Abstract
Laccases are extensively used in the textile industry due to their ability to decolorize dyes, modify fabric surfaces, and bleach textiles. Identifying a laccase with both high thermal stability and alkali tolerance suitable for textile applications presents a significant challenge. A novel alkaline laccase, LacCT, was discovered from Caldalkalibacillus thermarum and successfully expressed it in Escherichia coli. LacCT displayed optimal activity at 65°C and maintained high stability across a pH range of 6.0–10.0, with an optimal pH of 7.5. Through rational design, the thermal stability of the best variant, G190P/Q254Y/G336M/D510F (LacCT-11), was significantly enhanced, resulting in a half-life of 63.2 min at 60°C – 1.8 times longer than that of the wild type. This research introduces a promising new laccase with considerable potential for decolorizing textile wastewater and improving the ramie degumming process.

期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Journal (2019 Journal Citation Reports: 3.543) is fully comprehensive in its scope and publishes strictly peer-reviewed papers covering novel aspects and methods in all areas of biotechnology. Some issues are devoted to a special topic, providing the latest information on the most crucial areas of research and technological advances.
In addition to these special issues, the journal welcomes unsolicited submissions for primary research articles, such as Research Articles, Rapid Communications and Biotech Methods. BTJ also welcomes proposals of Review Articles - please send in a brief outline of the article and the senior author''s CV to the editorial office.
BTJ promotes a special emphasis on:
Systems Biotechnology
Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering
Nanobiotechnology and Biomaterials
Tissue engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem cells
Gene Editing, Gene therapy and Immunotherapy
Omics technologies
Industrial Biotechnology, Biopharmaceuticals and Biocatalysis
Bioprocess engineering and Downstream processing
Plant Biotechnology
