In this chapter, we discuss recent progress that has been made in employing white-rot basidiomycetes in biotechnological applications for transforming agricultural wastes, as well as in the degradation of recalcitrant compounds causing environmental problems, focusing on the role of laccases in the processes of revalorization, bioremediation, and detoxification of wastes and wastewater.
