Abstract
Agricultural soil contamination is one of the major global environmental problems, with direct effects on ecosystem quality, agricultural productivity, and human health. Among the methods for remediating contaminated soils, bioremediation is one of the most economical and environmentally favorable innovation. Laccases, enzymes produced by fungi, bacteria, and certain plants, are especially valuable because they can degrade a wide range of hazardous organic pollutants by simple oxidation reactions. This review summarizes the bioremediation concept, the most recent developments in soil bioremediation, and the environmental importance of this concept. Also, the article presents the action mechanisms of laccases, the life cycle analysis for bioremediation systems with laccases, providing a comprehensive overview for future developments.
