Positive role of non-catalytic proteins on mitigating inhibitory effects of lignin and enhancing cellulase activity in enzymatic hydrolysis: Application, mechanism, and prospective. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 215:114291. [PMID: 36103929 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Fermentable sugar production from lignocellulosic biomass has received considerable attention and has been dramatic progress recently. However, due to low enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) yields and rates, a high dosage of the costly enzyme is required, which is a bottleneck for commercial applications. Over the last decades, various strategies have been developed to reduce cellulase enzyme costs. The progress of the non-catalytic additive proteins in mitigating inhibition in EH is discussed in detail in this review. The low efficiency of EH is mostly due to soluble lignin compounds, insoluble lignin, and harsh thermal and mechanical conditions of the EH process. Adding non-catalytic proteins into the EH is considered a simple and efficient approach to boost hydrolysis yield. This review discussed the multiple mechanical steps involved in the EH process. The effect of physicochemical properties of modified lignin on EH and its interaction with cellulase and cellulose are identified and discussed, which include hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, electrostatic, and cation-π interactions, as well as physical barriers. Moreover, the effects of different conditions of EH that lead to cellulase deactivation by thermal and mechanical mechanisms are also explained. Finally, recent advances in the development, potential mechanisms, and economic feasibility of non-catalytic proteins on EH are evaluated and perspectives are presented.

[PMID: 34710591 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.126200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Biomass represents an abundant and inexpensive source of sugars and aromatic compounds that can be used as raw materials for conversion into value-added bioproducts. Filamentous fungi are sources of plant cell wall degrading enzymes in nature. Understanding the interactions between enzymes is crucial for optimizing biomass degradation processes. Herein, the concept of the interactome is presented as a holistic approach that depicts the interactions among enzymes, substrates, metabolites, and inhibitors. The interactome encompasses several stages of biomass degradation, starting with the sensing of the substrate and the subsequent synthesis of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes (fungus-substrate interaction). Enzyme-enzyme interactions are exemplified in the complex processes of lignocellulosic biomass degradation. The enzyme-substrate-metabolite-inhibitor interaction also provides a better understanding of biomass conversion, allowing bioproduct production from recalcitrant agro-industrial residues, thus bringing greater value to residual biomass. Finally, technological applications are presented for optimizing the interactome at various levels.

Abstract
The objective of this study was aiming at developing an efficient strategy to promote enzymatic hydrolysis of naked oat straw and deciphering the potential mechanism. Irpex lacteus and Phlebia acerina were employed to inoculated on the naked oat straw for 4 weeks which the changes of fiber components, fermentation losses, lignin-degrading enzymes production pattern were determined weekly. Furthermore, the 72 h enzymatic hydrolysis of ultimately fermented naked oat straw were also evaluated. The acid detergent lignin was degraded at about 25% along with the moderate dry matter and cellulose loss which both showed selective degradation. The lignin-degrading enzymes production patterns of the two fungi were different which lignin peroxidase was not detected in Irpex lacteus treatment. In addition, the activities of cellulolytic enzymes were higher in Phlebia acerina treatment. After 72 h enzymatic hydrolysis, the reducing sugar content and hydrolysis yield pretreated by Irpex lacteus was 12.92 g/L and 69.49%, respectively. It was much higher than that in sterilized substrate and Phlebia acerina treatment. Meanwhile, the hydrolysis yields of glucose, sum of xylose and arabinose were all improved by Irpex lacteus which were 30.96% and 25.62%, respectively, and showed significant enhancements compared to control and Phlebia acerina treatment. Irpex lacteus is one of effective white rot fungi which could promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of naked oat straw obviously.

Abstract
Understanding the adsorption behavior and the interaction between substrates and enzymes are critical to improving enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and reducing bioconversion cost. Herein, the adsorption of cellulase on wet ground corncob residues was studied, and the effects of main characteristics of wet ground corncob residues on adsorption capacity were quantitatively analyzed with the combination of principal component analysis and multiple linear regression models. The results showed that the adsorption of cellulase on wet ground corncob residues was fitted well with Langmuir isotherm adsorption and pseudo second-order kinetics model, the adsorption rate and adsorption capacity were greatly enhanced with increasing grinding time; the multiple linear regression models describing the relationship between main characteristics of corncob residues and adsorption capacity to cellulase were established; the significance of these characteristics were in the following order: average particle size, crystallinity index, specific surface area, surface lignin concentration, water retention value, and surface charge density.

Abstract
Rapid, periodic monitoring and detection of ethanol (EtOH) after consumption via a non-invasive measurement has been an area of increased research in recent years. Current point-of-care or on-site detection strategies rely on single use sensors which are inadequate for monitoring during a longer period. A low cost, portable and novel approach is developed here for real-time monitoring over several days utilising electrochemical techniques. The sensor shows oxidation of the ethanol in phosphate buffer and artificial sweat using the amperometric response from the application of +0.9 V to the polyaniline modified screen printed electrode using 1 mM EtOH as the averaged amount of EtOH eliminated in sweat after the consumption of one alcoholic beverage. Our enzyme based electrochemical sensor exhibits a qualitative assessment of the presence of EtOH in small volumes (≤40 μL) of 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate and subsequently artificial sweat, with 50 measurements taken daily over 11 days. While quantitative information is not obtained, the sensor system exhibits excellent stability after 3 months' dried storage in this complex biological matrix in an oxygen free cabinet. This addresses one of the key challenges for enzyme based electrochemical sensors, namely, the ability for real-time monitoring in complex biological matrices. The qualitative response illustrates the potential for this sensor to be exploited by non-experts which suggests the promise for their wider application in next-generation wearable electronics necessary for alcohol monitoring.

Abstract
The pretreatment effects and synergistic effects of anaerobic co-digestion of pretreated corn stover (CS) with chicken manure (CM) were studied. Results showed that the NaOH-H2O2 pretreatment effect on CS was better than urea pretreatment in terms of anaerobic digestion promotion. The highest cumulative methane yield of 332.7 mL/g VS added was obtained from the CS (NaOH-H2O2 pretreated)/CM ratio of 1:3, and the highest cumulative methane yield of 319.7 mL/g VS added was obtained from the CS (urea pretreated)/CM ratio of 1:2. Synergistic effects were found in CS (NaOH-H2O2 pretreated)/CM ratios of 2:1, 1:2, 1:3 and CS (urea pretreated)/CM ratios of 1:1, 1:2. Synergistic effect was not found at CS (unpretreated)/CM ratios of 1:2 and 1:3. Pretreatment of CS can produce synergistic effect on anaerobic co-digestion and increase cumulative methane yield by 6.54-24.65%. Among the four kinetic models, modified Gompertz model was best fitted in describing the methane production during anaerobic co-digestion (R2 = 0.9845-0.9988).
