Garrido MDP, Borreguero AM, Redondo FJ, Padilla D, Carmona M, Ramos MJ, Rodriguez JF. Functionalization of Poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) Particles for Selective Removal of Bilirubin. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:ma15175989. [PMID: 36079370 PMCID: PMC9457421 DOI: 10.3390/ma15175989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the main causes of death in patients with severe hepatic problems, which justifies the research for bilirubin removal solutions. In this study, St-MMA particles with PEGMA and/or GMA brushes were synthesized. First, the recipe for St-MMA was optimized and then adapted for PEGMA and GMA incorporation. Different solvents were then assayed to improve the BSA immobilization capacity of the particles. Ethyl lactate proved to be the best solvent, reaching a BSA immobilization capacity improvement of up to 60% for St-MMA-GMA-PEGMA particles. These particles also presented the best results for BR removal from PBS. No significant differences in the final capacity for BR removal from PBS media were observed when BSA was attached to the particles; however, the kinetics were greatly improved, requiring half the time. Finally, St-MMA-GMA-PEGMA particles that were wetted in EL with BSA reduced the bilirubin concentration in plasma from levels that threaten the survival of critical patients to levels close to those of healthy individuals in less than 30 min. On the contrary, particles without BSA were unable to remove bilirubin from plasma. Thus, the attachment of albumin to the particles plays a key role in selectively reducing bilirubin levels.

Abstract
This pilot investigation aimed to evaluate the removal efficiency and the underlying biocatalytic pathways of immobilized fungal laccase during the oxidative biotransformation of a non-phenolic metabolite, 3,5-dichloroaniline (3,5-DCA) derived from dicarboximide fungicides. The maximum loading of laccase on the microporous support surfaces could reach 36.4 mg/g. The immobilized laccase on the microporous support surfaces exhibited excellent thermal stability, pH adaptability, storage stability, and reusability compared to free laccase. The ILMS assay indicated that the immobilized laccase efficiently removed studied 3,5-DCA (99-100%) in the aqueous medium, within 72 h in the presence of catechol. In this study, we identified three coupling reaction products during the removal of 3,5-DCA through an ILMS assay. Based on the identified coupling reaction products, we proposed the reaction pathway for the biotransformation of 3,5-DCA by immobilized laccase, which was shown to be potentially useful in the sustainable environmental remediation of aniline metabolite (i.e., 3,5-DCA) derived from dicarboximide fungicides.

Enhancement of laccase production from a newly isolated Trichoderma harzianum S7113 using submerged fermentation: Optimization of production medium via central composite design and its application for hydroquinone degradation. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 192:219-231. [PMID: 34624382 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.09.207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Revised: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Trichoderma harzianum S7113 as an efficient fungal isolate for laccase production was identified using the 18S rRNA sequencing. T. harzianum S7113 attained its maximal laccase production level on the 14th day of static incubation at 28 °C and pH 5.0 using the inoculum size of 5 discs (14 mm), according to the one factor per time (OFT) method. The most appropriate carbon, organic and inorganic nitrogen sources to promote maximal laccase synthesis were glucose (15 g/L), beef extract (5 g/L), and ammonium chloride (4 g/L), respectively. Results of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) revealed that glucose, meat extract, and ammonium chloride concentrations of 17.54, 7.17, and 4.36 g/L respectively, at a pH value of 6.74 are the favorite conditions for high titer production. The ANOVA analysis highlighted an excellent match between the actual experimental results and the model predicted laccase production levels. The biodegradation of hydroquinone (HQ) by T. harzianum S7113 laccase was most efficient in the pH range of 5.0 to 6.5. The increase in laccase concentration led to a significant increase in the HQ conversion to get a biodegradation rate of 92 ± 2.6% with a laccase concentration of 0.75 U/mL after 3 h of reaction.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) falls under the category of organophosphorus pesticides which are in huge demand in the agricultural sector. Overuse of this pesticide has led to the degradation of the quality of terrestrial and aquatic life. The chemical is moderately persistent in the environment but its primary metabolite 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) is comparatively highly persistent. Thus, it is important to degrade the chemical and there are many proposed techniques of degradation. Out of which bioremediation is considered to be highly cost-effective and efficient. Many previous studies have attempted to isolate appropriate microbial strains to degrade CPF which established the fact that chlorine atoms released while mineralising TCP inhibits further proliferation of microorganisms. Thus, it has been increasingly important to experiment with strains that can simultaneously degrade both CPF and TCP. In this review paper, the need for degrading CPF specifically the problems related to it has been discussed elaborately. Alongside these, the metabolism pathways undertaken by different kinds of microorganisms have been included. This paper also gives a detailed insight into the potential strains of microorganisms which has been confirmed through experiments conducted previously. It can be concluded that a wide range of microorganisms has to be studied to understand the possibility of applying bioremediation in wastewater treatment to remove pesticide residues. In addition to this, in the case of recalcitrant pesticides, options of treating it with hybrid techniques like bioremediation clubbed with photocatalytic biodegradation can be attempted.

Abstract
In this study, we cross-linked aminated Thermothelomyces thermophilus laccase onto Immobead 150P epoxy carrier, and achieved an immobilization yield of 99.84 %. The optimum temperature and pH values for the oxidation of ABTS by laccase were determined to be 70 °C and pH 3.0. After 6 h at 50 °C, laccase activity was diminished by about 13 % in the free form and 28 %, in the immobilized form. Km values for both free and cross-linked laccase were 0.051 and 0.567 mM, whereas Vmax values were 2.027 and 0.854 μmol. min-1, respectively. The immobilized laccase was able to preserve its full activity for 6 weeks, retaining approximately 95 % and 78 % of its initial activity after 8 and 20 weeks, respectively. The contact angles were two-fold higher when the laccase enzyme was occupied in the biografting reaction, revealing that the hydrophobic compound bonded stably onto beechwood samples.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization has been known to be one of the methods to improve the stability and reusability of enzyme. In this study, a strategy to optimize laccase immobilization on polyethylene terephthalate grafted with maleic anhydride electrospun nanofiber mat (PET-g-MAH ENM) was developed. The development involves the screening and optimization processes of the crucial factors that influence the immobilization yield such as enzyme concentration, pH values, covalent bonding (CV) time, CV temperature, crosslinking (CL) time, CL temperature and glutaraldehyde concentration using two-level factorial design and Box-Behnken design (BBD), respectively. It was found that laccase concentration, pH values and glutaraldehyde concentration play important role in enhancing the immobilization yield of laccase on PET-g-MAH ENM in the screening process. Subsequently, the optimization result showed at 0.28 mg/ml laccase concentration, pH 3 and 0.45% (v/v) glutaraldehyde concentrations gave the highest immobilization yield at 87.64% which was 81.2% increment from the immobilization yield before optimization. Under the optimum condition, the immobilized laccase was able to oxidize 2, 2-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulfonic acid (ABTS) in a broad range of pH (pH 3-6) and temperature (20- 70 °C). Meanwhile, the kinetic parameters for Km and Vmax were 1.331 mM and 0.041 mM/min, respectively. It was concluded that the optimization of immobilized laccase on PET-g-MAH ENM enhance the performance of this biocatalyst.

Abstract
The present study explored the immobilization of laccase onto iron magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to enhance its enzymatic properties and applications. The immobilization process was optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD). BBD showed significance towards the quadratic model with experimental data. Maximum laccase activity recovery (99%) of the predicted model was observed at 0.75 mg/mL of laccase concentration, 200 mg/mL of MNPs, 0.3% cross linking with carbodiimide, and 3 h of cross-linking time. The magnetization activity of MNPs (8 emu/g) and the immobilized laccase with MNPs (4 emu/g) was analyzed using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Maximum activity of immobilized laccase was observed at pH 7.0 and 55 °C. The immobilized laccase has greater stability (100 h) and significant chlorpyrifos (pesticide) degradation activity. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) results confirmed the degraded metabolic products of chlorpyrifos. In all, the immobilized laccase was superior to free laccase, showing promising structural and application characteristics.

Abstract
In this study, we used a simple in-situ biomineralization method to immobilize Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis)-derived laccase into the copper-Trimesic acid framework (Cu-BTC), and the synthesized Laccase@Cu-BTC particles were used to degrade tetracycline and ampicillin. Compared with free laccase, the Laccase@Cu-BTC showed 16.5-fold of activity recovery, higher thermo-tolerant performance, more excellent acid-proof ability and reusability. Without any mediators, Laccase@Cu-BTC displayed high degradation efficiency (nearly 100%) for tetracycline and ampicillin in some actual water. The degradation mechanism and proposed degradation pathways of tetracycline and ampicillin were discussed technically. Besides, bacteriostatic assay and survival test of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and B. subtilis confirmed the loss of antibiotic activity for tetracycline and ampicillin, as well as the low ecotoxicity of the degradation products. Our research demonstrates that Laccase@Cu-BTC has excellent performance in the effective removal of antibiotics and the detoxification of degradation products, which make it a promising candidate for environmental recovery.

Abstract
Inevitable use of pesticides due to modern agricultural practices and the associated worldwide environmental pollution has called the special attention of the researchers to overcome the persistence, recalcitrance, and multi-faceted toxicity of pesticides-based emerging contaminants. Some restricted use pesticides (RUPs) are highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals that can be easily accumulated into non-target organisms, including humans, aquatic invertebrates, algae, and microbes. With regard to physicochemical strategies, enzymes-mediated bioremediation is a compelling and meaningful strategy for biodegradation and biotransformation of pesticides into harmless chemical species. Oxidoreductases hydrolases and transferases are among the most representative classes of enzymes pursued and engineered for this purpose. Ligninolytic enzymes, particularly laccases, are of exceptional interest due to high efficiency, specificity, eco-sustainability, and wide-ranging substrates. However, the use of native enzymes is often hindered in industrial processes for the effective removal of refractory compounds by their high cost and susceptibility. Many of these drawbacks can be addressed by enzyme immobilization on some suitable support materials. Increase in stability, reusability, reduction of product inhibition, enhanced activity, specificity, and easier product separation are amid the desirable characteristics of immobilization to construct biocatalysts for continuous systems. This review summarizes recent and up-to-date literature on the use of enzymes, explicitly, free as well as immobilized laccases in the degradation of different pesticides. In the first part, source and occurrence of pesticides in the environment, their types, and associated detrimental effects on the ecosystem/human health are comprehensively described. Afterward, we highlighted the use of different enzymes with a particular emphasis on laccase for the degradation and detoxification of an array of pesticides. Finally, the review is closed with concluding remarks, and possible future direction is proposed in this very important research arena. In conclusion, it is envisioned that effective deployment of laccase-assisted biocatalytic systems for the degradation or removal of diverse pesticides and related contaminants will help to better understand the persistence and removal fate of these hazardous pollutants. Moreover, the current research thrust presented in this review will additionally evoke researcher to engineer robust and sustainable processes to remediate pesticides-contaminated environmental matrices effectively.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known endocrine disruptor that poses concerning environmental and human-health related issues and ecological risks. It has been largely used as an intermediate in the manufacture of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. Traces of BPA can reach into the environment through inadequate or inefficient removal during wastewater treatment, uncontrolled landfill leachates, and leaching out from the discarded BPA-based materials. Several physicochemical treatment methods including adsorption, Fenton, ozonation, electrochemical and photochemical degradation, and membrane filtration, have been applied for BPA elimination. However, these methods are not adequate for large-scale treatment due to some inherent limitations. Benefiting from high catalytic efficiency and specificity, enzyme-based bio-catalytic degradation strategies are considered quite meaningful alternative for efficient and effective BPA removal from different routes. Among various oxidoreductases, i.e., laccases exhibited a superior potential for the remediation of BPA-containing wastewater. Enzymatic oxidation of BPA can be boosted by using various natural or synthetic redox mediators. Immobilized enzymes can expand their applicability to continuous bioprocessing and facilitates process intensification. Therefore, optimized formulations of insolubilized biocatalysts are of strategic interest in the environmental biotechnology. In this review, recent research studies dealing with BPA removal by the laccase-catalyzed system are presented. At first, the presence of BPA in the ecosystem, sources, exposure, and its impact on the living organisms and human beings is summarized. Then, we highlighted the use of crude as well as immobilized laccases for the degradation of BPA. In addition to toxicity and estrogenicity removal studies, the unresolved challenges, concluding remarks, and possible future direction is proposed in this important research area. It is palpable from the literature reviewed that free as well as immobilized forms of laccases have displayed noteworthy potential for BPA removal from wastewater.
