Role of ligninolytic enzymes for Industrial applications.

Enzyme	Substrate	Reaction	Applications
Laccase	Ortho and paradiphenols, aminophenols, polyphenols, polyamines, lignins, and aryldiamines	Oxidation, decarboxylation and demethylation of the substrate.	Paper and pulp industry, Food industry, textile industry, nanotechnology, synthetic chemistry, bioremediation, cosmetics, and so forth.
Lignin peroxidase	Halogenated phenolic compounds, polycyclic aromatic compounds and other aromatic compounds	Oxidation of substrate in the presence of cosubstrate H₂O₂ and mediator like veratryl alcohol.	Paper and pulp industry, Food industry, textile industry, pharmaceutical industry, bioremediation, and so forth.
Manganese peroxidase	Lignin and other phenolic compounds	In the presence of Mn²⁺ and H₂O₂ the co-substrate catalyzes oxidation of Mn²⁺ toMn³⁺ which results in anMn³⁺ chelate oxalate, which in turn oxidizes the phenolic substrates.	Paper and pulp industry, Food industry, textile industry, pharmaceutical industry, bioremediation, and so forth.
Versatile peroxidase	Methoxy benzenes and phenolic aromatic	The enzyme catalyzes the electron transfer from an oxidizable substrate, with the formation and reduction of compound I and compound II intermediates.	Industrial biocatalyst, Bioremediation and so forth.
Cellulase	Cellulosic substance	Hydrolyzes the substrate to simple carbohydrates.	Paper and pulp industry, Textile manufacturing, detergent production, bioremediation, and so forth.
