Abstract
⺠Endocrine disruptors cause adverse effects in living organisms. ⺠Nonylphenol and Octylphenol are alkylphenols recognized as endocrine disruptors. ⺠It is necessary to remove or reduce their presence in the environment. ⺠Waters polluted by these pollutants have been bioremediated by immobilized laccase from Trametes versicolor. ⺠Laccase treated solutions were found to have lost any estrogenic activity.
