Popis: Contamination of the environment directly impacts animal, plant, and human health, as well as agricultural production. A potential solution tested in this work incorporates the use of enzymes from fungi, manganese (Mn) peroxidase (MnP) and laccase, to degrade pollutants. Unfortunately, the MnP is too expensive to produce (more than US$24,000 per gram) to be used in remediation applications. MnP from a corn kernel biofactory can be produced in large amounts, and at
