Efficient Degradation of Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> and Zearalenone by Laccase-like Multicopper Oxidase from <i>Streptomyces thermocarboxydus</i> in the Presence of Mediators

Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) are a diverse group of enzymes that could catalyze the oxidation of different xenobiotic compounds, with simultaneous reduction in oxygen to water. Aside from laccase, one member of the MCO superfamily has shown great potential in the biodegradation of mycotoxins; however...

Efficient Degradation of Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> and Zearalenone by Laccase-like Multicopper Oxidase from <i>Streptomyces thermocarboxydus</i> in the Presence of Mediators
