. LC-MS measurements showed degradation products which could not be identified but were further analyzed using MS/MS. The resulting products have been discussed with an organic chemist.
Results
We successfully immobilized
Trametes versicolor laccase (named TVEL0),
E. coli BL21 laccase (CueO named ECOL) and
Bacillus pumilus DSM 27 laccase (CotA named BPUL) and measured their activity.
Results TVEL0
Results ECOL
Results BPUL
We successfully improved a BioBrick by clarifying its true function.
