  The transport properties of a large-spin molecule strongly coupled to
ferromagnetic leads in the presence of transverse magnetic anisotropy are
studied theoretically. The relevant spectral functions, linear-response
conductance and the tunnel magnetoresistance are calculated by means of the
numerical renormalization group method. We study the dependence of transport
characteristics on orbital level position, uniaxial and transverse
anisotropies, external magnetic field and temperature. It is shown that while
uniaxial magnetic anisotropy leads to the suppression of the Kondo effect,
finite transverse anisotropy can restore the Kondo resonance. The effect of
Kondo peak restoration strongly depends on the magnetic configuration of the
device and leads to nontrivial behavior of the tunnel magnetoresistance. We
show that the temperature dependence of the conductance at points where the
restoration of the Kondo effect occurs is universal and shows a scaling typical
for usual spin-one-half Kondo effect.
