Abstract
Laccases belongs to multinuclear copper containing oxidase and can act as a variety of aromatic and non-aromatic compounds. Due to their broad substrate specificity, they are considered as a promising candidate in various industrial and biotechnological sectors. They are regarded as a green catalyst in biotechnology. The present review focuses on structure, reaction mechanism, categories, applications, economic feasibility, limitations, and future prospects of fungal laccases. Thus, this review would help in understanding laccases along with the areas, whichhas not been focused and requires attention. Since past, immense work has been carried out on laccases: yet, new discoveries and application are ever increasing which includes biofuel, biosensor, fiber board synthesis, bioremediation, clinical, textile industry, food, cosmetics, and many more.
