Abstract
Bee-collected pollen (BCP) and bee bread (BB) are honey bee products known for their beneficial biological properties. The main goal of this study was to investigate BB microbiota and its contribution to bioactivity exerted by BB. The microbiota of BB samples collected at different maturation stages was investigated via culture-independent (Next Generation Sequencing, NGS) and culture-dependent methods. Microbial communities dynamically fluctuate during BB maturation, ending in a stable microbial community structure in mature BB. Bee bread bacterial isolates were tested for phenotypes and genes implicated in the production and secretion of enzymes as well as antibacterial activity. Out of 309 bacterial isolates, 41 secreted hemicellulases, 13 cellulases, 39 amylases, 132 proteinases, 85 Coomassie brilliant blue G or R dye-degrading enzymes and 72 Malachite Green dye-degrading enzymes. Furthermore, out of 309 bacterial isolates, 42 exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, 34 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 47 against Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium and 43 against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Artificially fermented samples exerted higher antibacterial activity compared to fresh BCP, strongly indicating that BB microbiota contribute to BB antibacterial activity. Our findings suggest that BB microbiota is an underexplored source of novel antimicrobial agents and enzymes that could lead to new applications in medicine and the food industry.

[PMID: 37333658 PMCID: PMC10272570 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1167718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023] Open
Abstract
More than 20,000 species of prokaryotes (less than 1% of the estimated number of Earth's microbial species) have been described thus far. However, the vast majority of microbes that inhabit extreme environments remain uncultured and this group is termed "microbial dark matter." Little is known regarding the ecological functions and biotechnological potential of these underexplored extremophiles, thus representing a vast untapped and uncharacterized biological resource. Advances in microbial cultivation approaches are key for a detailed and comprehensive characterization of the roles of these microbes in shaping the environment and, ultimately, for their biotechnological exploitation, such as for extremophile-derived bioproducts (extremozymes, secondary metabolites, CRISPR Cas systems, and pigments, among others), astrobiology, and space exploration. Additional efforts to enhance culturable diversity are required due to the challenges imposed by extreme culturing and plating conditions. In this review, we summarize methods and technologies used to recover the microbial diversity of extreme environments, while discussing the advantages and disadvantages associated with each of these approaches. Additionally, this review describes alternative culturing strategies to retrieve novel taxa with their unknown genes, metabolisms, and ecological roles, with the ultimate goal of increasing the yields of more efficient bio-based products. This review thus summarizes the strategies used to unveil the hidden diversity of the microbiome of extreme environments and discusses the directions for future studies of microbial dark matter and its potential applications in biotechnology and astrobiology.

Abstract
This study focused on the biodegradation of LDPE films using a novel isolate of Bacillus obtained from soil samples collected from a 20-year-old plastic waste dump. The aim was to evaluate the biodegradability of LDPE films treated with this bacterial isolate. The results indicated a 43% weight loss of LDPE films within 120 days of treatment. The biodegradability of LDPE films was confirmed through various testing methods, including BATH, FDA, CO2 evolution tests, and changes in total cell growth count, protein content, viability, pH of the medium, and release of microplastics. The bacterial enzymes, including laccases, lipases, and proteases, were also identified. SEM analysis revealed biofilm formation and surface changes in treated LDPE films, while EDAX analysis showed a reduction in carbon elements. AFM analysis demonstrated differences in roughness compared to the control. Furthermore, wettability increased and tensile strength decreased, confirming the biodegradation of the isolate. FTIR spectral analysis showed changes in skeletal vibrations, such as stretches and bends, in the linear structure of polyethylene. FTIR imaging and GC-MS analysis also confirmed the biodegradation of LDPE films by the novel isolate identified as Bacillus cereus strain NJD1. The study highlights the potentiality of the bacterial isolate for safe and effective microbial remediation of LDPE films.

Abstract
The effluents generated in the paper industry, such as black liquor, have a high content of lignin and other toxic components; however, they represent a source of lignin-degrading bacteria with biotechnological potential. Therefore, the present study aimed to isolate and identify lignin-degrading bacteria species in paper mill sludge. A primary isolation was carried out from samples of sludge present in environments around a paper company located in the province of Ascope (Peru). Bacteria selection was made by the degradation of Lignin Kraft as the only carbon source in a solid medium. Finally, the laccase activity (Um-L-1) of each selected bacteria was determined by oxidation of 2,2'-azinobis-(3-etilbencenotiazolina-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). Bacterial species with laccase activity were identified by molecular biology techniques. Seven species of bacteria with laccase activity and the ability to degrade lignin were identified. The bacteria Agrobacterium tumefasciens (2), Klebsiella grimontii (1), and Beijeinckia fluminensis (1) were reported for first time. K. grimowntii and B. fluminensis presented the highest laccase activity, with values of 0.319 ± 0.005 UmL-1 and 0.329 ± 0.004 UmL-1, respectively. In conclusion, paper mill sludge may represent a source of lignin-degrading bacteria with laccase activity, and they could have potential biotechnological applications.

LD3 and its application in food waste composting. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:135859. [PMID: 35987270 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to isolate thermotolerant alkali lignin-degrading bacteria and to investigate their degradation characteristics and application in food waste composting. Two thermotolerant alkali lignin-degrading bacteria isolates were identified as Bacillus sp. LD2 (LD2) and a novel species Aneurinibacillus sp. LD3 (LD3). Compared with strain LD2, LD3 had a higher alkali lignin degradation rate (61.28%) and ligninolytic enzyme activities, and the maximum lignin peroxidase, laccase, and manganese peroxidase activities were 3117.25, 1484.5, and 1770.75 U L-1, respectively. GC-MS analysis revealed that low-molecular-weight compounds such as 4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxy acetophenone, vanillic acid, 1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl), benzoic acid, and octadecanoic acid were formed in the degradation of alkali lignin by LD3, indicating the cleavage of β-aryl ether, Cα-Cβ bonds, and aromatic rings in lignin. Composting results showed that inoculating LD3 improved the degradation of organic matter by 20.11% and reduced the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio (15.66). Additionally, a higher decrease in the content of lignocellulose was observed in the LD treatment. FTIR and 3D-EEM spectra analysis indicated that inoculating LD3 promoted the decomposition of easily available organic substances and lignocellulose and the formation of aromatic structures and humic acid-like substances. In brief, the thermotolerant lignin-degrading bacterium Aneurinibacillus sp. LD3 is effective in degrading lignin and improving the quality of composting.

Quantitative assessment of enzymatic processes applied to flavour and fragrance standard compounds using gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection.

Abstract
The performance of different enzymes towards the bioprocessing of aroma-related compounds was investigated and a strategy based on GC-FID analysis was developed to facilitate assessment of the stages of characterisation, screening and optimisation, including chiral ratio determination. Characterisation included activity assays (UV-Vis and GC-FID), protein quantification (NanoDrop spectrophotometry) and molar mass estimation (SDS-PAGE electrophoresis). Screening experiments assessed different enzymes, substrates, solvents, acyl donors or mediators. Aroma-related substrates comprised terpene and phenolic compounds. The enzymes tested included the lipases CALA (Sigma-Aldrich), NZ-435, LZ-TLIM, NC-ADL, LZ-CALBL and the laccases NZ-51003 and DL-IIS (all from Novozymes). Among those, NZ-435 and NZ-51003 had the highest activities in the characterisation stage and, along with CALA, achieved conversions above 70% for citronellol (lipases) or 50% for eugenol (laccases) at the screening stage. The lipases had preference for the primary alcohol and laccases for phenolic compounds, among the tested substrates. The transesterification reaction between the lipase CALA and the standards mixture (citronellol, menthol, linalool) was used to demonstrate the optimisation stage, where the best levels of temperature, enzyme and acyl donor concentrations were investigated. Optimum conditions were found to be 37-40 °C, 3-4 mg/mL of enzyme and 58-60% (v/v) vinyl acetate. Additional confirmation experiments using the same terpene standards mixture and citronella oil sample, gave a conversion of > 95% for citronellol after 1 h (for both, standards mixture and sample), and 20% or 74% for menthol after 1 h or 24 h, respectively. None of the tested enzymes demonstrated significant enantioselectivity under the tested conditions. The GC-FID approach demonstrated here was suitable to determine the reaction profiles and chiral ratio variations for biocatalysed reactions with aroma compounds in low complexity samples. Advanced separations will be applied to more complex samples in the future.

Abstract
Recent year, bacterial laccases are increasing interest in the field of industry and environmental applications especially decolorization of azo dyes. In industry, the dyes are present in stable nature including chemicals and lights. Due to these defects, the novel approaches are needed to removal of dyes before discharging into the environment. Among the various technologies, biological treatment methods and their strategies are very important, because of the decolorization and detoxification. Consecutively, biological mediated dyes removal are emerged with high potential especially microbes. Microbial laccases creates up new opportunities for their commercial applications. In this study, laccases were produced from Bacillus cereus (B. Cereus) and Pseudomonas parafulva (P. parafulva) by sub merged fermentation. For immobilization, the produced laccases were subjected to purify using 80% saturated ammonium sulphate and followed by dialysis. Then, crude laccases were immobilized through copper-alginate entrapment method. The maximum immobilized enzyme activity of the immobilized laccases were shown pH 8 at 50 °C and pH 7 at 40 °C for B. Cereus and P. parafulva respectively. In contrast, the normal enzyme activity was pH 10 at 40 °C and pH 8 at 40 °C were indicated for Bacillus cereus and P. parafulva respectively. Next, the free and immobilized laccases were performed the decolorization of three azo dyes T-blue, yellow GR and orange 3R, and exhibited that the 91.69 and 89.21% of Orange 3R were completely decolorized by both the B. Cereus and P. parafulva laccases when compared with free laccases enzymes. The confirmation of decolorization was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy, which clearly confirm the changes of peaks when compared with normal laccases. Finally, we have concluded that the B. Cereus and P. parafulva laccases are very important in azo dye decolorization and these used in future biological treatment of dyeing effluents.

Fast Electrochemical Measurement of Laccase Activity for Monitoring Grapes’ Infection with Botrytis cinerea. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Grapes’ infection with the fungi Botrytis cinerea is one of the major causes of economic loss in the winemaking sector worldwide. The laccase activity of grapes is considered an appropriate indicator of this type of fungal infection, and enzymatic activity higher than 3 U/mL indicates a high risk of irreversibly damaged grape must due to enzymatic browning. This work describes a fast test for the measurement of laccase activity based on a dual optical and electrochemical detection method. A paper sensor impregnated with the enzymatic substrate dye 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) provides a semi-quantitative optical measurement. While the paper sensor can be used independently, when combined with a screen-printed electrode and amperometry measurements, it enables the quantitative detection of laccase activities down to 0.4 U/mL in only 5 min. The method was applied for monitoring the artificial infection of white, rosé, and red grapes with different strains of Botrytis cinerea. The results were confirmed by parallel analysis using the spectrophotometric method of laccase activity determination based on syringaldazine. The influence of the fungal strain and type of grape on laccase activity levels is reported. The demonstrated robustness, simplicity, and versatility of the developed method make it ideal for application on-site in the vineyard or at grape processing points.

Abstract
With the advent of the industrial revolution, the use of toxic compounds has grown exponentially, leading to a considerable pollution of the environment. Consequently, the development of more environmentally conscious technologies is an urgent need. Industrial biocatalysis appears as one potential solution, where a higher demand for more robust enzymes aims to replace toxic chemical catalysts. To date, most of the commercially available enzymes are of mesophilic origin, displaying optimal activity in narrow ranges of temperature and pH (i.e., between 20°C and 45°C, neutral pH), limiting their actual application under industrial reaction settings, where they usually underperform, requiring larger quantities to compensate loss of activity. In order to obtain novel biocatalysts better suited for industrial conditions, an efficient solution is to take advantage of nature by searching and discovering enzymes from extremophiles. These microorganisms and their macromolecules have already adapted to thrive in environments that present extreme physicochemical conditions. Hence, extremophilic enzymes stand out for showing higher activity, stability, and robustness than their mesophilic counterparts, being able to carry out reactions at nonstandard conditions. In this brief research report we describe three examples to illustrate a stepwise strategy for the development and production of commercial extremozymes, including a catalase from an Antarctic psychrotolerant microorganism, a laccase from a thermoalkaliphilic bacterium isolated from a hot spring and an amine-transaminase from a thermophilic bacterium isolated from a geothermal site in Antarctica. We will also explore some of their interesting biotechnological applications and comparisons with commercial enzymes.

[PMID: 34420694 DOI: 10.1016/j.funbio.2021.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the potential functions of Pleurotus florida (an edible mushroom) in the biodegradation of gas oil at concentrations of 0 (control), 2.5, 5, and 10% (V: V) for 30 days. The gas oil increased dry weight and protein concentration in all treatments (by an average of 19.5 and 108%, respectively). Moreover, the pH, surface tension (ST), and interfacial tension (IFT) were reduced by the mushroom supplementation. The lowest surface tension (31.9 mN m-1) and the highest biosurfactant production belonged to the 10% gas oil treatment (0.845 ± 0.03 mg mL-1). The results demonstrated that the adsorption isotherm agreed well with the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity was calculated at 0.743 mg g-1 wet biomass of P. florida. The fungal supplementation efficiently remedied the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) by an average of 55% after 30 days. Gas chromatography (GC) analysis revealed that P. florida effectively detoxified C13-C28 hydrocarbons, Pristane, and Phytane, implying its high mycoremediation function. The toxicity test showed that mycoremediation increased the germination by an average of 35.82% ± 8.89 after 30 days. Laccase activity increased significantly with increasing gas oil concentration in the treatments. The maximum laccase activity was obtained in the 10% gas oil treatment (142.25 ± 0.72 U L-1). The presence of pollutants was also associated with induction in the tyrosinase activity when compared to the control. These results underline the high mycoremediation capacity of P. florida through the involvement of biosurfactants, laccase, and tyrosinase.

Abstract
In this study, hydrolytic and oxidative activities of enzymes isolated from halophilic microbes were characterized and applied for biomass utilization. First, lipase from Micrococcus luteus, and peroxidase and laccase from Pseudoalteromonas phenolica and Pseudoalteromonas peptidolytica were selected and their catalytic activities were determined, respectively. The M. luteus lipase encoding gene was synthesized after codon-optimization and could be successfully expressed in Escherichia coli with the assist of the Tif chaperone protein. The purified enzyme showed 119.13 ± 7.18 and 34.42 ± 5.91 U/mL of lipase and esterase activities, respectively. Moreover, the M. luteus lipase was applied for hydrolysis of the triglycerides mixture, which resulted in 182.9 ± 11.1 mg/L/h of glycerol productivity. Next, peroxidase and laccase activities of P. phenolica and P. peptidolytica were determined, and extracellular enzymes of P. peptidolytica was applied for lignocellulosic biomass degradation, which resulted in 91.9 μg glucose/mg lignocellulose of production yields. Finally, the hydrolytic and oxidative activities of the enzymes from halophilic microbes could be further utilized for biomass treatment and biochemical production.

Abstract
The discharge of textile effluents enriched with reactive azo dyes is of critical importance owing to inability of the dyes to degrade in waste water and their carcinogenic, mutagenic effects to various organisms. This study initiated based on the need to gaze into molecular mechanism of marine bacterial bioremediation process to develop strategies for the decolorization and detoxification of the synthetic azo dyes. The experimental work carried out to explore decolorization and degradation efficacy of laccase derived from marine actinobacteria, Streptomyces sviceus by choosing Congo red-21 as model azo dye. The extracellular production of laccase was confirmed with plate assay in medium supplemented with ABTS as substrate. Laccase was purified to homogeneity from 72hrs culture of Streptomyces sviceus by Fast performance liquid chromatography and the molecular size of laccase was noticed as 60 kDa. The purified laccase was immobilized with an efficiency of 82% by Calcium alginate method. The crude, purified and immobilized forms of the laccase enzyme was used to decolorize the Congo red-21. Crude laccase enzyme showed 69% of decolorization of Congo red-21 after 48h where as purified and immobilized laccase represented 78% and 92% of colour removal after 24 h respectively. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry were used to unravel the molecular mechanism of dye detoxification and also identify nontoxic products released from Congo Red-21 upon administration with immobilized laccase. Based on GC-MS data, it may deduce that immobilized laccase of Streptomyces sviceus cleaves the Congo red-21 dye followed by oxidative cleavage, desulfonation, deamination, demethylation process.

Abstract
In this work, a soluble biopolymer was prepared by conjugating the bovine serum albumin (BSA) with transition metal ion (Cu2+). BSA-Cu complex was synthesized and characterized using UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies. A colorimetric guaiacol oxidation based method, was used to study the catalytic activity of complex and the results indicated its laccase-like activity. Compared with laccase, BSA-Cu complex showed a higher Km value and a similar Vmax value at the same mass concentration. Also, the ability of the BSA-Cu complex to decolorize malachite green (MG) was tested and the results showed that the complex was able to complete the decolorization process of MG within 30 min. Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) the resultant metabolites of MG degradation were analyzed and the toxicity of degradation products was assessed against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The results confirmed the formation of less toxic products after degradation of MG by BSA-Cu complex. To predict the decolorization efficiency (DE%) of MG, an artificial neural network (ANN) was designed with five, five and one neurons in the input, hidden and output layers, respectively. The obtained results showed the ability of the designed ANN to predict MG removal successfully.

Abstract
Laccases are a group of oxidases that catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of electron rich substrates like phenolic compounds, lignin and aromatic amines. They are of interest because of their potential to be used in environmental and industrial applications. In this research, potent laccase producer fungi were screened and isolated from olive mill wastewater (OMW). One of the 23 isolated fungi was identified as Galactomyces geotrichum based on 18S rDNA sequence analysis that detected good laccase activity. Produced laccase had a molecular weight of 55 kDa that was confirmed by zymogram analysis. This is the first report about the optimization of laccase Production by G. geotrichum under solid-state fermentation. The optimization was made by the Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) methodology. An orthogonal array (L25) was designed using Minitab 19 software to study four effective process factors in five levels for laccase production. The optimum condition derived was; moisture content (80%), fermentation time (14 day), CuSO4⋅5H2O as the inducer (300 μM), glucose as a co-substrate (5 g/L). Maximum laccase activity of 52.86 (U/g of dry substrate) was obtained using optimum fermentation condition. This study aimed to better understand the laccase producing microorganisms in OMW and take them to OMW treatment that is rich in phenolic compounds.

Abstract
Background Due to the multitude industrial applications of ligninolytic enzymes, their demands are increasing. Partial purification and intensive characterization of contemporary highly acidic laccase enzyme produced by an Egyptian local isolate designated Alcaligenes faecalis NYSO were studied in the present investigation. Results Alcaligenes faecalis NYSO laccase has been partially purified and intensively biochemically characterized. It was noticed that 40–60% ammonium sulfate saturation showed maximum activity. A protein band with an apparent molecular mass of ~ 50 kDa related to NYSO laccase was identified through SDS-PAGE and zymography. The partially purified enzyme exhibited maximum activity at 55 °C and pH suboptimal (2.5–5.0). Remarkable activation for enzyme activity was recognized after 10-min exposure to temperatures (T) 50, 60, and 70 °C; time elongation caused inactivation, where ~ 50% of activity was lost after a 7-h exposure to 60 °C. Some metal ions Cu2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, Cr2+, and Mg2+ caused strong stimulation for enzyme activity, but Fe2+ and Hg2+ reduced the activity. One millimolar of chelating agents [ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), sodium citrate, and sodium oxalate] caused strong activation for enzyme activity. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cysteine-HCl, dithiothreitol (DTT), β-mercaptoethanol, thioglycolic acid, and sodium azide caused strong inhibition for NYSO laccase activity even at low concentration. One millimolar of urea, imidazole, kojic acid, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), H2O2, and Triton X-100 caused activation. The partially purified NYSO laccase had decolorization activity towards different dyes such as congo red, crystal violet, methylene blue, fast green, basic fuchsin, bromophenol blue, malachite green, bromocresol purple eriochrome black T, and Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 with various degree of degradation. Also, it had a vast range of substrate specificity including lignin, but with high affinity towards p-anisidine. Conclusion The promising properties of the newly studied laccase enzyme from Alcaligenes faecalis NYSO strain would support several industries such as textile, food, and paper and open the possibility for commercial use in water treatment. It will also open the door to new applications due to its ligninolytic properties in the near future.

Abstract
Triphysaria is a facultative parasitic plant in the Orobanchaceae that parasitizes the roots of a wide range of host plants including Arabidopsis, Medicago, rice and maize. The important exception to this broad host range is that Triphysaria rarely parasitize other Triphysaria. We explored self and kin recognition in Triphysaria versicolor and showed that exudates collected from roots of host species, Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula, induced haustorium development when applied to the roots of Triphysaria seedlings in vitro while those collected from Triphysaria did not. In mixed exudate experiments, Triphysaria exudates did not inhibit the haustorium-inducing activity of those from host roots. Interestingly, when roots of Triphysaria seedlings were treated with either horseradish peroxidase or fungal laccase, the extracts showed haustorium-inducing factor (HIF) activity, suggesting that Triphysaria roots contain the proper substrates for producing HIFs. Transgenic Triphysaria roots overexpressing a fungal laccase gene TvLCC1 showed an increased responsiveness to a known HIF, 2,6-dimethoxy benzoquinone (DMBQ), in developing haustoria. Our results indicate kin recognition in Triphysaria is associated with the lack of active HIFs in root exudates. Treatment of Triphysaria roots with enzymatic oxidases activates or releases molecules that are HIFs. This study shows that exogenously applied oxidases can activate HIFs in Triphysaria roots that had no previous HIF activity. Further studies are necessary to determine if differential oxidase activities in host and parasite roots account for the kin recognition in haustorium development.

Abstract
In this research, it has been demonstrated that amino-modified microspheres (A-LMS) based on bio-waste derived material, such as kraft lignin, have good prospects in usage as a support for enzyme immobilization, since active biocatalyst systems were prepared by immobilizing β-galactosidase from A. oryzae and laccase from M. thermophila expressed in A. oryzae (Novozym® 51003) onto A-LMS. Two types of A-LMS were investigated, with different emulsifier concentrations (5 wt% and 10 wt%), and microspheres produced using 5 wt% of emulsifier (A-LMS_5) showed adequate pore shape, size and distribution for enzyme attachment. The type of interactions formed between enzymes (β-galactosidase and laccase) and A-LMS_5 microspheres demonstrated that β-galactosidase is predominantly attached via electrostatic interactions while attachment of laccase is equally governed by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Furthermore, the A-LMS_5-β-galactosidase exhibited specificity towards recognized prebiotics (galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)) synthesis with 1.5-times higher GOS production than glucose production, while for environmental pollutant lindane degradation, the immobilized laccase preparation exhibited high activity with a minimum remaining lindane concentration of 22.4% after 6 days. Thus, this novel enzyme immobilization support A-LMS_5 has potential for use in green biotechnologies.

Abstract
We isolated three laccase-producing fungus strains from Taxus rhizosphere. Myrotheium verrucaria strain DJTU-sh7 had the highest laccase activity of 216.2 U/ml, which was increased to above 300 U/ml after optimization. DJTU-sh7 had the best decolorizing effect for three classes of reactive dyes. The DJTU-sh7-containing fungal consortium displayed the robust decolorizing ability. Both color removal efficiency and chemical oxygen demand were increased in the consortium mediated biotransformation. Transcriptome changes of M. verrucaria elicited by azo dye and phenolic were quantified by the high throughput transcriptome sequencing, and the activities of the selected oxidases and reductases were determined. The possible involvement of oxidases and reductases, especially laccase, aryl alcohol oxidase, and ferric reductase in the biotransformation of dye and phenolic compounds was revealed at both transcriptomic and phenotypic levels. Revealing the transcriptomic mechanisms of fungi in dealing with organic pollutants facilitates the fine-tuned manipulation of strains in developing novel bioremediation and biodegradation strategies.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper oxidases containing four copper atoms per monomer distributed in three redox sites. Because of its tremendous applications in different areas, isolation of new laccases with wide range of industrial implementation. The present study focuses on the optimization of laccase production from Bacillus sp. MSK-01 under solid state fermentation conditions using fruit juice waste as the substrate. MSKLAC was produced extracellularly by the bacteria. This laccase was able to oxidize ABTS and syringaldazine. Various nutritional and environmental factors were utilized for increasing the enzyme yield. Plackett Burman was used to study the influence of input parameters on laccase yield. Tween-80, initial moisture ratio and magnesium sulphate were the major influencing factor affecting laccase yield. Central composite design of RSM was used for the modelling of experiment. Desirability approach was used to optimize laccase yield. Maximum laccase yield of 1645 IUg−1 was obtained when 0.55% of tween -80, 1:2.34 initial moisture ratio and 300μM magnesium sulphate was used. A 470 fold increase in the yield of laccase from unoptimized condition was obtained.

Abstract
Emerging water pollutants such as pharmaceutical contaminants are suspected to induce adverse effects to human health. These molecules became worrisome due to their increasingly high concentrations in surface waters. Despite this alarming situation, available data about actual concentrations in the environment is rather scarce, as it is not commonly monitored or regulated. This is aggravated even further by the absence of portable and reliable methods for their determination in the field. A promising way to tackle these issues is the use of enzyme-based and miniaturized biosensors for their electrochemical detection. Here, we present an overview of the latest developments in amperometric microfluidic biosensors that include, modeling and multiphysics simulation, design, manufacture, testing, and operation methods. Different types of biosensors are described, highlighting those based on oxidases/peroxidases and the integration with microfluidic platforms. Finally, issues regarding the stability of the biosensors and the enzyme molecules are discussed, as well as the most relevant approaches to address these obstacles.

A novel approach to produce glucose from the supernatant obtained upon the dilute acid pre-treatment of rice straw and synergistic action of hydrolytic enzymes producing microbes. Braz J Microbiol 2019; 50:395-404.

Abstract
The present work refers to a process involving the use of dilute nitric acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis for the transformation of rice straw into simple sugars. Acid pre-treated rice straw was separated into the pulp and supernatant through centrifugation and filtration. The two fractions are then converted into simple sugars by combined action of microbes producing cellulase and laccase enzymes. These microbes were isolated from soil samples which were collected from different locations with varying altitudes, expected to harbour microbes with high-hydrolysing activity. The nitric acid pretreatment was carried out at 30 °C, 200 rpm for 72 h. After 72 h, the culture supernatants were analysed for the presence of glucose with the help of HPLC. The supernatant fraction separated after the acid pre-treated rice straw produced highest amount of glucose (205 mg/g of rice straw) upon subsequent hydrolysis with synergistic action of cellulase and laccase-producing microbes.

Application of quadratic regression orthogonal design to develop a composite inoculum for promoting lignocellulose degradation during green waste composting. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2018; 79:443-453.

Abstract
The aims of this study are to determine the feasibility of applying QROD (quadratic regression orthogonal design) to optimize a combination of microorganisms and to develop a composite inoculum for promoting lignocellulose degradation during GWC (green waste composting). This feasibility was studied in a laboratory scale experiment, using three lignocellulolytic microorganisms, isolated from the mature phase of GWC by the dilution plating method. After the feasibility was confirmed, a composite inoculum was developed through the results of the optimization, whose effect was evaluated by comparing it with Phanerochaete chrysosporium and EM (Effective Microorganisms) in a pilot scale experiment of GWC. The use of QROD to finish this optimization was proven feasible, because the p value of the regression equation was less than 0.05 (0.0108), meaning that the quadratic regression model is suitable for describing the relationship between the combination of the three microorganisms and their ability to degrade lignocellulose. Additional proof of this feasibility is that the composite inoculum in the quadratic regression orthogonal experiment demonstrated lignocellulose degradation ability similar to the GWC experiment. Although the lignin degradation ability of the composite inoculum did not surpass Phanerochaete chrysosporium, it was stronger than EM. Meanwhile, cellulose degradation ability and humus synthesis ability of the composite inoculum were stronger than for Phanerochaete chrysosporium and were close to EM. It is hard to tell which inoculum is the best since each inoculum had advantages in different aspects, while the composite inoculum still showed a considerable effect of lignocellulose degradation during GWC.

Abstract
Silymarin is a collection of compounds extracted from the medicinal herb milk thistle, among which silybin is the major flavonolignan. However, the biosynthesis pathway of silybin remains unclear. In this study, biomimetic reactions demonstrated that silybin can be synthesized from coniferyl alcohol and taxifolin by the action of peroxidase. The concentration profiles of silybin and its precursors and RNA-Seq analysis of gene expression revealed that the amount of taxifolin and the activity of peroxidase serve as the limiting factors in silybin biosynthesis. Hierarchical clustering of the expression profile of genes of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway distinguished flowers from other organs. RNA-Seq revealed five candidates for the peroxidase involved in silybin production, among which APX1 (ascorbate peroxidase 1) showed a distinct peroxidase activity and the capacity to synthesize silybin. The spatial organization of silybin biosynthesis in milk thistle was elucidated, which could help our understanding of the biosynthesis of silybin and other flavonolignans.

Abstract
Laccases (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2) are multi-copper enzymes which catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of phenolic and non-phenolic aromatic compounds in the presence or absence of a mediator. Till date, laccases have mostly been isolated from fungi and plants, whereas laccase from bacteria has not been well studied. Bacterial laccases have several unique properties that are not characteristics of fungal laccases such as stability at high temperature and high pH. Bacteria produce these enzymes either extracellularly or intracellularly and their activity is in a wide range of temperature and pH. It has application in pulp biobleaching, bioremediation, textile dye decolorization, pollutant degradation, biosensors, etc. Hence, comprehensive information including sources, production conditions, characterization, cloning and biotechnological applications is needed for the effective understanding and application of these enzymes at the industrial level. The present review provides exhaustive information of bacterial laccases reported till date.

Abstract
In this work, a novel bacterial strain exhibiting laccase activity was isolated from black liquor and identified as Bacillus subtilis cjp3. The CotA-laccase gene was cloned from strain cjp3 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant laccase has a maximum activity of 7320 U/L, maintaining high stabilities under a wide pH range and high temperature conditions. Nearly no loss of laccase activity was observed even at pH 9.0 after 10 h of incubation. Reactive blue 19, reactive black 5 and indigo carmine could be efficiently decolorized by the purified laccase in the presence of a mediator ABTS. More than 86% of tested dyes were removed in 4 h at pH = 9.0. The recombinant laccase can work well in a broad range of temperatures of 20-80°C(>80% relative activity). These special properties indicated the potential use of the CotA-laccase in treating wastewater containing synthetic dyes.

Abstract
A novel extracellular laccase enzyme produced from Spirulina platensis CFTRI was purified by ultrafiltration, cold acetone precipitation, anion exchange and size exclusion chromatography with 51.5% recovery and 5.8 purification fold. The purified laccase was a monomeric protein with molecular mass of ~66 kDa that was confirmed by zymogram analysis and peptide mass fingerprinting. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity was found at 3.0 and 30°C using ABTS as substrate but the enzyme was quite stable at high temperature and alkaline pH. The laccase activity was enhanced by Cu+2, Zn+2 and Mn+2. In addition, the dye decolorization potential of purified laccase was much higher in terms of extent as well as time. The purified laccase decolorized (96%) of anthraquinonic dye Reactive blue- 4 within 4 h and its biodegradation studies was monitored by UV visible spectra, FTIR and HPLC which concluded that cyanobacterial laccase can be efficiently used to decolorize synthetic dye and help in waste water treatment.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper oxidases known to catalyze the transformation of a wide range of phenolic and non-phenolic substrates using oxygen as electron acceptor and forming water as the only by product. Their potential relevance in several industries requires the constant search for novel laccases. Positive outcome of the isolation of laccase producing bacteria depends on the nature and concentration of media constituents. Several attempts to isolate laccase producing bacteria failed when the phosphate-containing M9 minimal medium was used. Shift to phosphate-less M162 medium led to successful isolations. Seven bacterial isolates belonging to genera Bacillus, Lysinibacillus, Bhargavaea and Rheinheimera were used to study the effect of medium constituents on laccase production. Inorganic phosphate (≥50 mM) was found to regulate laccase synthesis negatively though no inhibitory effect of phosphate (10-500 mM) was seen on laccase activity. All isolates ceased laccase synthesis when grown in the presence of tryptone (0.2-1%), with R. tangshanensis as an exception, or yeast extract (1.5-2%) as the only C/N source in M162 medium. Supplementation upto 0.1% of glucose in basal M162 medium increased laccase production in five isolates but decreased at higher concentrations. The influence of medium components on laccase synthesis was further affirmed by zymographic studies. These observations offer possibilities of isolating promising laccase producers from diverse environmental sources. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to demonstrate the effectiveness of hydrolysis pretreatment of olive mill (OMW) waste before use as a carbon source in biosurfactant production by fermentation. Three hydrolysis methods were assessed: enzymatic hydrolysis, acid pretreatment plus enzymatic hydrolysis, and acid hydrolysis. Fermentation was carried out using two bacterial species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. Our results showed that the enzymatic hydrolysis was the best pretreatment, yielding up to 29.5 and 13.7mg/L of rhamnolipids and surfactins respectively. Glucose did not show significant differences in comparison to enzymatically hydrolysed OMW. At the best conditions found rhamnolipids and surfactins reached concentrations of 299 and 26.5mg/L; values considerably higher than those obtained with non-hydrolysed OMW. In addition, enzymatic pretreatment seemed to partially reduce the inhibitory effects of OMW on surfactin production. Therefore, enzymatic hydrolysis proved to effectively increase the productivity of these biosurfactants using OMW as the sole carbon source.

Abstract
This work investigates the effect of direct-current electric field on the extracellular enzymatic activity, concentration and other experimental parameters of laccase from Trametes versicolor. The results showed that laccase could significantly contribute to the change of pH at the end of graphite electrode. In addition, it increased the electrical conductivity of the water. In the experiment, the optimum pH and catalytic pH range for laccase activity were 3.0 and pH 2.5-4.0. The application of 6 V direct current showed significant effects on the laccase enzyme activity. The activity of laccase was enhanced in the anodic region, but at the same time was strongly inhibited at the cathode. The electric charge characteristics of laccase were changed when exposed to electric field, and some laccases molecules moved to the anode, which produced a slight migration phenomenon. This study is the basis of combination of laccase and electrical technology, at the same time, providing a new direction of enhancing laccase activity. Compared to immobilization, using electric field is simple, no chemical additives, and great potential.

Abstract
Effective biological pretreatment method for enhancing cellulase performance was investigated. Two alkali lignin-degrading bacteria were isolated from forest soils in Japan and named CS-1 and CS-2. 16S rDNA sequence analysis indicated that CS-1 and CS-2 were Bacillus sp. Strains CS-1 and CS-2 displayed alkali lignin degradation capability. With initial concentrations of 0.05-2.0 g L(-1), at least 61% alkali lignin could be degraded within 48 h. High laccase activities were observed in crude enzyme extracts from the isolated strains. This result indicated that alkali lignin degradation was correlated with laccase activities. Judging from the net yields of sugars after enzymatic hydrolysis, the most effective pretreatment method for enhancing cellulase performance was a two-step processing procedure (pretreatment using Bacillus sp. CS-1 followed by lactic acid bacteria) at 68.6%. These results suggest that the two-step pretreatment procedure is effective at accelerating cellulase performance.
