Abstract
⺠The mechanism for phenolics oxidation by bacterial laccases is proposed for the first time. ⺠The efficiency of laccase-mediator system using phenolics is independent of the enzymes properties. ⺠Reactivity vs. stability of phenoxy radicals is a key issue in the laccase-mediator systems. ⺠C-O coupling products were identified from a newly putative radical coupling route. ⺠A catalytic cycle of laccase-mediator systems with an interplay of competitive routes is proposed.
