description Multicopper oxidases, known as laccase, are a sustainable biocatalyst with efficient ability to degrade a wide range of compounds, environmentally friendly properties and promise major advances in a wide range of industries. However, the use of free laccase in industries often suffers problems, such as instability, low recovery and low reusability of enzyme. Hence, laccase immobilization on a magneticallyseparable hierarchically-ordered mesocellular mesoporous silica (M-HMMS) as the support material was optimized and characterized. In this study, three different immobilization methods used were enzyme adsorption, entrapped-crosslinked enzyme and entrapped-crosslinked enzyme aggregate. The optimum parameters for laccase immobilization were at 5 hr of crosslinking time, 100 mM glutaraldehyde concentration, 1 mg/ml laccase concentration, 60 min time of precipitation with pH 4.5 and temperature of 20 C. This optimal condition contributed to 65.03 ± 4.31 % of laccase activity recovery and enhancement by 2.6 fold. The adsorption of laccase on M-HMMS obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
