Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a promising environmental resource. Enzyme catalysis, as one of the most environmentally friendly and efficient tools among various treatments, is used for the conversion of biomass into chemicals and fuels. Cellulase is a complex enzyme composed of β-glucosidase (BGL), endo-β-1,4-glucanase (EG), and exo-β-1,4-glucanase (CBH), which synergistically hydrolyzes cellulose into monosaccharides. BGL, which further deconstructs cellobiose and short-chain cellooligosaccharides obtained by EG and CBH catalysis into glucose, is the most sensitive component of the synergistic enzyme system constituted by the three enzymes and is highly susceptible to inactivation by external conditions, becoming the rate-limiting component in biomass conversion. This paper firstly introduces the source and catalytic mechanism of BGL used in the process of biomass resource utilization. The focus is on the review of various factors affecting BGL activity during hydrolysis, including competitive adsorption of lignin, gas-liquid interface inactivation, thermal inactivation, and solvent effect. And the methods to improve BGL inactivation are proposed from two aspects-substrate initiation and enzyme initiation. In particular, the screening, modification, and alteration of the enzyme molecules themselves are discussed with emphasis. This review can provide novel ideas for studies of BGL inactivation mechanism, containment of inactivation, and activity enhancement. KEY POINTS: • Factors affecting β-glucosidase inactivation are described. • Process intensification is presented in terms of substrate and enzyme. • Solvent selection, protein engineering, and immobilization remain topics of interest.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:5063-5079. [PMID: 35833950 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-12064-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Beta-glucosidase (Bgl) is an enzyme with considerable food, beverage, and biofuel processing potential. However, as many Bgls are inhibited by their reaction end product glucose, their industrial applications are greatly limited. In this study, a novel Bgl gene (Bgl1973) was cloned from Leifsonia sp. ZF2019 and heterologously expressed in E. coli. Sequence analysis and structure modeling revealed that Bgl1973 was 748 aa, giving it a molecular weight of 78 kDa, and it showed high similarity with the glycoside hydrolase 3 (GH3) family Bgls with which its active site residues were conserved. By using pNPGlc (p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside) as substrate, the optimum temperature and pH of Bgl1973 were shown to be 50 °C and 7.0, respectively. Bgl1973 was insensitive to most metal ions (12.5 mM), 1% urea, and even 0.1% Tween-80. This enzyme maintained 60% of its original activity in the presence of 20% NaCl, demonstrating its excellent salt tolerance. Furthermore, it still had 83% residual activity in 1 M of glucose, displaying its outstanding glucose tolerance. The Km, Vmax, and kcat of Bgl1973 were 0.22 mM, 44.44 μmol/min mg, and 57.78 s-1, respectively. Bgl1973 had a high specific activity for pNPGlc (19.10 ± 0.59 U/mg) and salicin (20.43 ± 0.92 U/mg). Furthermore, molecular docking indicated that the glucose binding location and the narrow and deep active channel geometry might contribute to the glucose tolerance of Bgl1973. Our results lay a foundation for the studying of this glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase and its applications in many industrial settings. KEY POINTS: • A novel β-glucosidase from GH3 was obtained from Leifsonia sp. ZF2019. • Bgl1973 demonstrated excellent glucose tolerance. • The glucose tolerance of Bgl1973 was explained using molecular docking analysis.

Recombinant Family 1 Carbohydrate-Binding Modules Derived From Fungal Cellulase Enhance Enzymatic Degradation of Lignocellulose as Novel Effective Accessory Protein. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:876466. [PMID: 35898911 PMCID: PMC9309510 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.876466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Fungal cellulases usually contain a family 1 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM1), and its role was considered to recognize the substrate specifically. This study testified that the CBM1s derived from cellobiohydrolase I of Trichoderma reesei, Penicillium oxalicum, and Penicillium funiculosum could be used as an effective accessory protein in cellulase cocktails to enhance the saccharification of lignocellulose, and its enhancement effect was significantly superior to some reported accessory proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA). The promoting effects of the CBM1s were related to not only the CBM1 sources and protein dosages, but also the substrate characteristics and solid consistency during enzymatic hydrolysis. The adsorption capacity of the CBM1s, the adsorption kinetic of TrCBM from T. reesei and cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase, and β-glucosidase from P. oxalicum, and the effect of adding TrCBM on enzyme activities of free cellulases in the hydrolysis system were investigated, and the binding conformations and affinities of CBM1s to cellulose and lignin were predicted by molecular docking. It was speculated that the higher affinity of the CBM1s to lignin than cellulases could potentially enable the CBM1s to displace cellulase adsorbed on lignin or to preferentially adsorb onto lignin to avoid ineffective adsorption of cellulase onto lignin, which enhanced cellulase system efficiency during enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose.

Abstract
Nonionic surfactants are reported as being able to enhance enzyme stability and increase the conversion of enzymatic reactions. Surfactant-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis conversion is affected by surfactant HLB values. This work investigated the influence of nonionic surfactants with different HLB values on chitosan enzymatic hydrolysis using cellulase enzyme by measuring the reducing sugars formation, viscosity, and molecular weight of hydrolyzed chitosan. A characterization analysis of hydrolyzed products was also carried out. A higher HLB value exhibits a better enzymatic chitosan hydrolysis performance, shown by the decrease in a solution’s viscosity and the increase in reducing sugar formation. Increasing the surfactant concentration will also increase the hydrolysis rate. Nonionic surfactants can protect cellulase enzyme from the denaturation of temperature and stirring influence. The higher the HLB value, the lower the molecular weight of the hydrolyzed chitosan. The result of UV–Vis demonstrated aldehyde groups formation during hydrolysis. The SEM analysis showed that the chitosan, hydrolyzed using different HLB values of surfactants, had different surface morphologies. However, it did not change the chemical structure of the hydrolysis product seen by the FTIR analysis. The XRD patterns showed that the relative crystallinity of raw chitosan decreased when hydrolyzed with surfactants.

Abstract
From energy perspective, with abundant polysaccharides (45-85%), the renewable lignocellulosic is recognized as the 2nd generation feedstock for bioethanol and bio-based products production. Enzymatic hydrolysis is a critical pathway to yield fermentable monosaccharides from pretreated substrates of lignocellulose. Nevertheless, the lignin presence in lignocellulosic substrates leads to the low substrate enzymatic digestibility ascribed to the nonproductive adsorption. It has been reported that the water-soluble lignin (low molecular weight, sulfonated/sulfomethylated and graft polymer) enhance the rate of enzymatic digestibility, however, the catalytic mechanism of lignin-enzyme interaction remains elusive. In this review, optimization strategies for enzymatic hydrolysis based on the lignin structural modification, enzyme engineering, and different additives are critically reviewed. Lignin-enzyme interaction mechanism is also discussed (lignin and various cellulases). In addition, the mathematical models and simulation of lignin, cellulose and enzyme aims for promoting an integrated biomass-conversion process for sustainable production of value-added biofuels.

Abstract
In this work, effects of sulfomethylated lignins (SLs) prepared from masson pine (SLM) and poplar (SLP) on enzymatic hydrolysis and cellulase-lignin interaction were comparatively investigated. The results showed that both SLM and SLP significantly promoted the substrate enzymatic digestibility. The total sugar yield increased from 38.6% to 74.4% and ∼ 100%, respectively at 10 FPU/g-cellulose of cellulase dosage. The protein content in hydrolysate linearly increased with the addition of SL (0 - 1.6 g/g-substrate lignin), which suggested the competitive adsorption of cellulase may occur to substrate lignin and SLs. Further structural analysis of lignin revealed the high S/(V + H) ratio was directly related to the high enzymatic saccharification efficiency. The strong interaction between SL and cellulase decreased the nonproductive adsorption of cellulase onto substrate lignin and increased the accessibility of cellulase to carbohydrate, which was considered to be the key factor for the improvement of substrate enzymatic digestibility.

Abstract
Bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosics to produce liquid fuels and chemicals is one of the most effective ways to solve the problem of fossil resource shortage, energy security, and environmental challenges. Among the many biorefinery pathways, hydrolysis of lignocellulosics to fermentable monosaccharides by cellulase is arguably the most critical step of lignocellulose bioconversion. In the process of enzymatic hydrolysis, the direct physical contact between enzymes and cellulose is an essential prerequisite for the hydrolysis to occur. However, lignin is considered one of the most recalcitrant factors hindering the accessibility of cellulose by binding to cellulase unproductively, which reduces the saccharification rate and yield of sugars. This results in high costs for the saccharification of carbohydrates. The various interactions between enzymes and lignin have been explored from different perspectives in literature, and a basic lignin inhibition mechanism has been proposed. However, the exact interaction between lignin and enzyme as well as the recently reported promotion of some types of lignin on enzymatic hydrolysis is still unclear at the molecular level. Multiple analytical techniques have been developed, and fully unlocking the secret of lignin-enzyme interactions would require a continuous improvement of the currently available analytical techniques. This review summarizes the current commonly used advanced research analytical techniques for investigating the interaction between lignin and enzyme, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy (FLS), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Interdisciplinary integration of these analytical methods is pursued to provide new insight into the interactions between lignin and enzymes. This review will serve as a resource for future research seeking to develop new methodologies for a better understanding of the basic mechanism of lignin-enzyme binding during the critical hydrolysis process.

Abstract
Orientin and vitexin, important components of bamboo-leaf extracts, are C-glycosylflavones which exhibit a number of interesting biological properties. In this work, we developed an efficient biocatalytic cascade for orientin and vitexin production consisting of Trollius chinensis C-glycosyltransferase (TcCGT) and Glycine max sucrose synthase (GmSUS). In order to relieve the bottleneck of the biocatalytic cascade, the biocatalytic efficiency, reaction condition compatibilities and the ratio of the enzymes were determined. We found that the specific activity of TcCGT was significantly influenced by enzyme dose and Triton X-100 or Tween 20 (0.2%). Co-culture of BL21-TcCGT-Co and BL21-GmSUS-Co affected the catalytic efficiency of TcCGT and GmSUS, and the maximum orientin production rate reached 47 μM/min at the inoculation ratio of 9:1. The optimal pH and temperature for the biocatalytic cascade were pH 7.5 and 30 °C, respectively. Moreover, the high dose of the enzymes can improve the tolerance of biocatalytic cascade to substrate inhibition in the one-pot reaction. By using a fed-batch strategy, maximal titers of orientin and vitexin reached 7090 mg/L with a corresponding molar conversion of 98.7% and 5050 mg/L with a corresponding molar conversion of 97.3%, respectively, which is the highest titer reported to date. Therefore, the method described herein for efficient production of orientin and vitexin by modulating catalytic efficiencies of enzymes can be widely used for the C-glycosylation of flavonoids.

Abstract
The use of additives in the enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass can have positive effects, decreasing the unproductive adsorption of cellulases on lignin and reducing the loss of enzyme activity. Soybean protein stands out as a potential lignin-blocking additive, but the economic impact of its use has not previously been investigated. Here, a systematic evaluation was performed of the process conditions, together with a techno-economic analysis, for the use of soybean protein in the saccharification of hydrothermally pretreated sugarcane bagasse in the context of an integrated 1G-2G ethanol biorefinery. Statistical experimental design methodology was firstly applied as a tool to select the process variable solids loading at 15% (w/w) and soybean protein concentration at 12% (w/w), followed by determination of enzyme dosage at 10 FPU/g and hydrolysis time of 24 h. The saccharification of sugarcane bagasse under these conditions enabled an increase of 26% in the amount of glucose released, compared to the control without additive. The retro-techno-economic analysis (RTEA) technique showed that to make the biorefinery economically feasible, some performance targets should be reached experimentally such as increasing biomass conversion to ideally 80% and reducing enzyme loading to 5.6 FPU/g in the presence of low-cost soybean protein.

Abstract
Natural lignocellulose is used as raw material to produce chemicals through biological transformation. The accessibility of cellulase to substrate was also one of the limiting factors of industrial production. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) can be used as additive in enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose. In this study, enzymatic activity on simultaneous or non-simultaneous addition of PEG 4000 was investigated, and the partly delignified rice straw, the rice straw and filter paper were used as substrates, respectively. Enzyme activity was characterized by reducing sugar concentration in supernatant which was quantified through 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. Addition of PEG has been proven to facilitate enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials. Furthermore, PEG had the positive effect on hydrolytic enzyme activity of pure cellulose materials without lignin. Changes in lignocellulose materials have been observed by inverted microscope and Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and no chemical changes were shown by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The promotion of PEG on enzymatic hydrolysis of pure cellulose materials may be due to its loose physical structure and similar phenomenon in natural lignin materials. PEG loosens the physical structure of lignocellulose, thus facilitating enzymatic hydrolysis. This may be a new idea to optimize the lignocellulosic enzymatic hydrolysis process.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the effects of pretreatment process, hydrolysis condition and structural features of lignin on the improving action of surfactants (Tween 20) for enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated wheat straw, and further to interpret the relation of these factors with the non-productive adsorption of cellulases on lignin. Tween 20 seemed to be more greatly improve cellulose conversion under harsher conditions. The surfactant showed more significant improvement for acid-pretreated substrates than oxidative-pretreated substrates. Highly-condensed lignin and phenolic hydroxyl groups showed much stronger adsorption ability to cellulases, while Tween 20 could well block the lignin-cellulase interactions recovering cellulose hydrolyzability. It was proposed that pretreatments altered lignin structures, resulting in the change of surface properties thus further impacting the lignin-cellulase interactions. Addition of Tween 20 could modify lignin surface properties to change its hydrophobicity, hydrogen bonding ability and surface charges, thus reducing the non-productive adsorption of proteins.

Abstract
An efficient pretreatment with various concentrations of FeCl3 (0.005-0.2 mol/L) was developed to extract hemicellulose in sugarcane bagasse and enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose in pretreated solids. It was found that 0.025 mol/L FeCl3 pretreated substrate yielded a high glucose yield of 80.1% during enzymatic hydrolysis. Then the characterization of raw material and pretreated solids was carried out to better understand how hemicellulose removal affected subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. In addition, Tween 80 and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) were added to promote enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated substrate. Together with that obtained from pretreatment, the highest glucose yield reached 97.7% with addition of Tween 80, meanwhile, a reduction of 50% loading of enzyme yielded the same level of glucose. However, the increased yields with additives decreased gradually as the hydrolysis time was extended. Furthermore, the enhancement mechanisms of Tween 80 and BSA were determined.

Abstract
Many positive effects of additives on enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials have been investigated, but limited information has been reported on the use of long-chain fatty alcohols (LFAs) for enzymatic hydrolysis by biospired models. In this study, effects of LFAs on enzymatic hydrolysis were evaluated using biomimetic film asa structure model. LFAs clearly improved the digestibility of cellulose film from 65.1% to 77.9%, which was higher than that the digestibility of lignin-cellulose film from 53.9% to 66.2%. Further study indicated that the promotion ascribed to the effect of LFAs, which might provide more active points of chemical reaction and keep the stability of cellulase. Moreover, the digestibility of lignin-cellulose film increased by 12.3%, which might because the denaturation and nonproductive adsorption of cellulase were well prevented by supplementation of LFAs. An efficient strategy was developed to improve the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency in the study of lignocellulosic bioconversion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The lignin can compete for binding cellulase enzymes with cellulose fibers and decrease the accessibility of enzymes to carbohydrates. The competitive adsorption of cellulase to lignin mainly depended on the chemical structure of lignin. The post-pretreatment can decrease the lignin content and modify the lignin structure of pretreated substrates, which reduced the lignin inhibition on enzymatic saccharification. Therefore, the post-treatment by modifying the lignin structure would attract considerable attention for weakening the cellulase-lignin interactions. RESULTS Three modified lignins, including sulfonated lignin (SL), oxidized lignin (OL), and carboxylated lignin (CL), were prepared from alkali lignin (AL) and their structures and physicochemical properties were characterized using FTIR, NMR, XPS analysis, zeta potential, and contact angle, respectively. Compared to AL, three modified lignin preparations exhibited the decrease in contact angle by 61-70% and phenolic hydroxyls content by 17-80%, and an obvious increase of negative charges by about 21-45%. This was mainly due to the drop of condensation degree and the incorporation of carboxylic and sulfonic acid groups into modified lignins. Langmuir adsorption isotherms showed that the affinity strength between cellulase and modified lignins significantly reduced by 54-80%. Therefore, the 72 h hydrolysis yield of Avicel with SL, OL, and CL was 48.5, 51.3, and 49.4%, respectively, which was increased 8-15.3% than that of Avicel with AL, 44.5%. In the enzymatic hydrolysis of bamboo biomass, the glucose yield at 5 d was 38.5% for AS-P. amarus, 15.4% for AO-P. amarus and 21.4% for AC-P. amarus, respectively, which were 1.4-3.5 times of alkali pretreated P. amarus. CONCLUSIONS The post-treatment can weaken the nonproductive adsorption between lignin and cellulase proteins and improve the enzymatic saccharification efficiency. This study will provide a conceptual combination of pretreatment technologies and post-pretreatment by modifying lignin structure for reducing the cellulase-lignin interaction.

Abstract
Enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis of pretreated wheat straw pulp to glucose is enhanced when the hydrolysis is performed in the presence of an aqueous extract of the wheat straw. A relative digestibility increase of about 10% has been observed for organosolv, alkaline and dilute acid pretreated wheat straw pulp (enzyme dose 2.5FPU/g pulp). At lower enzyme doses, the extract effect increases leading to an enzyme dose reduction of 40% to obtain a glucose yield of 75% within 48h using organosolv wheat straw pulp. Possibly, cellulase deactivation by irreversible binding to pulp lignin is reduced by competition with proteins in the extract. However, since the extract effect has also been demonstrated for lignin-lean substrates, other effects like improved accessibility of the pulp cellulose (amorphogenesis) cannot be excluded. Overall, this contribution demonstrates the positive effect of biomass extractives on enzymatic cellulose digestibility, thereby reducing costs for 2G biofuels and bio-based chemicals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Considerable works have been reported concerning the obstruction of enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency by lignin. However, there is a lack of information about the influence of lignin on the adsorption of cellulases on cellulose, along with the hydrolytic activity of the cellulases adsorbed on lignin. In addition, limited discovery has been reported about the influence of additives on cellulase desorption from lignin and lignocellulosic materials. In this work, the effects of lignin on cellulase adsorption and hydrolysis of Avicel were investigated and the effects of Tween 80 on cellulases adsorption and desorption on/from lignin and corn stover were explored. RESULTS The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of Avicel reduced from 276.9 to 179.7 and 112.1 mg/g cellulose with the addition of 1 and 10 mg lignin per gram Avicel, which indicated that lignin adsorbed on Avicel reduced surface area of cellulose and lignin available for cellulases. Cellulases adsorbed on lignin could be released by reaching new adsorption equilibrium between lignin and supernatants. In addition, cellulases desorbed from lignin still possess hydrolytic capacity. Tween 80 could adsorb onto both lignin and corn stover, and reduce the cellulase adsorption on them. Furthermore, Tween 80 could enhance desorption of cellulases from both lignin and corn stover, which might be due to the competitive adsorption between cellulases and Tween 80 on them. CONCLUSIONS The presence of lignin decreased the maximum adsorption capacity of cellulases on cellulose and the cellulases adsorbed on lignin could be released to supernatant, exhibiting hydrolytic activity. Tween 80 could alleviate the adsorption of cellulases and enhanced desorption of cellulases on/from lignin and corn stover. The conclusions of this work help us further understanding the role of lignin in the reduction of adsorption of cellulases on substrates, and the function of additives in cellulases adsorption and desorption on/from lignin and substrates.

Abstract
Chemical additives were examined for ability to increase the enzymatic hydrolysis of thermo-acidically pretreated wheat straw by Trichoderma reesei cellulase at 50 °C. Semi-empirical descriptors derived from the hydrolysis time courses were applied to compare influence of these additives on lignocellulose bioconversion on a kinetic level, presenting a novel view on their mechanism of action. Focus was on rate retardation during hydrolysis, substrate conversion and enzyme adsorption. PEG 8000 enabled a reduction of enzyme loading by 50% while retaining the same conversion of 67% after 24h. For the first time, a beneficial effect of urea is reported, increasing the final substrate conversion after 48 h by 16%. The cationic surfactant cetyl-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) enhanced the hydrolysis rate at extended reaction time (rlim) by 34% and reduced reaction time by 28%. A combination of PEG 8000 and urea increased sugar release more than additives used individually.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of biomass-degrading enzymes (such as cellobiohydrolases) in transgenic plants has the potential to reduce the costs of biomass saccharification by providing a source of enzymes to supplement commercial cellulase mixtures. Cellobiohydrolases are the main enzymes in commercial cellulase mixtures. In the present study, a cellobiohydrolase was expressed in transgenic corn stover leaf and assessed as an additive for two commercial cellulase mixtures for the saccharification of pretreated sugar cane bagasse obtained by different processes. RESULTS Recombinant cellobiohydrolase in the senescent leaves of transgenic corn was extracted using a simple buffer with no concentration step. The extract significantly enhanced the performance of Celluclast 1.5 L (a commercial cellulase mixture) by up to fourfold on sugar cane bagasse pretreated at the pilot scale using a dilute sulfuric acid steam explosion process compared to the commercial cellulase mixture on its own. Also, the extracts were able to enhance the performance of Cellic CTec2 (a commercial cellulase mixture) up to fourfold on a range of residues from sugar cane bagasse pretreated at the laboratory (using acidified ethylene carbonate/ethylene glycol, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, and ball-milling) and pilot (dilute sodium hydroxide and glycerol/hydrochloric acid steam explosion) scales. We have demonstrated using tap water as a solvent (under conditions that mimic an industrial process) extraction of about 90% recombinant cellobiohydrolase from senescent, transgenic corn stover leaf that had minimal tissue disruption. CONCLUSIONS The accumulation of recombinant cellobiohydrolase in senescent, transgenic corn stover leaf is a viable strategy to reduce the saccharification cost associated with the production of fermentable sugars from pretreated biomass. We envisage an industrial-scale process in which transgenic plants provide both fibre and biomass-degrading enzymes for pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, respectively.

Abstract
A metagenomic library was constructed from microorganisms associated with the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum. Functional screening of this library revealed 13 novel putative esterase loci and two glycoside hydrolase loci. Sequence and gene cluster analysis showed the wide diversity of the identified enzymes and gave an idea of the microbial populations present during the sample collection period. Lastly, an endo-β-1,4-glucanase having less than 50% identity to sequences of known cellulases was purified and partially characterized, showing activity at low temperature and after prolonged incubation in concentrated salt solutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lignin is a complex polymer which inhibits the enzymatic conversion of cellulose to glucose in lignocellulose biomass for biofuel production. Cellulase enzymes irreversibly bind to lignin, deactivating the enzyme and lowering the overall activity of the hydrolyzing reaction solution. Within this study, atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to compare the adhesion forces between cellulase and lignin with the forces between cellulase and cellulose, and to study the moiety groups involved in binding of cellulase to lignin. RESULTS Trichoderma reesei, ATCC 26921, a commercial cellulase system, was immobilized onto silicon wafers and used as a substrate to measure forces involved in cellulase non-productive binding to lignin. Attraction forces between cellulase and lignin, and between cellulase and cellulose were compared using kraft lignin- and hydroxypropyl cellulose-coated tips with the immobilized cellulase substrate. The measured adhesion forces between kraft lignin and cellulase were on average 45% higher than forces between hydroxypropyl cellulose and cellulase. Specialized AFM tips with hydrophobic, -OH, and -COOH chemical characteristics were used with immobilized cellulase to represent hydrophobic, H-bonding, and charge-charge interactions, respectively. Forces between hydrophobic tips and cellulase were on average 43% and 13% higher than forces between cellulase with tips exhibiting OH and COOH groups, respectively. A strong attractive force during the AFM tip approach to the immobilized cellulase was observed with the hydrophobic tip. CONCLUSIONS This work shows that there is a greater overall attraction between kraft lignin and cellulase than between hydroxypropyl cellulose and cellulase, which may have implications during the enzymatic reaction process. Furthermore, hydrophobic interactions appear to be the dominating attraction force in cellulase binding to lignin, while a number of other interactions may establish the irreversible binding.

Abstract
We studied the mechanism of the significant enhancement in the enzymatic saccharification of lignocelluloses at an elevated pH of 5.5-6.0. Four lignin residues with different sulfonic acid contents were isolated from enzymatic hydrolysis of lodgepole pine pretreated by either dilute acid (DA) or sulfite pretreatment to overcome recalcitrance of lignocelluloses (SPORL). The adsorption isotherms of a commercial Trichoderma reesi cellulase cocktail (CTec2) produced by these lignin residues at 50 °C were measured in the pH range of 4.5-6.0. The zeta potentials of these lignin samples were also measured. We discovered that an elevated pH significantly increased the lignin surface charge (negative), which causes lignin to become more hydrophilic and reduces its coordination affinity to cellulase and, consequently, the nonspecific binding of cellulase. The decreased nonspecific cellulase binding to lignin is also attributed to enhanced electrostatic interactions at elevated pH through the increased negative charges of cellulase enzymes with low pI. The results validate the hypothesis that the increases in enzymatic saccharification efficiencies at elevated pH for different pretreated lignocelluloses are solely the result of decreased nonspecific cellulase binding to lignin. This study contradicts the well-established concept that the optimal pH is 4.8-5.0 for enzymatic hydrolysis using Trichoderma reesi cellulose, which is widely accepted and exclusively practiced in numerous laboratories throughout the world. Because an elevated pH can be easily implemented commercially without capital cost and with minimal operating cost, this study has both scientific importance and practical significance.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was added to filter paper during the hydrolysis of cellulase. Adding BSA before the addition of the cellulase enhances enzyme activity in the solution, thereby increasing the conversion rate of cellulose. After 48 h of BSA treatment, the BSA adsorption quantities are 3.3, 4.6, 7.8, 17.2, and 28.3 mg/g substrate, each with different initial BSA concentration treatments at 50 °C; in addition, more cellulase was adsorbed onto the filter paper at 50 °C compared with 35 °C. After 48 h of hydrolysis, the free-enzyme activity could not be measured without the BSA treatment, whereas the remaining activity of the filter paper activity was approximately 41 % when treated with 1.0 mg/mL BSA. Even after 96 h of hydrolysis, 25 % still remained. Meanwhile, after 48 h of incubation without substrate, the remaining enzyme activities were increased 20.7 % (from 43.7 to 52.7 %) and 94.8 % (from 23.3 to 45.5 %) at 35 and 50 °C, respectively. Moreover, the effect of the BSA was more obvious at 35 °C compared with 50 °C. When using 15 filter paper cellulase units per gram substrate cellulase loading at 50 °C, the cellulose conversion was increased from 75 % (without BSA treatment) to ≥90 % when using BSA dosages between 0.1 and 1.5 mg/mL. Overall, these results suggest that there are promising strategies for BSA treatment in the reduction of enzyme requirements during the hydrolysis of cellulose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonspecific (nonproductive) binding (adsorption) of cellulase by lignin has been identified as a key barrier to reduce cellulase loading for economical sugar and biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass. Sulfite Pretreatment to Overcome Recalcitrance of Lignocelluloses (SPORL) is a relatively new process, but demonstrated robust performance for sugar and biofuel production from woody biomass especially softwoods in terms of yields and energy efficiencies. This study demonstrated the role of lignin sulfonation in enhancing enzymatic saccharification of lignocelluloses - lignosulfonate from SPORL can improve enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocelluloses, contrary to the conventional belief that lignin inhibits enzymatic hydrolysis due to nonspecific binding of cellulase. RESULTS The study found that lignosulfonate from SPORL pretreatment and from a commercial source inhibits enzymatic hydrolysis of pure cellulosic substrates at low concentrations due to nonspecific binding of cellulase. Surprisingly, the reduction in enzymatic saccharification efficiency of a lignocellulosic substrate was fully recovered as the concentrations of these two lignosulfonates increased. We hypothesize that lignosulfonate serves as a surfactant to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis at higher concentrations and that this enhancement offsets its inhibitive effect from nonspecific binding of cellulase, when lignosulfonate is applied to lignocellulosic solid substrates. Lignosulfonate can block nonspecific binding of cellulase by bound lignin on the solid substrates, in the same manner as a nonionic surfactant, to significantly enhance enzymatic saccharification. This enhancement is linearly proportional to the amount of lignosulfonate applied which is very important to practical applications. For a SPORL-pretreated lodgepole pine solid, 90% cellulose saccharification was achieved at cellulase loading of 13 FPU/g glucan with the application of its corresponding pretreatment hydrolysate coupled with increasing hydrolysis pH to above 5.5 compared with only 51% for the control run without lignosulfonate at pH 5.0. The pH-induced lignin surface modification at pH 5.5 further reduced nonspecific binding of cellulase by lignosulfonate. CONCLUSIONS The results reported in this study suggest significant advantages for SPORL-pretreatment in terms of reducing water usage and enzyme dosage, and simplifying process integration, i.e., it should eliminate washing of SPORL solid fraction for direct simultaneous enzymatic saccharification and combined fermentation of enzymatic and pretreatment hydrolysates (SSCombF). Elevated pH 5.5 or higher, rather than the commonly believed optimal and widely practiced pH 4.8-5.0, should be used in conducting enzymatic saccharification of lignocelluloses.

Abstract
Endoglucanase B (EGLB) derived from Aspergillus niger BCRC31494 has been used in the food fermentation industry because of its thermal and alkaline tolerance. It was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris. According to sequence analysis, the gene open reading frame comprises 1,217 bp with five introns (GenBank GQ292753). According to sequence and protein domain analyses, EGLB was assigned to glycosyl hydrolase family 5 of the cellulase superfamily. Several binding sites were found in the promoter region. The purified recombinant enzyme was induced by 0.5% methanol, and it exhibited optimal activity at 70 °C and pH 4. EGLB was stable for 3 h at temperatures below 60 °C, with more than 90% of its activity remaining. The enzyme was specific for substrates with β-1,3 and β-1,4 linkages. In Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis, the Km and Vmax values of EGLB for β-D-glucan were 134 mg/mL and 4.68 U/min/mg, respectively. The enzyme activity was increased by 1.86-fold by Co2+ and by 2-fold by Triton X-100 and Tween 80. These favorable properties make EGLB a potential candidate for use in laundry and textile industrial applications.

Abstract
Clostridium thermocellum is known to produce the cellulosomes with efficient plant cell wall degradation ability. To bring out the maximum cellulolytic ability of the cellulosomes, it is necessary to eliminate the end product inhibition by cellobiose. Combinations of β-glucosidases from thermophilic anaerobic bacteria and Aspergillusniger and C.thermocellum S14 cellulosomes were evaluated for optimization of cellulose degradation. β-Glucosidase (CglT) from Thermoanaerobacterbrockii, in combination with cellulosomes, exhibited remarkable saccharification ability for microcrystalline cellulose. When rice straw, soaked in 28% aqueous ammonia for 7 days at 60°C, was hydrolyzed by an enzyme loading combination of 2mg cellulosome and 10 units CglT per g glucan, 91% of glucan was hydrolyzed to glucose, indicating roughly1/10 the enzyme load of a Trichodermareesei cellulase (Celluclast 1.5L) and Novozyme-188 combination is enough for the combination of C.thermocellum S14 cellulosomes and CglT to achieve the same level of saccharification of rice straw.

Abstract
In this work, we found that Tween 20 treatment (0-8 mM) contributed to the cell wall collapse of most samples except for those with high lignin contents and high crystallinity. Cell wall collapse contributed to the formation of 10- to 50-nm pores and not only increased the monolayer saturation amount of adsorbed cellulase about 3-3.6 times but also increased the cellulase adsorption rate (D(e)/r(2)) about 160-880 times. Moreover, cellulose conversion at 72 h was also increased 8.7-21.5% by Tween 20 treatment. On the other hand, the adsorption of Tween 20 on Avicel (microcrystalline cellulose) hindered the cellulase reaction (adsorption and saccharification). The effect of Tween 20 treatment on the crystalline part was insignificant for both lignocelluloses and Avicel. It was found that some degree of pretreatment (e.g. lignin removal) that enhances Tween 20 diffusion into samples is necessary to obtain the structural effects of Tween 20.
