Abstract
The clearance of urea poses a formidable challenge, and its excessive accumulation can cause various renal diseases. Urease demonstrates remarkable efficacy in eliminating urea, but cannot be reused. This study aimed to develop a composite vector system comprising microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) immobilized with urease and metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-66-NH2, denoted as MCC@UiO/U, through the dynamic defect generation strategy. By utilizing competitive coordination, effective immobilization of urease into MCC@UiO was achieved for efficient urea removal. Within 2 h, the urea removal efficiency could reach up to 1500 mg/g, surpassing an 80% clearance rate. Furthermore, an 80% clearance rate can also be attained in peritoneal dialyzate from patients. MCC@UiO/U also exhibits an exceptional bioactivity even after undergoing 5 cycles of perfusion, demonstrating remarkable stability and biocompatibility. This innovative approach and methodology provide a novel avenue and a wide range of immobilized enzyme vectors for clinical urea removal and treatment of kidney diseases, presenting immense potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Immobilized enzymes are one of the most common tools used in enzyme engineering, as they can substantially reduce the cost of enzyme isolation and use. However, efficient catalysis of solid substrates using immobilized enzymes is challenging, hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose by immobilized cellulases is a typical example of this problem. In this study, inspired by bees and honeycombs, we prepared gelatin-modified cellulase (BEE) and gelatin hydrogels (HONEYCOMB) to achieve reversible recycling versus release of cellulase through temperature-responsive changes in the triple-stranded helix-like interactions between BEE and HONEYCOMB. At elevated temperatures, BEE was released from HONEYCOMB and participated in hydrolytic saccharification. After 24 h, the glucose yields of both the free enzyme and BEE reached the same level. When the temperature was decreased, BEE recombined with HONEYCOMB to facilitate the effective separation and recycling of BEE from the system. The enzymatic system retained >70 % activity after four reuse cycles. In addition, this system showed good biocompatibility and environmental safety. This method increases the mass transfer capacity and enables easy recovery of immobilized cellulase, thereby serving as a valuable strategy for the immobilization of other enzymes.

Abstract
Exploring an appropriate immobilization approach to enhance catalytic activity and reusability of cellulase is of great importance to reduce the price of enzymes and promote the industrialization of cellulose-derived biochemicals. In this study, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were functionalized with meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid to introduce carboxyl groups on the surface (DMNPs). Then, melamine-glutaraldehyde dendrimer-like polymers were grafted on DMNPs to increase protein binding sites for the immobilization of processive endoglucanase EG5C-1. Moreover, this dendrimer-like structure was beneficial to protect the conformation of EG5C-1 and facilitate the interaction between substrate and active center. The loading capacity of the functionalized copolymers (MG-DMNPs) for EG5C-1 was about 195 mg/g, where more than 90% of the activity was recovered. Immobilized EG5C-1 exhibited improved thermal stability and increased tolerability over a broad pH range compared with the free one. Additionally, MG-DMNP/EG5C-1 biocomposite maintained approximately 80% of its initial hydrolysis productivity after five cycles of usage using filter paper as the substrate. Our results provided a promising approach for the functionalization of MNPs, enabling the immobilization of cellulases with a high loading capacity and excellent activity recovery.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140803.

Abstract
The deteriorating environmental conditions due to increasing emerging recalcitrant pollutants raised a severe concern for its remediation. In this study, we have reported antibiotic degradation using free and immobilized HRP. The functionalized cellulose support was utilized for efficient immobilization of HRP. Approximately 13.32 ± 0.52 mg/g enzyme loading was achieved with >99% immobilization efficiency. The higher percentage of immobilization is attributed to the higher surface area and carboxylic groups on the support. The kinetic parameter of immobilized enzymes was Km = 2.99 mM/L for CNF-CA@HRP, which is 3.5-fold more than the Michaelis constant (Km = 0.84794 mM/L) for free HRP. The Vmax of CNF-CA@HRP bioconjugate was 2.36072 mM/min and 0.558254 mM/min for free HRP. The highest degradation of 50, 54.3, and 97% were achieved with enzymatic, sonolysis, and sono-enzymatic with CNF-CA@HRP bioconjugate, respectively. The reaction kinetics analysis revealed that applying ultrasound with an enzymatic process could enhance the reaction rate by 2.7-8.4 times compared to the conventional enzymatic process. Also, ultrasound changes the reaction from diffusion mode to the kinetic regime with a more oriented and fruitful collision between the molecules. The thermodynamic analysis suggested that the system was endothermic and spontaneous. While LC-MS analysis and OTC's degradation mechanism suggest, it mainly involves hydroxylation, secondary alcohol oxidation, dehydration, and decarbonylation. Additionally, the toxicity test confirmed that the sono-enzymatic process helps toward achieving complete mineralization. Further, the reusability of bioconjugate shows that immobilized enzymes are more efficient than the free enzyme.

Abstract
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is a crucial enzyme for various biotechnology applications, such as producing phenols, antioxidants, and nutraceuticals. However, feedback inhibition from its product, cinnamic acid, limits its forward reaction rate. Therefore, this study aims to address the feedback inhibition in PAL using enzyme engineering strategies. Random and site-directed mutagenesis approaches were utilized to screen mutant enzymes with ameliorated tolerance against cinnamic acid. A thermotolerant and cinnamate-tolerant mutant was rationally identified using a high throughput screening method and subsequent biochemical characterization. We evaluated cinnamate affinity among the seven rationally selected mutations, and the T102E mutation was identified as the most promising mutant. This mutant showed a six-fold reduction in the affinity of PAL for cinnamic acid and a two-fold increase in operational stability compared with native PAL. Furthermore, the enzyme was immobilized on carbon nanotubes to increase its robustness and reusability. The immobilized mutant PAL showed greater efficiency in the deamination of phenylalanine present in protein hydrolysate than its free form. The rationale behind the enhancement of cinnamate tolerance was validated using molecular dynamic simulations. Overall, the knowledge of the sequence-function relationship of PAL was applied to drive enzyme engineering to develop highly tolerant PAL.

Abstract
Depleting fossil fuels and net carbon emissions associated with their burning have driven the need to find alternative energy sources. Biofuels are near-perfect candidates for alternative energy sources as they are renewable and account for no net CO2 emissions. However, biofuel production must overcome various challenges to compete with conventional fuels. Conventional methods for bioconversion of biomass to biofuel include chemical, thermochemical, and biological processes. Substrate selection and processing, low yield, and total cost of production are some of the main issues associated with biofuel generation. Recently, the uses of nanotechnology and nanoparticles have been explored to improve the biofuel production processes because of their high adsorption, high reactivity, and catalytic properties. The role of these nanoscale particles and nanocatalysts in biomass conversion and their effect on biofuel production processes and yield are discussed in the present article. The applicability of nanotechnology in production processes of biobutanol, bioethanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, and biogas under biorefinery approach are presented. Different types of nanoparticles, and their function in the bioprocess, such as electron transfer, pretreatment, hydrolysis, microalgae cultivation, lipid extraction, dark and photo fermentation, immobilization, and suppression of inhibitory compounds, are also highlighted. Finally, the current and potential applications of nanotechnology in biorefineries are also discussed.

Abstract
Cellulase-mediated lignocellulosic biorefinery plays a crucial role in the production of high-value biofuels and chemicals, with enzymatic hydrolysis being an essential component. The advent of cellulase immobilization has revolutionized this process, significantly enhancing the efficiency, stability, and reusability of cellulase enzymes. This review offers a thorough analysis of the fundamental principles underlying immobilization, encompassing various immobilization approaches such as physical adsorption, covalent binding, entrapment, and cross-linking. Furthermore, it explores a diverse range of carrier materials, including inorganic, organic, and hybrid/composite materials. The review also focuses on emerging approaches like multi-enzyme co-immobilization, oriented immobilization, immobilized enzyme microreactors, and enzyme engineering for immobilization. Additionally, it delves into novel carrier technologies like 3D printing carriers, stimuli-responsive carriers, artificial cellulosomes, and biomimetic carriers. Moreover, the review addresses recent obstacles in cellulase immobilization, including molecular-level immobilization mechanism, diffusion limitations, loss of cellulase activity, cellulase leaching, and considerations of cost-effectiveness and scalability. The knowledge derived from this review is anticipated to catalyze the evolution of more efficient and sustainable biocatalytic systems for lignocellulosic biomass conversion, representing the current state-of-the-art in cellulase immobilization techniques.

Abstract
The utilization of microbial cellulase enzymes for transforming plant biomass into biofuel or bioethanol, which can serve as a substitute for fossil fuel, is a subject of growing interest. Nonetheless, large-scale production of biofuel using cellulases is not economically feasible as the extraction of these enzymes from diverse microorganisms is an expensive process. To address this issue, immobilizing the enzyme to a substrate material, e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs), to recycle without a significant decline in its catalytic activity is a promising solution. Due to the hydrophobic nature of CNTs, we employed molecular docking and network analysis methodologies to identify potential CNT-binding sites on the outer surface of a wild-type cellulase enzyme, CelS. Classical molecular dynamics simulations of CNT-bound CelS through one of the selected binding sites resulted in negligible changes in the secondary structure of the enzyme and its catalytic domain, implying the least possible effect on the catalytic activity post-immobilization. Furthermore, our study reveals that while the unfolding near the CNT-binding region in CelS is more pronounced when the enzyme is interacting with a wider CNT, resulting in enhanced contact area and improved binding affinity, its impact on the overall CelS structure is relatively less significant when compared to thinner CNTs. Particularly, CNTs of diameter ∼12 Å can serve as a favorable option for substrate materials in cellulase immobilization. Our study also provides critical insights into the binding mechanisms between cellulase and CNTs, which could lead to the development of more efficient biocatalysts for biofuel production.

Abstract
Oxidase and peroxidase enzymes have attracted attention in various biotechnological industries due to their ease of synthesis, wide range of applications, and operation under mild conditions. Their applicability, however, is limited by their poor stability in harsher conditions and their non-reusability. As a result, several approaches such as enzyme engineering, medium engineering, and enzyme immobilization have been used to improve the enzyme properties. Several materials have been used as supports for these enzymes to increase their stability and reusability. This review focusses on the immobilization of oxidase and peroxidase enzymes on metal and metal oxide nanoparticle-polymer composite supports and the different methods used to achieve the immobilization. The application of the enzyme-metal/metal oxide-polymer biocatalysts in biosensing of hydrogen peroxide, glucose, pesticides, and herbicides as well as blood components such as cholesterol, urea, dopamine, and xanthine have been extensively reviewed. The application of the biocatalysts in wastewater treatment through degradation of dyes, pesticides, and other organic compounds has also been discussed.

The potential of biochar as a microbial carrier for agricultural and environmental applications. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 886:163968. [PMID: 37164068 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Biochar can be an effective carrier for microbial inoculants because of its favourable properties promoting microbial life. In this review, we assess the effectiveness of biochar as a microbial carrier for agricultural and environmental applications. Biochar is enriched with organic carbon, contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium as nutrients, and has a high porosity and moisture-holding capacity. The large number of active hydroxyl, carboxyl, sulfonic acid group, amino, imino, and acylamino hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups are effective for microbial cell adhesion and proliferation. The use of biochar as a carrier of microbial inoculum has been shown to enhance the persistence, survival and colonization of inoculated microbes in soil and plant roots, which play a crucial role in soil biochemical processes, nutrient and carbon cycling, and soil contamination remediation. Moreover, biochar-based microbial inoculants including probiotics effectively promote plant growth and remediate soil contaminated with organic pollutants. These findings suggest that biochar can serve as a promising substitute for non-renewable substrates, such as peat, to formulate and deliver microbial inoculants. The future research directions in relation to improving the carrier material performance and expanding the potential applications of this emerging biochar-based microbial immobilization technology have been proposed.

Abstract
The insertion of bis(diarylcarbene)s onto a glass fiber (GF) membrane surface provided an active coating for the direct capture of protein - exemplified by the enzyme, cellulase - through a mild diazonium coupling process which does not require additional coupling agents. Successful cellulase attachment on the surface was demonstrated by the disappearance of diazonium and formation of azo functions in the N 1s high resolution spectra, the appearance of carboxyl group in C 1s spectra, both observed by XPS; the -CO vibrational bond observed by ATR-IR; as well as the observation of fluorescence. Further, five support materials (polystyrene XAD4 bead, polyacrylate MAC3 bead, glass wool, glass fiber membrane, polytetrafluoroethylene membrane) with different morphology and surface chemistry, were examined in detail as supports for cellulase immobilization using this common surface modification protocol. Of interest is that such covalently bound cellulase on modified GF membrane gave both the highest enzyme loading (∼23 mg cellulase per g support), and retained more than 90% of activity after 6 cycles of re-use, compared with substantial loss of enzyme activity for physiosorbed cellulase after 3 cycles. Optimization of the degree of surface grafting and the effectiveness of a spacer between surface and enzyme for enzyme loading and activity were conducted. This work shows that carbene surface modification is a viable strategy for introducing enzymes onto a surface under very mild conditions and retaining a meaningful level of activity, and particularly, using GF membrane as a novel support provides a potential platform for enzyme and protein immobilization.

Abstract
The microbial degradation of lignocellulose is the best way to treat straw, which has a broad application prospect. It is consistent with the idea of agricultural sustainable development and has an important impact on the utilization of biomass resources. To explore and utilize the microbial resources of lignocellulose degradation, 27 lignocellulose degrading strains were screened from 13 regions in China. ZJW-6 was selected because of its 49.6% lignocellulose weight loss rate. According to the theoretical analysis of the experimental results, the following straw degradation conditions were obtained by ZJW-6: nitrogen source input of 8.45 g/L, a pH of 8.57, and a temperature of 31.63°C, the maximum weight loss rate of rice straw could reach 54.8%. It was concluded that ZJW-6 belonged to Cellulomonas iranensis according to 16S rRNA-encoding gene sequence comparison and identification. ZJW-6 is a Gram-positive bacterium that grows slowly and has a small yellowish green colony. To explain the degradation mechanism of lignocellulose, the experiment of enzymatic properties of the strain was prepared and carried out. It was discovered that ZJW-6 has an excellent ability to degrade cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, with cellulose and hemicellulose loss rates reaching almost 50% in 4 days and lignin loss rates reaching nearly 30%. Furthermore, ZJW-6 demonstrated lignocellulose degradation under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, indicating the strain's broad application potential. ZJW-6 was found to be more effective than ordinary humic acid in improving rice soil (available phosphorus, available nitrogen, organic matter) and promoting rice growth in a rice pot experiment (increasing root-shoot ratio, root activity, chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate). ZJW-6 plays an important role in promoting the development and utilization of straw resources. It has important significance for the advancement of green agriculture.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulase enzymes are potent candidates for the efficient production of bioethanol, a promising alternative to fossil fuels, from cellulosic biomass. These enzymes catalyze the breakdown of cellulose in plant biomass into simple sugars and then to bioethanol. In the absence of the enzyme, the cellulosic biomass is recalcitrant to decomposition due to fermentation-resistant lignin and pectin coatings on the cellulose surface, which make them inaccessible for hydrolysis. Cellobiohydrolase CelS is a microbial enzyme that binds to cellulose fiber and efficiently cleaves it into a simple sugar (cellobiose) by a repeated processive chopping mechanism. The two contributing factors to the catalytic reaction rate and the yield of cellobiose are the efficient product expulsion from the product binding site of CelS and the movement of the substrate or cellulose chain into the active site. Despite progress in understanding product expulsion in other cellulases, much remains to be understood about the molecular mechanism of processive action of these enzymes. Here, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations using suitable reaction coordinates are carried out to investigate the energetics and mechanism of the substrate dynamics and product expulsion in CelS. The calculated free energy barrier for the product expulsion is three times lower than that for the processive action indicating that product removal is relatively easier and faster than the sliding of the substrate to the catalytic active site. The water traffic near the active site in response to the product expulsion and the processive action is also explored.

Abstract
Dengue fever is one of the significant fatal mosquito-borne viral diseases and is considered to be a worldwide problem. Aedes mosquito is responsible for transmitting various serotypes of dengue viruses to humans. Dengue incidence has developed prominently throughout the world in the last ten years. The exact number of dengue cases is underestimated, whereas plenty of cases are misdiagnosed as alternative febrile sicknesses. There is an estimation that about 390 million dengue cases occur annually. Dengue fever encompasses a wide range of clinical presentations, usually with undefinable clinical progression and outcome. The diagnosis of dengue depends on serology tests, molecular diagnostic methods, and antigen detection tests. The therapeutic approach relies completely on supplemental drugs, which is far from the real approach. Vaccines for dengue disease are in various stages of development. The commercial formulation Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV) is accessible and developed by Sanofi Pasteur. The vaccine candidate Dengvaxia was inefficient in liberating a stabilized immune reaction toward different serotypes (1-4) of dengue fever. Numerous promising vaccine candidates are now being developed in preclinical and clinical stages even though different serotypes of DENV exist that worsen the situation for a vaccine to be equally effective for all serotypes. Thus, the development of an efficient dengue fever vaccine candidate requires time. Effective dengue fever management can be a multidisciplinary challenge, involving international cooperation from diverse perspectives and expertise to resolve this global concern.

Abstract
The issue of global warming calls for a greener energy production approach. To this end, bioenergy has significant greenhouse gas mitigation potential, since it makes use of biological products/wastes and can efficiently counter carbon dioxide emission. However, technologies for biomass processing remain limited due to the structure of biomass and difficulties such as high processing cost, development of harmful inhibitors and detoxification of produced inhibitors that hinder widespread usage. Additionally, cellulose pre-treatment is often required to be amenable for an enzymatic hydrolysis process. Nanotechnology (usage of nanomaterials, in this case) has been employed in recent years to improve bioenergy generation, especially in terms of catalyst and feedstock modification. This review starts with introducing the potential nanomaterials in bioenergy generation such as carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, silica and other novel materials. The role of nanotechnology to assist in bioenergy generation is discussed, particularly from the aspects of enzyme immobilization, biogas production and biohydrogen production. Future applications using nanotechnology to assist in bioenergy generation are also prospected.

Abstract
Cellulases are being widely employed in lignocellulosic biorefineries for the sustainable production of value-added bioproducts. However, the high production cost, sensitivity, and non-reusability of free cellulase enzymes impede their commercial applications. Enzyme immobilization seems to be a potential approach to address the aforesaid complications. The current study aims at the production of recombinant endoglucanase (CelA) originated from the cellulosome of Clostridium thermocellum in Escherichia coli (E. coli), followed by immobilization using modified regenerated cellulose (RC) membranes. The surface modification of RC membranes was performed in two different ways: one to generate the immobilized metal ion affinity membranes RC-EPI-IDA-Co2+ (IMAMs) for coordination coupling and another to develop aldehyde functional group membranes RC-EPI-DA-GA (AMs) for covalent bonding. For the preparation of IMAMs, cobalt ions expressed the highest affinity effect compared to other metal ions. Both enzyme-immobilized membranes exhibited better thermal stability and maintained an improved relative activity at higher temperatures (50–90 °C). In the storage analysis, 80% relative activity was retained after 15 days at 4 °C. Furthermore, the IMAM- and AM-immobilized CelA retained 63% and 53% relative activity, respectively, after being reused five times. As to the purification effect during immobilization, IMAMs showed a better purification fold of 3.19 than AMs. The IMAMs also displayed better kinetic parameters, with a higher Vmax of 15.57 U mg−1 and a lower Km of 36.14 mg mL−1, than those of AMs. The IMAMs were regenerated via treatment with stripping buffer and reloaded with enzymes and displayed almost 100% activity, the same as free enzymes, up to 5 cycles of regeneration.

Abstract
Biocatalysts, including live microbial cells/enzymes, have been considered a predominant and advantageous tool for effectively transforming biomass into biofuels and valued biochemicals. However, high production costs, separation, and reusability limit its practical application. Immobilization of single and multi-enzymes by employing different nano-supports have gained massive attention because of its elevated exterior domain and high enzymatic performance. Application of nanobiocatalyst can overcome the drawbacks mainly, stability and reusability, thus reflecting the importance of biomass-based biorefinery to make it profitable and sustainable. This review provides an in-depth, comprehensive analysis of nanobiocatalysts systems concerning nano supports and biocatalytic performance characteristics. Furthermore, the effects of nanobiocatalyst on waste biomass to biofuel and valued bioproducts in the biorefinery approach and their critical assessment are discussed. Lastly, this review elaborates commercialization and market outlooks of the bioconversion process using nanobiocatalyst, followed by different strategies to overcome the limitations and future research directions on nanobiocatalytic-based industrial bioprocesses.

Abstract
Nanobiocatalysts, i.e., enzymes immobilized on nanostructured supports, received considerable attention because they are potential remedies to overcome shortcomings of traditional biocatalysts, such as low efficiency of mass transfer, instability during catalytic reactions, and possible deactivation. In this short review, we will analyze major aspects of immobilization of cellulase-an enzyme for cellulosic biomass waste processing-on nanostructured supports. Such supports provide high surface areas, increased enzyme loading, and a beneficial environment to enhance cellulase performance and its stability, leading to nanobiocatalysts for obtaining biofuels and value-added chemicals. Here, we will discuss such nanostructured supports as carbon nanotubes, polymer nanoparticles (NPs), nanohydrogels, nanofibers, silica NPs, hierarchical porous materials, magnetic NPs and their nanohybrids, based on publications of the last five years. The use of magnetic NPs is especially favorable due to easy separation and the nanobiocatalyst recovery for a repeated use. This review will discuss methods for cellulase immobilization, morphology of nanostructured supports, multienzyme systems as well as factors influencing the enzyme activity to achieve the highest conversion of cellulosic biowaste into fermentable sugars. We believe this review will allow for an enhanced understanding of such nanobiocatalysts and processes, allowing for the best solutions to major problems of sustainable biorefinery.

Abstract
Microbial immobilization technology (MIT) has been rapidly developed and used to remove pollutants from water/wastewater in recent years, owing to its high stability, rapid reaction rate, and high activity. Microbial immobilization carrier with low cost and high removal efficiency is the key of MIT. Biochar is considered to be an efficient carrier for microbial immobilization because of its high porosity and good adsorption effect, which can provide a habitat for microorganisms. The use of biochar immobilized microorganisms to treat different pollutants in wastewater is a promising treatment method. Compared with the other biological treatment technology, biochar immobilized microorganisms can improve microbial abundance, repeated utilization ratio, microbial metabolic capacity, etc. However, current research on this method is still in its infancy. Little attention has been paid to the interaction mechanisms between biochar and microorganisms, and many studies are only carried out in the laboratory. There are still problems such as difficult recovery after use and secondary pollution caused by residual pollutants after biochar adsorption, which need further clarification. To have comprehensive digestion and an in-depth understanding of biochar immobilized microorganisms technology in wastewater treatment, the wastewater treatment methods based on biochar are firstly summarized in this review. Then the mechanisms of immobilized microorganisms were explored, and the applications of biochar immobilized microorganisms in wastewater were systematically reviewed. Finally, suggestions and perspectives for future research and practical application are put forward.

Abstract
Lignocellulose biomass (LCB) has extensive applications in many fields such as bioenergy, food, medicines, and raw materials for producing value-added products. One of the keys to efficient utilization of LCB is to obtain directly available oligo- and monomers (e.g., glucose). With the characteristics of easy recovery and separation, high efficiency, economy, and environmental protection, immobilized enzymes have been developed as heterogeneous catalysts to degrade LCB effectively. In this review, applications and mechanisms of LCB-degrading enzymes are discussed, and the nanomaterials and methods used to immobilize enzymes are also discussed.

Abstract
Globally, the fossil fuel reserves are depleting rapidly and the escalating fuel prices as well as plethora of the pollutants released from the emission of burning fossil fuels cause global warming that massively disturb the ecological balance. Moreover, the unnecessary utilization of non-renewable energy sources is a genuine hazard to nature and economic stability, which demands an alternative renewable source of energy. The lignocellulosic biomass is the pillar of renewable sources of energy. Different conventional pretreatment methods of lignocellulosic feedstocks have employed for biofuel production. However, these pretreatments are associated with disadvantages such as high cost of chemical substances, high load of organic catalysts or mechanical equipment, time consuming, and production of toxic inhibitors causing the environmental pollution. Nanotechnology has shown the promised biorefinery results by overcoming the disadvantages associated with the conventional pretreatments. Recyclability of nanomaterials offers cost effective and economically viable biorefineries processes. Lignolytic and saccharolytic enzymes have immobilized onto/into the nanomaterials for the higher biocatalyst loading due to their inherent properties of high surface area to volume ratios. Nanobiocatalyst enhance the hydrolyzing process of pretreated biomass by their high penetration into the cell wall to disintegrate the complex carbohydrates for the release of high amounts of sugars towards biofuel and various by-products production. Different nanotechnological routes provide cost-effective bioenergy production from the rich repertoires of the forest and agricultural-based lignocellulosic biomass. In this article, a critical survey of diverse biomass pretreatment methods and the nanotechnological interventions for opening up the biomass structure has been carried out.

Abstract
β-Glucosidase is widely used in several industrial segments, among which we can highlight the pharmaceutical industry, beverages, biofuels, animal feed production, and the textile industry. The great applicability of this enzyme, associated with the high cost of its production, justifies the need to find ways to make its use economically viable on an industrial scale. Through enzyme immobilization, the biocatalyst can be reused more than once, without great impact on its catalytic activity, and higher operational and storage stabilities can be achieved as compared to the free form. Accordingly, this review brings information about different techniques and supports that have been studied in the immobilization of cellulases with a focus on β-glucosidase, as well as the application of these immobilized systems to supplement commercial mixtures.

Abstract
The need to develop sustainable alternatives for pretreatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is a massive concern in the industrial sector today. Breaking down of LCB yields sugars and fuel in the bulk scale. If explored under nanotechnology, LCB can be refined to yield high-performance fuel sources. The toxicity and cost of conventional methods can be reduced by applying nanoparticles (NPs) in refining LCB. Immobilization of enzymes onto NPs or used in conjugation with nanomaterials would instill specific and eco-friendly options for hydrolyzing LCB. Nanomaterials increase the proficiency, reusability, and stability of enzymes. Notably, magnetic NPs have bagged their place in the downstream processing of LCB effluents due to their efficient separation and cost-effectiveness. The current review highlights the role of nanotechnology and its particles in refining LCB into various commercial precursors and value-added products. The relationship between nanotechnology and LCB refinery is portrayed effectively in the present study.

Abstract
Biomass represents an abundant and inexpensive source of sugars and aromatic compounds that can be used as raw materials for conversion into value-added bioproducts. Filamentous fungi are sources of plant cell wall degrading enzymes in nature. Understanding the interactions between enzymes is crucial for optimizing biomass degradation processes. Herein, the concept of the interactome is presented as a holistic approach that depicts the interactions among enzymes, substrates, metabolites, and inhibitors. The interactome encompasses several stages of biomass degradation, starting with the sensing of the substrate and the subsequent synthesis of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes (fungus-substrate interaction). Enzyme-enzyme interactions are exemplified in the complex processes of lignocellulosic biomass degradation. The enzyme-substrate-metabolite-inhibitor interaction also provides a better understanding of biomass conversion, allowing bioproduct production from recalcitrant agro-industrial residues, thus bringing greater value to residual biomass. Finally, technological applications are presented for optimizing the interactome at various levels.

Abstract
To enhance the dye removal efficiency by natural enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized onto amine-functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide and used as a biocatalyst for the oxidative degradation of acid black-HC dye. The anchored enzyme was characterized by vibrating sample magnetometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda methods, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, Zeta potential, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The Michaelis constant values of free and immobilized HRP were determined to be 4.5 and 5 mM for hydrogen peroxide and 12.5 and 10 mM for guaiacol, respectively. Moreover, the maximum values of free and immobilized HRP were 2.4 and 2 U for H2O2, respectively, and 1.25 U for guaiacol. The immobilized enzyme was thermally stable up to 60°C, whereas the free peroxidase was stable only up to 40°C. In the catalytic experiment, the immobilized HRP exhibited superior catalytic activity compared with that of free HRP for the oxidative decolorization and removal of acid black-HC dye. The influence of experimental parameters such as the catalyst dosage, pH, H2O2 concentration, and temperature on the removal efficiency was investigated. The reaction followed second-order kinetics, and the thermodynamic activation parameters were determined.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass has arisen as a solution to our energy and environmental challenges because it is rich in feedstock that can be converted to biofuels. Converting lignocellulosic biomass to sugar is a complicated system involved in the bioconversion process. There are indeed a variety of techniques that have been utilized in the bioconversion process consisting of physical, chemical, and biological approaches. However, most of them have drawbacks when used on a large scale, which include the high cost of processing, the development of harmful inhibitors, and the detoxification of the inhibitors that have been produced. These constraints, taken together, hinder the effectiveness of current solutions and demand for the invention of a new, productive, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable technique for LB processing. In this context, the approach of nanotechnology utilizing various nanomaterials and nanoparticles in treating lignocellulose biomass and bioenergy conversion has achieved increased interest and has been explored greatly in recent times. This mini review delves into the application of nanotechnological techniques in the bioconversion of lignocellulose biomass into bioenergy. This review on nanotechnological application in biomass conversion provides insights and development tools for the expansion of new sectors, resulting in excellent value and productivity, contributing to the long-term economic progress.

Abstract
High production cost of cellulase enzyme is one of the main constraints in the practical implementation of biofuels at global scale. Therefore, the present investigation is focused to produce low-cost cellulase via sustainable strategies. This work evaluates to achieve enhanced fungal cellulase production using natural and pretreated sugar cane bagasse (SCB) via Rhizopus oryzae NS5 under the solid state fermentation (SSF) while implementing graphene oxide (GO) as a catalyst. A low alkali treatment showed better performance for cellulase production wherein 14 IU/gds FP activity is observed in 96 h using 0.5% alkali treated SCB, significantly higher as compared to 10 IU/gds FP in case of untreated SCB. Further, the effect of GO has been investigated on cellulase production, incubation temperature and pH of the production medium. Under the influence of 1.5% concentration of GO, alkali pretreated SCB produced maximum 25 IU/gds cellulase in 72 h at pH 5.0 and 40 °C.

Abstract
Biofuel is one of the best alternatives to petroleum-derived fuels globally especially in the current scenario, where fossil fuels are continuously depleting. Fossil-based fuels cause severe threats to the environment and human health by releasing greenhouse gases on their burning. With the several limitations in currently available technologies and associated higher expenses, producing biofuels on an industrial scale is a time-consuming operation. Moreover, processes adopted for the conversion of various feedstock to the desired product are different depending upon the various techniques and materials utilized. Nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the best solutions to the current challenges on utilization of biomass in terms of their selectivity, energy efficiency, and time management, with reduced cost involvement. Many of these methods have recently been adopted, and several NPs such as metal, magnetic, and metal oxide are now being used in enhancement of biofuel production. The unique properties of NPs, such as their design, stability, greater surface area to volume ratio, catalytic activity, and reusability, make them effective biofuel additives. In addition, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and nanosheets have been found to be cost effective as well as stable catalysts for enzyme immobilization, thus improving biofuel synthesis. The current study gives a comprehensive overview of the use of various nanomaterials in biofuel production, as well as the major challenges and future opportunities.

Abstract
A novel conductive nanohydrogel hybrid support was prepared by in situ polymerization of polyaniline nanorods on an electrospun cationic hydrogel of poly(ε-caprolactone) and a cationic phosphine oxide macromolecule. Subsequently, the cellulase enzyme was immobilized on the hybrid support. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses confirmed a mesoporous, rod-like structure with a slit-like pore geometry for the immobilized support and exhibiting a high immobilization capacity and reduced diffusion resistance of the substrate. For comparison, the catalytic activity, storage stability, and reusability of the immobilized and free enzymes were evaluated. The results showed that the immobilized enzymes have higher thermal stability without changes in the optimal pH (5.5) and temperature (55 °C) for enzyme activity. A high immobilization efficiency (96%) was observed for the immobilized cellulose catalysts after optimization of parameters such as the pH, temperature, incubation time, and protein concentration. The immobilized enzyme retained almost 90% of its original activity after 4 weeks of storage and 73% of its original activity after the ninth reuse cycle. These results strongly suggest that the prepared hybrid support has the potential to be used as a support for protein immobilization.

Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)-tannase composite was investigated as an immobilized biocatalyst on the basis of its facile preparation, low cost, and excellent aqueous dispersibility. Cross-linked tannase enzymes, obtained in the presence of glutaraldehyde, were composited with MWCNT via physical adsorption. Multiple techniques were applied to investigate, and corroborate the successful adsorption of cross-linked tannase onto the MWCNT structure. Green tea infusion extract post-treatment using the composite preparation showed elevated radical scavenging activities relative to the control. Green tea infusion extract exhibited a markedly reduced EC50 value on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals following its treatment with the enzyme composite, which represents 20%-34% enhancement in its free radical scavenging capacity. Stoichiometry and number of reduced DPPH were determined and compared. The antioxidative potential of a widely consumed, health-beneficial green tea is elevated by the treatment with MWCNT-tannase composite. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Cross-linked tannase enzymes were composited with pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes via simple physical adsorption. The composite presents key advantages such as low specific volume compared to other well-known immobilization media, inert, facile enzyme composition, and ease of recovery for repeated use. The work demonstrated carbon nanotube prosthetic utility in the biotransformation of food-based health commodity sought after for its nutritional benefits. The approach is of both industrial- and agricultural importance, and is a promising and viable strategy to obtain a natural, functional food supplement for the multi-billion dollar well-being and health-related industries.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials along with an added value of polymers-based support carriers have gained high interest and considered ideal for enzyme immobilization. The recently emerged nanoscience interface in the form of nanostructured materials combined with immobilized-enzyme-based bio-catalysis has now become research and development frontiers in advance and applied bio-catalysis engineering. With the involvement of nanoscience, various polymers have been thoroughly developed and exploited to nanostructured engineer constructs as ideal support carriers/matrices. Such nanotechnologically engineered support carriers/matrix possesses unique structural, physicochemical, and functional attributes which equilibrate principal factors and strengthen the biocatalysts efficacy for multipurpose applications. In addition, nano-supported catalysts are potential alternatives that can outstrip several limitations of conventional biocatalysts, such as reduced catalytic efficacy and turnover, low mass transfer efficiency, instability during the reaction, and most importantly, partial, or complete inhibition/deactivation. In this context, engineering robust and highly efficient biocatalysts is an industrially relevant prerequisite. This review comprehensively covered various biopolymers and nanostructured materials, including silica, hybrid nanoflower, nanotubes or nanofibers, nanomembranes, graphene oxide nanoparticles, metal-oxide frameworks, and magnetic nanoparticles as robust matrices for cellulase immobilization. The work is further enriched by spotlighting applied and industrially relevant considerations of nano-immobilized cellulases. For instance, owing to the cellulose-deconstruction features of nano-immobilized cellulases, the applications like lignocellulosic biomass conversion into industrially useful products or biofuels, improved paper sheet density and pulp beat in paper and pulp industry, fruit juice clarification in food industry are evident examples of cellulases, thereof are discussed in this work.

Abstract
Aspergillus aculeatus ZC-1005 (ZC-1005 was used as the abbreviation of this strain) is a hemicellulase-producing strain isolated from rotten citrus rind buried in the soil. Our previous study has shown its biochemical properties including high xylanase activity, mannanase activity, and degradation reaction with citrus mesocarp. In this study, we focused more on the enzyme safety evaluation and the genome sequencing via PacBio and Illumina platforms. High biological safety of the crude enzymes of ZC-1005 has been proven by the acute oral toxicity test, sub-chronic toxicity test, micronucleus test, and sperm malformation test. The genome of ZC-1005 had a GC content of 52.53%, with a size of 35,458,484 bp, and encoded 10,147 genes. Strain ZC-1005 harbored 269 glycosyl hydrolase (GH) genes of 64 families. The fungus produces cellulose-acting (GH3, GH5, GH12, and GH1) and hemicellulose-acting enzymes (GH16, GH31, GH2, and GH92). In genome annotation, we paid more attention to the genes encoding xylanase, such as gene 01512, gene 05833, gene 05469, gene 07781, gene 08432, gene 09042, gene 08008, and gene 09694. The collaboration between complete genome information and the degradation test confirmed that ZC-1005 could degrade cellulose and xylan. Our results showed that the citrus enzymatic decapsulation technology was efficacious and safe for canned citrus product processing, which may also solve the industrial waste problem. Therefore, ZC-1005 and the crude enzyme secreted from the strain were very promising to be used in the citrus processing industry.

Abstract
The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, China, was triggered and unfolded quickly throughout the globe by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The new virus, transmitted primarily through inhalation or contact with infected droplets, seems very contagious and pathogenic, with an incubation period varying from 2 to 14 days. The epidemic is an ongoing public health problem that challenges the present global health system. A worldwide social and economic stress has been observed. The transitional source of origin and its transport to humans is unknown, but speedy human transportation has been accepted extensively. The typical clinical symptoms of COVID-19 are almost like colds. With case fatality rates varying from 2 to 3 percent, a small number of patients may experience serious health problems or even die. To date, there is a limited number of antiviral agents or vaccines for the treatment of COVID-19. The occurrence and pathogenicity of COVID-19 infection are outlined and comparatively analyzed, given the outbreak's urgency. The recent developments in diagnostics, treatment, and marketed vaccine are discussed to deal with this viral outbreak. Now the scientist is concerned about the appearance of several variants over the globe and the efficacy of the vaccine against these variants. There is a need for consistent monitoring of the virus epidemiology and surveillance of the ongoing variant and related disease severity.

Abstract
Cellulose is a very abundant polymer that is found in nature. Cellulose has been used as a raw material for production of biofuels for many years. However, there are multiple processing steps that are required so that cellulose can be used as a raw material for biofuel production. One of the most important steps is the breakdown of cellulose into intermediate sugars which can then be a viable substrate for biofuel production. Cellulases are enzymes which play a role in the catalysis of the breakdown of cellulose into glucose. Nanomaterials and micromaterials have been gaining a lot of attention over the past few years for its potential in immobilizing enzymes for industrial procedures. Immobilization of enzymes on these nanomaterials has been observed to be of great value due to the improvement in thermal stability, pH stability, regenerative capacity, increase in activity and the reusability of enzymes. Similarly, there have been multiple reports of cellulase enzymes being immobilized on various nanoparticles. The immobilization of these cellulase enzymes have resulted in very efficient processing and provide a great and economic solution for the processing of cellulose for biofuel production. Hence in this paper, we review and discuss the various advantages and disadvantages of enzymes on various available nanomaterials.

Abstract
Recent advancement has been accomplished in the field of biosensors through the modification of cellulose as a nano-engineered matrix material. To date, various techniques have been reported to develop cellulose-based matrices for fabricating different types of biosensors. Trends of involving cellulosic materials in paper-based multiplexing devices and microfluidic analytical technologies have increased because of their disposable, portable, biodegradable properties and cost-effectiveness. Cellulose also has potential in the development of cytosensors because of its various unique properties including biocompatibility. Such cellulose-based sensing devices are also being commercialized for various biomedical diagnostics in recent years and have also been considered as a method of choice in clinical laboratories and personalized diagnosis. In this paper, we have discussed the engineering aspects of cellulose-based sensors that have been reported where such matrices have been used to develop various analytical modules for the detection of small molecules, metal ions, macromolecules, and cells present in a diverse range of samples. Additionally, the developed cellulose-based biosensors and related analytical devices have been comprehensively described in tables with details of the sensing molecule, readout system, sensor configuration, response time, real sample, and their analytical performances.

Abstract
High-value utilization of cellulosic biomasses via the most promising enzymatic method is the key to solve a series of global strategic issues but its industrialization was seriously hindered by the high cost. Immobilization of enzyme to realize its recycling is one solution; however, how to capture and hydrolyze the insoluble cellulose effectively via the immobilization system remains challenging. Herein, inspired by the predation process of the sea anemone, a cost-effective biomimetic cellulase-loaded enzymatic film was constructed. The cellulase loaded on the film can adjust its spatial orientation freely, thus their catalytic centres can easily reach the surface of the cellulose to perform the "predation" process effectively. As a result, this immobilization system can largely increase the efficiency of the insoluble cellulose hydrolysis and can be recycled for at least 8 cycles without activities loss. Therefore, it can largely reduce the cost of the cellulose conversion in the industrial areas.

Abstract
In recent times, nanoparticles (NPs) have found increasing interest owing to their size, large surface areas, distinctive structures, and unique properties, making them suitable for various industrial and biomedical applications. Biogenic synthesis of NPs using microbes is a recent trend and a greener approach than physical and chemical methods of synthesis, which demand higher costs, greater energy consumption, and complex reaction conditions and ensue hazardous environmental impact. Several microorganisms are known to trap metals in situ and convert them into elemental NPs forms. They are found to accumulate inside and outside of the cell as well as in the periplasmic space. Despite the toxicity of NPs, the driving factor for the production of NPs inside microorganisms remains unelucidated. Several reports suggest that nanotization is a way of stress response and biodefense mechanism for the microbe, which involves metal excretion/accumulation across membranes, enzymatic action, efflux pump systems, binding at peptides, and precipitation. Moreover, genes also play an important role for microbial nanoparticle biosynthesis. The resistance of microbial cells to metal ions during inward and outward transportation leads to precipitation. Accordingly, it becomes pertinent to understand the interaction of the metal ions with proteins, DNA, organelles, membranes, and their subsequent cellular uptake. The elucidation of the mechanism also allows us to control the shape, size, and monodispersity of the NPs to develop large-scale production according to the required application. This article reviews different means in microbial synthesis of NPs focusing on understanding the cellular, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms of nanotization of metals.

Metabolic integration of azide functionalized glycan on Escherichia coli cell surface for specific covalent immobilization onto magnetic nanoparticles with click chemistry. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 324:124689. [PMID: 33450627 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.124689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Revised: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
A method for specific immobilization of whole-cell with covalent bonds was developed through a click reaction between alkyne and azide groups. In this approach, magnetic nanoparticle Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-alkyne was synthesized with Fe3O4 core preparation, SiO2 coating, and alkyne functionalization on the surface. The azides were successfully integrated onto the cell surface of the recombinant E. coli harboring glycerol dehydrogenase, which was employed as the model cell. The highest immobilization yield of 83% and activity recovery of 94% were obtained under the conditions of 0.67 mg mg-1 cell-support ratio, pH 6.0, temperature 45 °C, and 20 mM Cu2+ concentration. The immobilized cell showed good reusability, which remained over 50% of initial activity after 10 cycles of utilization. Its activity was 9.7-fold higher than that of the free cell at the condition of pH 8.0 and each optimal temperature. Furthermore, the immobilized cell showed significantly higher activity, operational stability, and reusability.
