Optimizing Covalent Immobilization of Glucose Oxidase and Laccase on PV15 Fluoropolymer-Based Bioelectrodes. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13040270. [PMID: 36547530 PMCID: PMC9785612 DOI: 10.3390/jfb13040270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBCs) represent a promising technology for biosensors, biodevices, and sustainable green energy applications, thanks to enzymes' high specificity and catalytic efficiency. Nevertheless, drawbacks such as limited output power and short lifetime have to be solved. Nowadays, research is addressed to the use of 3D electrode structures, but the high cost and the industrialization difficulties of such electrodes represent a key issue. The purpose of the paper is thus to describe the use of a low-cost commercial conductive polymer (Sigracell® PV15) as support for the covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase and laccase, for bioanode and biocathode fabrication, respectively. Efficient immobilization protocols were determined for the immobilized enzymes in terms of employed linkers and enzyme concentrations, resulting in significant enzymatic activities for units of area. The analysis focuses specifically on the optimization of the challenging immobilization of laccase and assessing its stability over time. In particular, an optimum activity of 23 mU/cm2 was found by immobilizing 0.18 mg/cm2 of laccase, allowing better performances, as for voltage output and electrochemical stability, and a direct electron transfer mechanism to be revealed for the fabricated biocathode. This study thus poses the basis for the viable development of low-cost functional EBC devices for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bioenzymatic degradation of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly detoxification technology. In this work, AFB1 was successfully degraded by recombinant laccase (fmb-rL103) in the absence of a mediator. The laccase gene was cloned from Bacillus vallismortis fmb-103, and was expressed in heterologous host Escherichia coli after codon optimization. The extracellular production of fmb-rL103 could be induced by adding methanol (6 %, v/v), and the maximum yield was 1545.6 U/L. In the 10 L bioreactor, the extracellular yield increased to 50,950.6 U/L after 20 h of induction, accounting for three quarters of the total yield. The mechanism of methanol-induced extracellular secretion was further studied by measuring acetate content, lac103 gene expression and cell membrane permeability. Furthermore, we explored the biochemical properties of fmb-rL103 and its degradation conditions on AFB1. The degradation efficiency increased constantly with increase in incubation pH and temperature, and exceeded 60 % at pH 7.0 and 37 °C. This work provides new insight into developing the large-scale production of laccase and its application to degrade AFB1.

Abstract
The activity of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) can be modulated to regulate intracellular metabolism under different culture conditions. In Ganoderma lucidum, the role of MPC in regulating carbon sources remains unknown. By knocking down MPC genes (MPC1 and MPC2), this research found that the loss of MPC increased the growth rate of G. lucidum by ~30% in a medium with wood chips as a carbon source. Then cellulase and laccase activities were tested. Endoglucanase and laccase activity increased by ~50% and ~35%, respectively, in MPC knockdown mutants compared with that in the wild type strain. Finally, the expression levels of genes related to glycolysis were assayed, and the transcription levels of these enzymes were found to be increased by ~250% compared with the wild type strain. In conclusion, the regulation of intracellular metabolism by MPC provides a new way to improve the use of nondominant carbon sources such as lignocellulose.

Abstract
This is the first comprehensive overview of laccase-triggered anabolism from fundamental theory to biotechnology applications. Laccase is a typical biological oxidordeuctase that induces the one-electronic transfer of diverse substrates for engendering four phenoxy radicals with concomitant reduction of O2 into 2H2O. In vivo, laccase can participate in anabolic processes to create multifarious functional biopolymers such as fungal pigments, plant lignins, and insect cuticles, using mono/polyphenols and their derivatives as enzymatic substrates, and is thus conducive to biological tissue morphogenesis and global carbon storage. Exhilaratingly, fungal laccase has high redox potential (E° = 500-800 mV) and thermodynamic efficiency, making it a remarkable candidate for utilization as a versatile catalyst in the green and circular economy. This review elaborates the anabolic mechanisms of laccase in initiating the polymerization of natural phenolic compounds and their derivatives in vivo via radical-based self/cross-coupling. Information is also presented on laccase immobilization engineering that expands the practical application ranges of laccase in biotechnology by improving the enzymatic catalytic activity, stability, and reuse rate. Particularly, advances in biotechnology applications in vitro through fungal laccase-triggered macromolecular biosynthesis may provide a key research direction beneficial to the rational design of green chemistry.

Sequential degradation of raw vinasse by a laccase enzyme producing fungus Pleurotus sajor-caju and its ATPS purification. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 25:e00411. [PMID: 32211306 PMCID: PMC7083758 DOI: 10.1016/j.btre.2019.e00411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2019] [Revised: 10/23/2019] [Accepted: 12/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Vinasse degradation and laccase production by Pleurotus sajor-caju were performed; Laccase activity induction by copper sulfate and ethanol in raw vinasse as substrate was confirmed; Fermentation time to maximum laccase activity was reduced to just 3 days when cooper sulfate was used as inducer; The use of laccase inducers does not interfere with decolorization and turbidity removal; Aqueous two-phase systems reached 2.88-fold in laccase purification, with recovery of ∼ 99.9% to upper phase (PEG-rich phase).
This study evaluated simultaneously the raw vinasse degradation, an effluent from the sugar-alcohol industry, the laccase production by Pleurotus sajor-caju and its purification using aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). To improve laccase production, different concentrations of inducers (ethanol and CuSO4) were added. The higher laccase production promoted an increase of 4-fold using 0.4 mM of CuSO4 as inducer, with maximum enzymatic activity of 539.3 U/L on the 3rd day of fermentation. The final treated vinasse had a decolorization of 92% and turbidity removal of 99% using CuSO4. Moreover, the produced laccase was then purified by ATPS in a single purification step, reaching 2.9-fold and recovered ≈ 99,9 %, in the top phase (PEG-rich phase) using 12 wt% of PEG 1500 + 20 wt% of citrate buffer + enzyme broth + water, at 25 °C. Thus, an integrated process of vinasse degradation, laccase production and purification with potential industrial application was proposed.

Enzymatic degradation and detoxification of azo dye Congo red by a new laccase from Oudemansiella canarii. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2019; 289:121655.

Abstract
A single laccase with molecular weight of 41 kDa was produced by the white-rot fungus Oudemansiella canarii cultured on solid state fermentation using a mixture of sugarcane bagasse-wheat bran as substrate. The enzyme (5 U) was able to decolourize 80% of 50 mg/L Congo red within 24 h at 30 °C and pH 5.5. The relationship between the decolorization rate and dye concentration obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with KM and Vmax values of 46.180 ± 6.245 µM and 1.840 ± 0.101 µmol/min, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and mass spectrometry allowed to conclude that the laccase acts not only on the dye chromophore group, but also that it cleaves different covalent bonds, causing an effective fragmentation of the molecule. The action of the laccase caused a significant reduction in toxicity, as indicated by the Microtox test. In conclusion, O. canarii laccase could be useful in future biological strategies aiming at degrading azo dyes.

Abstract
To improve the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of chitosan (CS), CS grafted with gallic acid (GA) using recombinant bacterial laccase from Bacillus vallismortis fmb-103 (fmb-rL103) as a catalyst. The structures of grafted chitosans were identified using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and UV visible spectrum (UV–Vis spectroscopy). After gallic acid grafting, the antibacterial properties of chitosans against Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Brochothrix thermosphacta, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes were significantly improved. Meanwhile, 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging results showed that the antioxidant properties of grafted CS increased as well. The preservative effects of the grafted chitosan on chilled meat were then investigated. For this purpose, the quality indexes of the chilled meat during the storage were monitored, including total bacterial count, total basic volatile nitrogen (TVB-N) content, pH value, color and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and so on. The results showed that coating with the grafted chitosan retarded the growth of spoilage bacteria, and decreased TVB-N and TBARS values of meat. The shelf life of chilled meat coated by CS grafted with GA (GA-g-CS) also extended from 6 days to 18 days at 4°C. These results provided a theoretical basis for the future application of the GA-g-CS in the preservation of chilled meat. Highlights:The temperature and pH-stable bacterial laccase was used to synthesize gallic acid grafted chitosan. Antioxidant and antibacterial properties of chitosan were improved through grafting gallic acid. Storage properties of chilled meat were improved by coating with gallic acid grafted chitosan.
