Abstract

Ligninolytic enzymes play a crucial role in the carbon cycle on account of their ability to degrade the macromolecule lignin. Versatile peroxidase is a high redox potential enzyme of the lignin degrading family of enzymes widely studied for its unique characteristics of degradation of aromatics without use of redox mediators and presence of polyvalent catalytic sites. These traits make them useful in diverse biotechnological and industrial applications which include textile bleaching, production of bioethanol, bioremediation of xenobiotic compounds, degradation of EDCs and in enhancing the digestibility of animal feed. In this article the features of versatile peroxidases and their potential industrial and biotechnological applications are highlighted.
