Enzyme-mediated dye degradation

Enzyme-mediated dye degradation is a research topic within Plant Science. Science Explorer counts 17k research works in it since 1950. 30.8% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the enzymatic degradation of lignin and the bioremediation of textile wastewaters through processes such as laccases, peroxidases, and fungal genomes. It explores the decolorization and detoxification of synthetic dyes, the potential applications of oxidative enzymes, and the role of white-rot fungi in the treatment of industrial dye effluents.
