  abstract = {{L}accases ({EC} 1.10.3.2) are phenoloxidases involved in the transformation of the recalcitrant fraction of organic matter in soil. {T}hese enzymes are also able to transform certain aromatic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ({PAH}s) and are known to be inhibited by chloride ions. {T}his study aims to test the potential of some fungal strains newly isolated from natural environments subjected to high osmotic pressure such as coastal ecosystems, to produce chloride tolerant laccases. {T}hree strains were identified as {C}haetomium sp., {X}ylogone sphaerospora (two {A}scomycota), and {C}oprinopsis sp. (a {B}asidiomycota) and the laccases produced by these fungi were weakly inhibited by chloride ions compared with previous data from literature. {M}oreover, we tested their reactivity towards various {PAH}s which are widespread anthropic pollutants. {T}hey were able to transform anthracene to 9,10-anthraquinone and we determine 7.5 e{V} as the threshold of ionization potential for {PAH} oxidation by these laccases.},
