    High-cyclic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), with complex fused aromatic structures, are widespread, refractory and harmful in soil, but the current remediation technologies for high-cyclic PAHs are often inefficient and costly. This study focused on the biodegradation process of high-cyclic benzoapyrene by Trametes versicolor crude enzymes. The crude enzymes exhibited high laccase activity (22112 U/L) and benzoapyrene degradation efficiency (42.21%) within a short reaction time. Through the actual degradation and degradation kinetics, the degradation efficiency of PAHs decreased with the increase of aromatic rings. And the degradation conditions (temperature, pH, Cu 2+ concentration, mediator) were systematically optimised. The optimum degradation conditions (1.5 mM Cu 2+ , 28℃ and pH 6) showed significant degradation efficiency for the low and medium concentrations of benzoapyrene. In addition, complete degradation of benzoapyrene could be achieved using only 0.2 mM of HBT mediator compared with crude enzymes alone. Collectively, these results showed the high-cyclic PAHs degradation potential of Trametes versicolor crude enzymes, and provided references to evaluate applicable prospects of white rot fungus crude enzymes in PAHs-contaminated soils.
