      Bioinformatics has revealed the presence of putative laccase genes in diverse bacteria, including extremophiles, autotrophs, and, interestingly, anaerobes. Integrity of laccase genes in anaerobes has been questioned, since laccases oxidize a variety of compounds using molecular oxygen as the electron acceptor. The genome of the anaerobe Geobacter metallireducens GS-15 contains five genes for laccase-like multicopper oxidases. In order to show whether one of the predicted genes encodes a functional laccase, the protein encoded by GMET_RS10855 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli cells. The His 6 -tagged enzyme (named GeoLacc) was purified to a large extent in the apoprotein, inactive form: incubation with CuSO 4 allowed a 43-fold increase of the specific activity yielding a metallo-enzyme. The purified enzyme oxidized some of the typical laccase substrates, including 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), syringaldazine, and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP), along with pyrogallol and K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ]. Temperature optimum was 75 °C and pH optimum for ABTS and 2,6-DMP oxidation was ~ 6.0. As observed for other laccases, the enzyme was inhibited by halide anions and was sensitive to increasing concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide and Tween-80. Notably, GeoLacc possesses a very high affinity for dioxygen: a similar activity was measured performing the reaction at air-saturated or microaerophilic conditions.
