Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2) are a class of metallo-oxidases found in a variety of fungi, plants, and bacteria as well as in certain insects. They can oxidize a wide variety of organic compounds and can be widely applied in many fields, especially in the field of biodegradation and detoxification of environmental pollutants. The practical efficacy of laccases depends on their ability to capture the target substance as well as their catalytic activity, which is related to their catalytic center, substrate selectivity, and substrate tolerance. Over the past few decades, many laccases have been identified in plants and fungi. Concurrently, bacterial laccases have received increasing attention because of their high thermostability and high tolerance to organic compounds. The aim of this review is to summarize the role of bacterial laccases in the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons and to outline the correlation between the molecular structure of the mononuclear T1 Cu center of bacterial laccases and their substrate preference.
