Zusammenfassung:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are pervasive and persistent pollutants in contaminated soil, posing a severe health and environmental threat. Enzymatic bioremediation presents a viable solution for the remediation of PAH-contaminated soil. In this study, a recombinant laccase with the encoding gene originating from Trametes villosa and recombinantly expressed in Aspergillus oryzae, designated as TVL, was discovered to possess strong PAH reduction capabilities. The specific enzyme activity of TVL was 73485 and 5102 LAMU/g enzyme protein at pH 5.0/7.0 and 37°C. Furthermore, it exhibited significant benzo[a]pyrene degradation, with 100% and 90.48% degradation at pH 5.0/7.0 after 24 h in the liquid phase. The degradation process of benzo[a]pyrene in soil was thoroughly investigated. Optimal conditions were identified as 15 mg/g NK-BSoil-3 and 1.35 mg/g HBT, resulting in a removal rate of 37.54% within 7 days when 0.01 U/g of TVL was applied. The potential mechanisms were investigated using molecular docking simulation. The binding energy between benzo[a]pyrene and TVL protein is notably robust, suggesting a higher propensity for enzyme binding. The TVL protein pocket contains nine amino acids that can interact most strongly with benzo[a]pyrene. Consequently, the recombinant laccase TVL holds considerable practical significance in bioremediation
