Production, Characterization and Immobilization of Laccase Enzyme from Bacillus cereus Local Isolate
In this study, fifty five soil samples were collected from different locations in Baghdad city. Many Gram positive and negative bacterial isolates were obtained;of which 39 were identified as Bacillus spp. upon subjecting to morphological and microscopic tests. Laccase enzyme activity was determined by quantitative methods using a syringaldazine as substrate for growth of these isolates. Results indicated that 17 of these isolates were laccase producer with different specific activity ranged between 98-600U/mg protein.
