Abstract
Cyanase is a possible solution to reduce the environmental impact of cyanide. However, the enzyme's dependence on HCO3- limits its industrial applications. To overcome this problem, carbonic anhydrase is utilized in this study. Three types of Catcher/Tag systems were introduced into the cyanase (psCYN) from Pseudomonas stutzeri and the carbonic anhydrase (hmCA) from Hydrogenovibrio marinus to construct enzyme complexes via irreversible covalent bonds. Initially, a cyanase complex with the aid of scaffolding proteins was designed. The results of cyanase complexes using scaffolding proteins were similar to or inferior to those of the two free enzymes. To address this, the two enzymes were manipulated to form a direct bioconjugation without the need for scaffolding proteins. The two enzymes forming a direct conjugation showed activity more than 2.5 times higher than that of cyanase alone. In conclusion, this outcome will contribute to solving problems related to residual cyanides in food and the environment.

Abstract
The reaction condition for purifying carbonic anhydrase from Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense (SspCA) by direct heating without prior cell lysis was optimized; heating at 70 °C for 5 min resulted in the highest total activity of 23,460 WAU (Wilbur-Anderson unit) from a 50 mL culture. Heat-purified SspCA was examined for its capability to increase the rate of the mineralization of CO2; compared with an uncatalyzed control, the onset time of CaCO3 formation was shortened by up to 71%. Cyanase can be used to degrade toxic cyanate; however, one of the limitations of this biomimetic process is that the reaction needs HCO3- as a substrate. Heat-purified SspCA was combined with heat-purified cyanase from Thermomyces lanuginosus to alleviate the HCO3- dependence; in industrial wastewater, the HCO3- required was reduced by 50% when 0.75 WAU of SspCA was added. Heat-purified SspCA is stable at 4 °C; 88% of the initial activity was retained for up to five weeks. Partially purified SspCA can be obtained with ease and applied to a variety of applications.

Abstract
Industrialization and other human activity represent significant environmental hazards. Toxic contaminants can harm a comprehensive platform of living organisms in their particular environments. Bioremediation is an effective remediation process in which harmful pollutants are eliminated from the environment using microorganisms or their enzymes. Microorganisms in the environment often create a variety of enzymes that can eliminate hazardous contaminants by using them as a substrate for development and growth. Through their catalytic reaction mechanism, microbial enzymes may degrade and eliminate harmful environmental pollutants and transform them into non-toxic forms. The principal types of microbial enzymes which can degrade most hazardous environmental contaminants include hydrolases, lipases, oxidoreductases, oxygenases, and laccases. Several immobilizations, genetic engineering strategies, and nanotechnology applications have been developed to improve enzyme performance and reduce pollution removal process costs. Until now, the practically applicable microbial enzymes from various microbial sources and their ability to degrade multipollutant effectively or transformation potential and mechanisms are unknown. Hence, more research and further studies are required. Additionally, there is a gap in the suitable approaches considering toxic multipollutants bioremediation using enzymatic applications. This review focused on the enzymatic elimination of harmful contaminants in the environment, such as dyes, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, plastics, heavy metals, and pesticides. Recent trends and future growth for effectively removing harmful contaminants by enzymatic degradation are also thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
As one of the fastest-growing carbon emission sources, the aviation sector is severely restricted by carbon emission reduction targets. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has emerged as the most potential alternative to traditional aviation fuel, but harsh production technologies limit its commercialization. Fatty acids photodecarboxylase from Chlorella variabilis NC64A (CvFAP), the latest discovered photoenzyme, provides promising approaches to produce various carbon-neutral biofuels and fine chemicals. This review highlights the state-of-the-art strategies to enhance the application of CvFAP in carbon-neutral biofuel and fine chemicals production, including supplementing alkane as decoy molecular, screening efficient CvFAP variants with directed evolution, constructing genetic strains, employing biphasic catalytic system, and immobilizing CvFAP in an efficient photobioreactor. Furthermore, future opportunities are suggested to enhance photoenzymatic decarboxylation and explore the catalytic mechanism of CvFAP. This review provides a broad context to improve CvFAP catalysis and advance its potential applications.

Cyanate Degradation in Different Matrices Using Heat-Purified Enzymes. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
A green and low-cost removal method for cyanate, a toxic byproduct from the treatment of cyanide, is still needed. Cyanase converts cyanate to CO2 and NH3, but its industrial practicality is limited because the reaction requires HCO3− as a substrate. In this study, we used carbonic anhydrase from Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense (SazCA) to provide HCO3− for cyanase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TlCyn); both TlCyn and SazCA were purified by one-step heating without prior cell lysis. The heat treatment resulted in higher activities of both enzymes than the conventional two-step process. From a 50 mL-culture, the highest total activity of 147 U and 47,174 WAU was obtained from 5 min of heating at 60 and 80 °C for TlCyn and SazCA, respectively. The coupled enzymatic system was used to degrade cyanate in three different matrices: 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8), industrial wastewater, and artificial wastewater. In the industrial wastewater, with the addition of 0.75 WAU (Wilbur-Anderson unit) of SazCA, cyanate degradation using 0.5 mM NaHCO3 was similar to that using 3 mM NaHCO3, indicating an 83% reduction in NaHCO3. We have demonstrated that the dependence on HCO3− of cyanate degradation can be effectively alleviated by using low-cost heat-purified TlCyn and SazCA; the industrial practicality of the coupled enzymatic system is therefore improved.

Abstract
Sheath blight of rice is a destructive disease that could be calamitous to rice cultivation. The significant objective of this study is to contemplate the proteomic analysis of the high virulent and less virulent isolate of Rhizoctonia solani using a quantitative LC-MS/MS-based proteomic approach to identify the differentially expressed proteins promoting higher virulence. Across several rice-growing regions in Odisha, Eastern India, 58 Rhizoctonia isolates were obtained. All the isolates varied in their pathogenicity. The isolate RS15 was found to be the most virulent and RS22 was identified as the least virulent. The PCR amplification confirmed that the RS15 and RS22 belonged to the Rhizoctonia subgroup of AG1-IA with a specific primer. The proteomic information generated has been deposited in the PRIDE database with PXD023430. The virulent isolate consisted of 48 differentially abundant proteins, out of which 27 proteins had higher abundance, while 21 proteins had lower abundance. The analyzed proteins acquired functionality in fungal development, sporulation, morphology, pathogenicity, detoxification, antifungal activity, essential metabolism and transcriptional activities, protein biosynthesis, glycolysis, phosphorylation and catalytic activities in fungi. A Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate changes in differentially expressed proteins at the mRNA level for selected genes. The abundances of proteins and transcripts were positively correlated. This study provides the role of the proteome in the pathogenicity of R. solani AG1-IA in rice and underpins the mechanism behind the pathogen’s virulence in causing sheath blight disease.

Abstract
Phytases are the most widely used food and feed enzymes, which aid in nutritional improvement by reducing anti-nutritional factor. Despite the benefits, enzymes usage in the industry is restricted by several factors such as their short life-span and poor reusability, which result in high costs for large-scale utilization at commercial scale. Furthermore, under pelleting conditions such as high temperatures, pH, and other factors, the enzyme becomes inactive due to lesser stability. Immobilization of phytases has been suggested as a way to overcome these limitations with improved performance. Matrices used to immobilize phytases include inorganic (Hydroxypatite, zeolite, and silica), organic (Polyacrylamide, epoxy resins, alginate, chitosan, and starch agar), soluble matrix (Polyvinyl alcohol), and nanomaterials including nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanotubes. Several surface analysis methods, including thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and FTIR analysis, have been used to characterize immobilized phytase. Immobilized phytases have been used in a broad range of biotechnological applications such as animal feed, biodegradation of food phytates, preparations of myo-inositol phosphates, and sulfoxidation by vanadate-substituted peroxidase. This article provides information on different matrices used for phytase immobilization from the last two decades, including the process of immobilization and support material, surface analysis techniques, and multifarious biotechnological applications of the immobilized phytases.

Abstract
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) has been emerging as a biomaterial of considerable significance in a number of industrial sectors because of its remarkable physico-chemical and biological characteristics. High capital expenses, manufacturing costs, and a paucity of some well-scalable methods, all of which lead to low BNC output in commercial scale, are major barriers that must be addressed. Advances in production methods, including bioreactor technologies, static intermittent, and semi-continuous fed batch technologies, and innovative outlay substrates, may be able to overcome the challenges to BNC production at the industrial scale. The novelty of this review is that it highlights genetic modification possibilities in BNC production to overcome existing impediments and open up viable routes for large-scale production, suitable for real-world applications. This review focuses on various production routes of BNC, its properties, and applications, especially the major advancement in food, personal care, biomedical and electronic industries.

Abstract
Heavy crude oil (HCO) pollution has gained global attention, but traditional bioremediating practices demonstrate limited effectiveness. This study developed magnetic nanoparticles decorated bacteria (MNPB) using an oil-degrading and biosurfactant-producing Rhodococcus erythropolis species and identified a novel access-dispersion-recovery strategy for enhanced HCO pollution mitigation. The strategy entails (1) magnetic navigation of the MNPB towards HCO layer, (2) enhanced oil dispersion and formation of suspended oil-bacteria aggregates, and (3) magnetic recovery of these aggregates. The UV-spectrophotometer analysis showed that this strategy can enable up to 62% removal of HCO. The GC-MS analysis demonstrated that the MNPB enhanced the degradation of low-molecular-weight aromatics comparing with the pure bacteria, and the recovery process further removed oil-bacteria aggregates and entrained high-molecular-weight aromatics. The feasibility of using MNPB to mitigate HCO pollution could shed light on the emerging bioremediation applications.

Abstract
In this study, we have successfully synthesized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), functionalised them by silanization and used them for the covalent immobilization of a recombinant small laccase (rSLAC) from Streptomyces coelicolor. The immobilized recombinant laccase (MNP-rSLAC) was subsequently used for the treatment of phenol, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and 4-fluorophenol (4-FP). The enzyme completely degraded 80 µg/mL of the selected phenolic compounds within 2 h in the presence of a natural mediator, acetosyringone. The MNP-rSLAC retained > 73% of initial activity (2,6-dimethoxyphenol as substrate) after 10 catalytic cycles and could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by the application of magnetic field. Furthermore, immobilised rSLAC exhibited better storage stability than its free counterpart. The Michaelis constant (Km) value for the immobilised rSLAC was higher than free rSLAC, however the maximum velocity (Vmax) of the immobilised SLAC was similar to that of the free rSLAC. Growth inhibition studies using Escherichia coli showed that rSLAC-mediated treatment of phenolic compounds reduced the toxicity of phenol, 4-CP and 4-FP by 90, 60 and 55%, respectively. Interestingly, the presence of selected metal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Mn2+) greatly enhanced the catalytic activity of rSLAC and MNP-rSLAC. This study indicates that immobilized small laccase (MNP-rSLAC) has potential for treating wastewater contaminated with phenolic compounds.

Abstract
Cyanase catalyzes the bicarbonate-dependent degradation of cyanate to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide, and ammonia is a considerable alternative nitrogen source. Strikingly, the cyanase from the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus (Tl-Cyn) has the highest catalytic efficiency reported among these enzymes. However, its molecular mechanism of action is not clearly understood, because currently there is no structural information available on fungal cyanases. Here we report the crystal structure of Tl-Cyn in complex with inhibitors malonate and formate at 2.2 Å resolution. The structure reveals extensive interactions at the subunit interfaces in a dimer, and a decamer is formed by a pentamer of these dimers. Our biochemical, kinetic and mutagenesis studies confirm the structural observations on the complex and provide further insights into its catalytic mechanism and inhibition. The structure has also aided the creation of a mutant enzyme with enhanced catalytic activity, and such enzymes may have the potential for biotechnological applications, including biotransformation and bioremediation. Moreover, other fungal cyanases with potentially high catalytic activity could also be predicted based on the Tl-Cyn structure, as the active site region among fungal cyanases are highly conserved.

Abstract
Pollutant removal from industrial effluents is a big challenge for industries. These pollutants pose a great risk to the environment. Nanotechnology can reduce the expenditure made by industries to mitigate these pollutants through the production of eco-friendly nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are gaining attention due to their enhanced physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Using microorganisms in the production of nanoparticles provides an even greater boost to green biotechnology as an emerging field of nanotechnology for sustainable production and cost reduction. In this mini review, efforts are made to discuss the various aspects of industrial effluent bioremediation through microbial nanotechnology integration. The use of enzymes with nanotechnology has produced higher activity and reusability of enzymes. This mini review also provides an insight into the advantages of the use of nanotechnology as compared to conventional practices in these areas.

One-step eantioselective bioresolution for (S)-2-chlorophenylglycine methyl ester catalyzed by the immobilized Protease 6SD on multi-walled carbon nanotubes in a triphasic system. J Biotechnol 2020; 325:294-302. [PMID: 33039550 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2020.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 09/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
(S)-2-chlorophenylglycine methyl ester ((S)-1) is a key chiral building block of clopidogrel, which is a widely administered antiaggregatory and antithrombotic drug. Herein, Protease 6SD was covalently immobilized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and the as-prepared immobilizate P-6SD@NH2-MWCNT was applied in the enantioselective resolution of (R,S)-1 to yield (S)-1. In order to overcome the poor solubility of (R,S)-1 in aqueous solution, a novel triphasic reaction system constituting P-6SD@NH2-MWCNT, aqueous phase and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as the organic phase was constructed, which simultaneously improved the substrate solubility and the immobilizate recyclability. Under the optimized reaction conditions, P-6SD@NH2-MWCNT catalyzed 10 mM (R,S)-1 for 2 h, yielding optically pure (S)-1 (>99.0 % ees) with 70.74 % conversion of the (R,S)-1. Moreover, P-6SD@NH2-MWCNT can be reused for 15 batches, displaying an exquisite recycling performance. It is for the first time that enantiomerically pure (S)-1 was successfully synthesized by protease-catalyzed one-step resolution.

Abstract
Theaflavins (TFs) have attracted much attention due to their various bioactivities in black tea. This paper describes the first trial for enzymatic production of TFs by recombinant polyphenol oxidases (PPOs). PPO genes were cloned from nine species and expressed in E. coli. Crude enzyme assays by LC-MS revealed that eight recombinant PPOs were active for TFs production from tea polyphenols as substrates. Much higher activities were observed for crude enzymes of Md2 from Malus domestica (apple), Pp4 from Pyrus pashia (pear), and Ej2 from Eriobotrya japonica (loquat). When immobilized on mesoporous silica, crude Md2 was most active. The purified Md2 was immobilized and showed almost twice activity as high as its free enzyme. While the maximum activity of free enzyme was found at pH 5 and 10-30 °C, the immobilized enzyme had broader range of pH 4-6 and 10-40 °C. The activity of immobilized enzyme was relatively constant during the pH and thermal stability test. When used at 0.2 mg/ml in the beginning, the immobilized enzyme retained approximately 40% of its initial activity after 8 cycles of operation.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 363:73-80.

Abstract
Global environmental problems allied with waste management require novel approaches for the simultaneous removal of heavy metals and other associated compounds including cyanate. In this study, iron-oxide filled multi-walled carbon nanotubes (m-MWCNTs) were successfully synthesized and characterized by field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The m-MWCNTs were amino-functionalized for the covalent immobilization of a recombinant cyanate hydratase (rTl-Cyn), and were characterized by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The immobilized rTl-Cyn on the m-MWCNTs (m-MWCNT-rTl-Cyn) had long term storage stability and showed great potential towards cyanate biodegradability. We found that m-MWCNT-rTl-Cyn retained >94% of the initial activity even after 10 repeated cycles of bio-catalysis. Strikingly, the m-MWCNT-rTl-Cyn simultaneously reduced the concentration of chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) by 39.31, 35.53, 34.48 and 29.63%, respectively as well as the concentration of cyanate by ≥84%, in a synthetic wastewater sample.
