Popis: A novel immobilisation system was developed for dye decolorisation using laccase produced by Ganoderma sp. KU-Alk4. The enzyme showed high efficiency in dye decolorisation when entrapped in Cu–Al and Cu-alginate beads. The former gave the highest activity but the enzyme activity survived longer in the latter. An experimental design of two 3 × 3 Latin Square experiments was applied to evaluate the effects of three different alginate compositions (low, intermediate and high mannuronate), concentration of alginate, (1.5, 3.0 and 4.5% w/v) and concentration of cross-linking agent, CuSO4 (0.075, 0.15 and 0.225 M) on the decolorisation of indigo carmine dye and residual laccase activity in beads. The most significant factor for residual activity was the concentration of the cross-linking agent (P
