Abstract
Biodegradable flocculants are rarely used in waste activated sludge (WAS) fermentation. This study introduces an alginate-based biodegradable flocculant (ABF) to enhance both the dewatering and degradation of WAS during its fermentation. Alginate was identified in structural extracellular polymeric substances (St-EPS) of WAS, with alginate-producing bacteria comprising ∼4.2% of the total bacterial population in WAS. Owing to its larger floc size, higher contact angle, and lower free energy resulting from the Lewis acid-base interaction, the addition of the prepared ABF with a network structure significantly improved the dewaterability of WAS and reduced capillary suction time (CST) by 72%. The utilization of ABF by an enriched alginate-degrading consortium (ADC) resulted in a 35.5% increase in the WAS methane yield owing to its higher hydrolytic activity on both ABF and St-EPS. Additionally, after a 30 day fermentation, CST decreased by 62% owing to the enhanced degradation of St-EPS (74.4%) and lower viscosity in the WAS + ABF + ADC group. The genus Bacteroides, comprising 12% of ADC, used alginate lyase (EC 4.2.2.3) and pectate lyase (EC 4.2.2.2 and EC 4.2.2.9) to degrade alginate and polygalacturonate in St-EPS, respectively. Therefore, this study introduces a new flocculant and elucidates its dual roles in enhancing both the dewaterability and degradability of WAS. These advancements improve WAS fermentation, resulting in higher methane production and lower CSTs.

Exploring biosynthesis strategies to boost the yield of exopolysaccharide-protein blend from Bacillus arachidis SY8(T), an isolated native strain, as a potent adsorbent for heavy metals removal. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132634.

Abstract
This investigation centers on the synthesis of a polysaccharide-protein blend produced by an isolated native strain (99.12 % phylogenetic affinity with Bacillus arachidis SY8(T)). The primary objective was to investigate the production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) under diverse stress conditions, encompassing exposure to heavy metal ions, salt, and toxic agents. Additionally, the impact of environmental parameters, namely pH, inoculation percentage, and time, on the production was investigated. Subsequently, the study examined the biosorption potential of the EPS produced for Pb(II), Cu(II), and Mn(II). The EPS obtained was thoroughly characterized via various tests. Rheological evaluations of an EPS solution (2 wt%) confirmed its pseudo-plastic and non-Newtonian fluid properties, while TGA analysis demonstrated its thermal stability up to 600 °C. Additional analyses, including GPC, FTIR, and H-NMR, provide further insights into the produced EPS. The best conditions for EPS production are determined: 5 % NaCl salt, serving as an effective stress inducer, and 37 °C, pH 6, with a 5 % inoculation, over 96 h. EPS demonstrates remarkable removal efficiencies of 99.9, 99.4 and 78.9 % for Pb(II), Cu(II), and Mn(II), respectively. These findings highlight the potential of EPS as an effective agent for removing heavy metal ions.

Abstract
Inhibiting pancreatic α-amylase activity can decrease the release rate of glucose, thereby delaying postprandial blood glucose. This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties and porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA) inhibitory activities of five bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs). We also aimed to analyze the differences of their inhibitory activities, exploring the inhibition mechanism between EPSs and PPA. Five EPSs had a low molecular weight (55-66 kDa), which were mainly composed of mannose and glucose with total content exceeding 86 %. The IC50 values of five EPSs (0.162-0.431 mg/mL) were significantly lower than that of acarbose (0.763 mg/mL), indicating that the inhibitory effects of five EPSs on PPA were stronger than acarbose, especially the EPS from Bacillus subtilis STB22 (BS-EPS). Moreover, BS-EPS was a mixed-type inhibitor, whereas other EPSs were noncompetitive inhibitors of PPA. Five EPSs quenched the fluorophore of PPA by the mixed quenching or apparent static quenching. Interestingly, BS-EPS showed stronger binding affinity to PPA than other EPSs. It can be speculated that EPSs with low molecular weight, high carboxylic acid content, and α-glycosidic bond exhibited high PPA inhibitory activity. These results suggest that BS-EPS can effectively inhibit PPA activity and has potential applications in reducing postprandial hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Livestock and poultry wastewater poses a potent risk factor for environmental pollution accelerating disease load and premature deaths. It is characterized by high chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, suspended solids, heavy metals, pathogens, and antibiotics, among other contaminants. These contaminants have a negative impact on the quality of soil, groundwater, and air, and is a potential hazard to human health. Depending on the specific characteristics of wastewater, such as the type and concentration of pollutants present; several physical, chemical and biological strategies have been developed for wastewater treatment. This review aims at providing comprehensive overview of the profiling of livestock wastewater from the dairy, swine and poultry sub-sectors along with the biological (annamox and genetically modified bacteria) and physico-chemical treatment methodologies, and valorisation for the generation of value-added products such as bioplastics, biofertilizers, biohydrogen and microalgal-microbial fuel cells. Additionally, future perspectives for efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment are contemplated.

Abstract
Three novel types of exopolysaccharides (EPS) EPS-S8, EPS-S5, and EPS-F10 were extracted and purified from bacterial isolates Bacillus sp. GHS8, Pseudoalteromonas sp. GHS5 and Psychrobacter sp. GHF10, which were originated from natural bioflocculant of Ruditapes philippinarum conglutination mud (RPM), respectively. The EPS had similar function groups C-H, N-H, C-O, and C = O. The EPS were composed of different monosaccharides (EPS-F10, Man: GlcN: GlcUA: GalUA = 1:0.66:5.75:0.51; EPS-S5, Man: Gal: GlcN: Rib = 1: 0.50: 2.94: 0.26; EPS-S8, Man: Gal: GlcN = 1:1.54:7.69). The molecular weights (Mw) of EPS were ordered as 51.4 kDa (EPS-S5) > 9.15 kDa (EPS-S8) > 4.41 kDa (EPS-F10). Three types of EPS all showed higher peak flocculation activities than the reported crude EPS from the RPM. Besides, the EPS also exhibited efficient decoloration and antioxidation activities, especially for EPS-S8, which might be due to the low Mw and specific monosaccharide composition.

Potential Applications of an Exopolysaccharide Produced by Bacillus xiamenensis RT6 Isolated from an Acidic Environment. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14183918.

Abstract
The Bacillus xiamenensis RT6 strain was isolated and identified by morphological, biochemical and molecular tests from an extreme acidic environment, Rio Tinto (Huelva). Optimisation tests for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in different culture media determined that the best medium was a minimal medium with glucose as the only carbon source. The exopolymer (EPSt) produced by the strain was isolated and characterised using different techniques (GC-MS, HPLC/MSMS, ATR-FTIR, TGA, DSC). The molecular weight of EPSt was estimated. The results showed that the average molecular weight of EPSt was approximately 2.71 × 104 Da and was made up of a heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose (60%), mannose (20%) and galactose (20%). The EPSt showed antioxidant capabilities that significantly improved cell viability. Metal chelation determined that EPSt could reduce the concentration of transition metals such as iron at the highest concentrations tested. Finally, the emulsification study showed that EPSt was able to emulsify different natural polysaccharide oils, reaching up to an 80% efficiency (olive and sesame oil), and was a good candidate for the substitution of the most polluting emulsifiers. The EPSt was found to be suitable for pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

Abstract
The present study deals with the utilization of lignocellulosic hydrolysate-based carbon source for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production using newly reported marine Echinicola sediminis BBL-M-12. This bacterium produced 7.56 g L-1 and 5.32 g L-1 of EPS on supplementing 30 g L-1 glucose and 10 g L-1 xylose as the sole carbon source, respectively. Whereas on feeding Miscanthus hydrolysate (MCH) with glucose content adjusting to 20 g L-1, E. sediminis BBL-M-12 produced 6.18 g L-1 of EPS. The inhibitors study showed bacterium could tolerate higher concentrations of fermentation inhibitors include furfural (0.05%), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (0.1%), vanillin (0.1%) and acetate (0.5%). Moreover, the EPS composition was greatly altered with the type and concentration of carbon source supplied, although β-D-Glucopyranose, β-D-Galactopyranose, and β-D-Xylopyranose were the dominant monomers detected. Interestingly, E. sediminis BBL-M-12 EPS revealed excellent environmental applications like clay flocculation, oil emulsification, and removal of humic acid, textile dye, and heavy metal from the aqueous phase.

Abstract
Despite extensive studies, a comprehensive solution for sludge bulking has not yet been found. This study improves the sludge settling performance via quorum sensing (QS) by adding exogenous acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). First, a novel approach based on ultrasonic time-domain reflectometry, which can automatically and in-situ assess a sludge volume index (SVI), was developed using the displacement in the ultrasonic spectra as a feasible indicator (R2 = 0.98, p < 0.01). Next, the effects of typical AHLs, i.e., 3OC6-HSL, C12-HSL, and 3OC14-HSL, on sludge settling properties were investigated. Results indicated that the three AHLs significantly promoted the sludge settleability by 1.90, 2.03, and 1.62 times, respectively. The regulation mechanisms were investigated from the perspective of sludge physicochemical properties and biological community interactions. The draining degree of water to extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) significantly increased (p < 0.05) with all three AHLs. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic tryptophan content increased with the addition of 3OC6-HSL and C12-HSL. Hence, EPS hydrophobicity was promoted, which is conducive to microbial aggregation. In addition, molecular ecological networks of activated sludge (AS) indicated that bacterial community structures were more complex and species interactions were more intense when adding 3OC6-HSL and C12-HSL. Meanwhile, additional keystones were identified, with the proportion of QS species increasing by 63.6% and 22.2%, respectively. Exogenous 3OC6-HSL eventually decreased the gross relative abundance of filamentous bacteria by 2.37%. Overall, appropriate AHLs could enhance community stability and microbial cooperation by strengthening the communication hub role of QS species, thereby suppressing the overgrowth of filamentous bacteria and improving the sludge settleability. This study provides an effective strategy to determine the appropriate AHL to rapidly eliminate filamentous bulking problems.

Abstract
Produced water (PW) and crude glycerin (CG) are compounds overproduced by the oil and biodiesel industry and significant scientific efforts are being applied for properly recycling them. The aim of this research is to combine such industrial byproducts for sustaining the production of xanthan by Xanthomonas campestris. Xanthan yields and viscosity on distinct PW ratios (0, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100) and on 100% dialyzed PW (DPW) in shaker batch testing identified DPW treatment as the best approach for further bioreactor experiments. Such experiments showed a xanthan yield of 17.3 g/L within 54 h and a viscosity of 512 mPa s. Physical-chemical characterization (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy) showed similarities between the produced gum and the experimental control. This research shows a clear alternative for upcycling high salinity PW and CG for the generation of a valued bioproduct for the oil industry.

Abstract
Various homopolysaccharides (HoPSs) can be produced by bacteria: α- and β-glucans, β-fructans and α-galactans, which are polymers of glucose, fructose and galactose, respectively. The synthesis of these compounds is catalyzed by glycosyltransferases (glycansucrases), which are able to transfer the monosaccharides in a specific substrate to the medium, which results in the growth of polysaccharide chains. The range of HoPS sizes is very large, from 104 to 109 Da, and mostly depends on the carbon source in the medium and the catalyzing enzyme. However, factors such as nitrogen nutrients, pH, water activity, temperature and duration of bacterial culture also impact the size and yield of production. The sequence of the enzyme influences the structure of the HoPS, by modulating the type of linkage between monomers, both for the linear chain and for the ramifications. HoPSs' size and structure have an effect on rheological properties of some foods by their influence on viscosity index. As a consequence, the control of structural and environmental factors opens ways to guide the production of specific HoPS in foods by bacteria, either by in situ or ex situ production, but requires a better knowledge of HoPS production conditions.

Abstract
Wastewater imposes a great threat to any ecosystem across the world, especially the aquatic one because of the different anthropogenic activities of human beings. The present study emphasizes the optimization of ecological parameters [pH, time (h) and temperature (°C)] employing Box-Behnken design (BBD) to achieve better bio-adsorption of a selected heavy metal [lead (Pb II)] from the wastewater through an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) of a benthic fungus, Aspergillus penicillioides (F12) (MN210327). The relevant statistical analysis (ANOVA) has enabled to record of the optimized bio-adsorption (73.14 %) of lead (Pb II) by fungal EPS at pH (8.85) and temperature (32 °C) for a duration of 5.74 h. Besides that, at the concentration of 0.5 mg/L of EPS, the flocculating rate was noted to be highest (88.4 %) in kaolin clay and the 50 % emulsifying activity. This investigation has also opened up new vistas on the possibility of the development of an alternative method of eco-sustainable bioremediation of heavy metals by fungal EPS on an industrial scale.

Modification of Xanthan Gum for a High-Temperature and High-Salinity Reservoir. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13234212. [PMID: 34883714 PMCID: PMC8659541 DOI: 10.3390/polym13234212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Tertiary oil recovery, commonly known as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), is performed when secondary recovery is no longer economically viable. Polymer flooding is one of the EOR methods that improves the viscosity of injected water and boosts oil recovery. Xanthan gum is a relatively cheap biopolymer and is suitable for oil recovery at limited temperatures and salinities. This work aims to modify xanthan gum to improve its viscosity for high-temperature and high-salinity reservoirs. The xanthan gum was reacted with acrylic acid in the presence of a catalyst in order to form xanthan acrylate. The chemical structure of the xanthan acrylate was verified by FT-IR and NMR analysis. The discovery hybrid rheometer (DHR) confirmed that the viscosity of the modified xanthan gum was improved at elevated temperatures, which was reflected in the core flood experiment. Two core flooding experiments were conducted using six-inch sandstone core plugs and Arabian light crude oil. The first formulation—the xanthan gum with 3% NaCl solution—recovered 14% of the residual oil from the core. In contrast, the modified xanthan gum with 3% NaCl solution recovered about 19% of the residual oil, which was 5% higher than the original xanthan gum. The xanthan gum acrylate is therefore more effective at boosting tertiary oil recovery in the sandstone core.

Abstract
Wound dressings have become a crucial treatment for wound healing due to their convenience, low cost, and prolonged wound management. As cutting-edge biomaterials, marine polysaccharides are divided from most marine organisms. It possesses various bioactivities, which allowing them to be processed into various forms of wound dressings. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the application of marine polysaccharides in wound dressings is particularly important for the studies of wound therapy. In this review, we first introduce the wound healing process and describe the characteristics of modern commonly used dressings. Then, the properties of various marine polysaccharides and their application in wound dressing development are outlined. Finally, strategies for developing and enhancing marine polysaccharide wound dressings are described, and an outlook of these dressings is given. The diverse bioactivities of marine polysaccharides including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, haemostatic properties, etc., providing excellent wound management and accelerate wound healing. Meanwhile, these biomaterials have higher biocompatibility and biodegradability compared to synthetic ones. On the other hand, marine polysaccharides can be combined with copolymers and active substances to prepare various forms of dressings. Among them, emerging types of dressings such as nanofibers, smart hydrogels and injectable hydrogels are at the research frontier of their development. Therefore, marine polysaccharides are essential materials in wound dressings fabrication and have a promising future.
