  • Team Activity Tests: For some pre test and characterization for our future laccase activity standard we ordered [http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sigma/53739?lang=de&region=DE laccase] from Trametes versicolor. As well we had to order a substrate that the laccase could use to demonstrate its abilities. According to the literature [http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sigma/a1888?lang=de&region=DE ABTS] is a well working substrate to characterize oxidizing enzym activity. So we ordered.
