Screening of yeast biodiversity for Laccase Production. (A) Workflow of the high-throughput laccase production screen. (B) Plots of ttLcc1 laccase activity for ~ 600 assessed strains (enzymatic activity Units). 47 hits above the 3 M.A.D. cut-off are shown in green. (C) Secondary screening with ttLcc1 (x-axis) and mtLcc1 (y-axis; mean enzymatic activity Units) using the 47 preliminary hits (n = 4). Validated hits are shown in green, reference (BY4741) in black and significance cut-offs as dashed lines. Pearson correlation of the two laccase activities in assessed strains is shown
