The laccase enzymes are receiving much attention from researchers around the globe due to their specific nature. The interest in utilizing laccases for many biotechnological and industrial applications has increased rapidly since the discovery of this enzyme in white‐rot fungi. Emerging technologies include selective delignification in the production of cellulosics in pulp bleaching, biosensors, and biofuel, and in the treatment of environmental pollutants and toxicants generated in various industrial processes. Therefore, laccases have been widely studied for various applications, including the bioremediation of soil and contaminated effluents as well as their use in biosensors. This chapter shows that laccase has a great potential application in environmental protection. However, much more research is required to make use of laccases to protect the environment and in other industrial applications.
