J Environ Sci (China) 2025; 147:74-82. [PMID: 39003085 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA) adversely affect the environment and human health. Laccases are used for the efficient biodegradation of various persistent organic pollutants in an environmentally safe manner. However, the direct application of free laccases is generally hindered by short enzyme lifetimes, non-reusability, and the high cost of a single use. In this study, laccases were immobilized on a novel magnetic three-dimensional poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)-chitosan (CS) inverse opal hydrogel (LAC@MPEGDA@CS@IOH). The immobilized laccase showed significant improvement in the BPA degradation performance and superior storage stability compared with the free laccase. 91.1% of 100 mg/L BPA was removed by the LAC@MPEGDA@CS@IOH in 3 hr, whereas only 50.6% of BPA was removed by the same amount of the free laccase. Compared with the laccase, the outstanding BPA degradation efficiency of the LAC@MPEGDA@CS@IOH was maintained over a wider range of pH values and temperatures. Moreover, its relative activity of was maintained at 70.4% after 10 cycles, and the system performed well in actual water matrices. This efficient method for preparing immobilized laccases is simple and green, and it can be used to further develop ecofriendly biocatalysts to remove organic pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
In the current years of heightened focus on green chemistry and sustainable materials, this study delves into the untapped potential of hyaluronic acid (HA), chitin, and chitosan-prominent polysaccharides for groundbreaking applications. The primary aim is to effectively immobilize catalase enzymes onto matrices composed of chitosan, chitin, HA/chitin, and HA/chitosan. The rigorous investigation covers a spectrum of structural enhancements encompassing pH and temperature stability, thermal resilience, half-life extension, storage durability, reusability, and comprehensive FTIR analyses of the catalase immobilization. Notably, catalase activity demonstrated remarkable resilience on HA/chitin and HA/chitosan matrices, maintaining 73.80% and 79.55% efficacy even after 25 cycles. The introduction of covalent cross-linking between catalase and HA/chitin or HA/chitosan, facilitated by a cross-linking agent, significantly amplified stability and recycling efficiency. Consequently, the immobilized catalase showcases substantial promise across a spectrum of industrial applications, spanning from food and detergent production to bioremediation and diverse commercial processes. This underscores its pivotal role as a versatile and invaluable innovation in the realm of sustainable technologies.

Selective recovery of esterase from Trichoderma harzianum through adsorption: Insights on enzymatic catalysis, adsorption isotherms and kinetics. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:134133. [PMID: 39074704 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, numerous attempts have been made to develop a low-cost adsorbent for selectively recovering industrially important products from fermentation broth or complex mixtures. The current study is a novel attempt to selectively adsorb esterase from Trichoderma harzianum using cheap adsorbents like bentonite (BT), activated charcoal (AC), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and titanium dioxide (TiO2). AC had the highest esterase adsorption of 97.58 % due to its larger surface area of 594.45 m3/g. SiO2 was found to have the highest selectivity over esterase, with an estimated purification fold of 7.2. Interestingly, the purification fold of 5.5 was found in the BT-extracted fermentation broth. The functional (FT-IR) and morphological analysis (SEM-EDX) were used to characterize the adsorption of esterase. Esterase adsorption on AC, SiO2, and TiO2 was well fitted by Freundlich isotherm, demonstrating multilayer adsorption of esterase. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model was developed for esterase adsorption in various adsorbents. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that adsorption is an endothermic process. AC has the lowest Gibbs free energy of -10.96 kJ/mol, which supports the spontaneous maximum adsorption of both esterase and protein. In the desorption study, the maximum recovery of esterase from TiO2 using sodium chloride was 41.34 %. Unlike other adsorbents, the AC-adsorbed esterase maintained its catalytic activity and stability, implying that it could be used as an immobilization system for commercial applications. According to the kinetic analysis, the overall rate of the reaction was controlled by reaction kinetics rather than external mass transfer resistance, as indicated by the Damkohler number.

Abstract
Water pollution remains a widespread problem, affecting the health and wellbeing of people around the globe. While current advancements in wastewater treatment and desalination show promise, there are still challenges that need to be overcome to make these technologies commercially viable. Nanotechnology plays a pivotal role in water purification and desalination processes today. However, the release of nanoparticles (NPs) into the environment without proper safeguards can lead to both physical and chemical toxicity. Moreover, many methods of NP synthesis are expensive and not environmentally sustainable. The utilization of biomass as a source for the production of NPs has the potential to mitigate issues pertaining to cost, sustainability, and pollution. The utilization of biobased nanomaterials (bio-NMs) sourced from biomass has garnered attention in the field of water purification due to their cost-effectiveness, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Several research studies have been conducted to efficiently produce NPs (both inorganic and organic) from biomass for applications in wastewater treatment. Biosynthesized materials such as zinc oxide NPs, phytogenic magnetic NPs, biopolymer-coated metal NPs, cellulose nanocrystals, and silver NPs, among others, have demonstrated efficacy in enhancing the process of water purification. The utilization of environmentally friendly NPs presents a viable option for enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of water pollution eradication. The present review delves into the topic of biomass, its origins, and the methods by which it can be transformed into NPs utilizing an environmentally sustainable approach. The present study will examine the utilization of greener NPs in contemporary wastewater and desalination technologies.

Abstract
Due to the specificity, high efficiency, and gentleness of enzyme catalysis, the industrial utilization of enzymes has attracted more and more attention. Immobilized enzymes can be recovered/recycled easily compared to their free forms. The primary benefit of immobilization is protection of the enzymes from harsh environmental conditions (e.g., elevated temperatures, extreme pH values, etc.). In this paper, catalase was successfully immobilized in a poly(aryl ether sulfone) carrier (PAES-C) with tunable pore structure as well as carboxylic acid side chains. Moreover, immobilization factors like temperature, time, and free-enzyme dosage were optimized to maximize the value of the carrier and enzyme. Compared with free enzyme, the immobilized-enzyme exhibited higher enzymatic activity (188.75 U g-1, at 30 °C and pH 7) and better thermal stability (at 60 °C). The adsorption capacity of enzyme protein per unit mass carrier was 4.685 mg. Hydrogen peroxide decomposition carried out in a continuous-flow reactor was selected as a model reaction to investigate the performance of immobilized catalase. Immobilized-enzymes showed a higher conversion rate (90% at 8 mL/min, 1 h and 0.2 g) compared to intermittent operation. In addition, PAES-C has been synthesized using dichlorodiphenyl sulfone and the renewable resource bisphenolic acid, which meets the requirements of green chemistry. These results suggest that PAES-C as a carrier for immobilized catalase could improve the catalytic activity and stability of catalase, simplify the separation of enzymes, and exhibit good stability and reusability.

Abstract
In drug delivery, it is common to use porous particles as carrier media, instead of dense particles, due to their high specific surface area and available entrapment volume, which allows a higher amount of drug to be encapsulated and then released. Chitosan microparticles are extensively used in drug delivery, but porous chitosan microparticles are scarcely reported. In this work, the preparation of porous chitosan microparticles using membrane emulsification is addressed, a technology that involves mild operating conditions and less energy consumption than traditional methods (such as ultrasound), and with higher control of the particle size. The dense structure is obtained by a water-in-oil emulsion. The porous structure is obtained by a gas-in-water-in-oil G/W/O double emulsion, where argon bubbles get entrapped in an aqueous chitosan solution that is further emulsified in a paraffin/petroleum ether mixture. Porous chitosan particles were obtained with sizes of 7.7 ± 1.6 μm, which was comparable with dense chitosan particles (6.2 ± 2.3 μm). The pore structure was optimized by varying the argon flow rate, being optimized at 0.24 L h-1. The impact of drug loading by adsorption or encapsulation, and of the drug release behaviour when using porous and dense particles were assessed, using the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model drug. The results showed that by encapsulating BSA the loading efficiency was above 95 % for both types of particles, with the release being slightly slower for the dense particles. As for the adsorbed BSA, the loading efficiency was significantly higher for porous particles - 70 % - against the 40 % for dense particles. Porous chitosan particles were successfully obtained using the membrane emulsification technology and showed that these carriers are advantageous regarding drug loading and release.

Abstract
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), offer numerous health benefits. Enriching these fatty acids in fish oil using cost-effective methods, like lipase application, has been studied extensively. This research aimed to investigate F. solani as a potential lipase producer and compare its efficacy in enhancing polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids with commercial lipases. Submerged fermentation with coconut oil yielded Lipase F2, showing remarkable activity (215.68 U/mL). Lipase F2 remained stable at pH 8.0 (activity: 93.84 U/mL) and active between 35 and 70 °C, with optimal stability at 35 °C. It exhibited resistance to various surfactants and ions, showing no cytotoxic activity in vitro, crucial for its application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Lipase F2 efficiently enriched EPA and DHA in fish oil, reaching 22.1 mol% DHA and 23.8 mol% EPA. These results underscore the economic viability and efficacy of Lipase F2, a partially purified enzyme obtained using low-cost techniques, demonstrating remarkable stability and resistance to diverse conditions. Its performance was comparable to highly pure commercially available enzymes in omega-3 production. These findings highlight the potential of F. solani as a promising lipase source, offering opportunities for economically producing omega-3 and advancing biotechnological applications in the food and supplements industry.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is a crucial technique for improving the stability of enzymes. Compared with free enzymes, immobilized enzymes offer several advantages in industrial applications. Efficient enzyme immobilization requires a technique that integrates the advantages of physical absorption and covalent binding while addressing the limitations of conventional support materials. This study offers a practical approach for immobilizing α-amylase on a hierarchically porous chitosan (CS) monolith. An optimized CS monolith was fabricated using chemically modified chitin by thermally induced phase separation. By combining physical adsorption and covalent bonding, this technique leverages the amino and hydroxy groups present in CS to facilitate effective enzyme binding and stability. α-Amylase immobilized on the CS monolith demonstrated excellent stability, reusability, and increased activity compared to its soluble counterpart across various pH levels and temperatures. In addition, the CS monolith exhibited a significant potential to immobilize other enzymes, namely, lipase and catalase. Immobilized lipase and catalase exhibited higher loading capacities and enhanced activities than their soluble forms. This versatility highlights the broad applicability of CS monoliths as support materials for various enzymatic processes. This study provides guidelines for fabricating hierarchical porous monolith structures that can provide efficient enzyme utilization in flow systems and potentially enhance the cost-effectiveness of enzymes in industrial applications.

Abstract
Hexaric acids have attracted attention lately because they are platform chemicals for synthesizing pharmaceuticals. In particular, gluconic acid is one of the most studied because it is readily available in nature. In this work, operational conditions like temperature and pH were evaluated for the enzymatic production of gluconic acid. For this purpose, glucose oxidase (GOx) and catalase (CAT) were individually immobilized and co-immobilized using amino-silica as support. The catalytic performance of the enzymes both as separate biocatalysts (GOx or CAT) and as an enzymatic complex (GOx-CAT) was assessed in terms of enzymatic activity and stability at temperatures 45 °C and 50 °C and pH 6 to 8. The results show that CAT is a key enzyme for gluconic acid production as it prevents GOx from being inhibited by H2O2. However, CAT was found to be less stable than GOx. Therefore, different GOx to CAT enzymatic ratios were studied, and a ratio of 1-3 was determined to be the best. The highest glucose conversion conditions were 45 °C and pH 7.0 for 24 h. Regarding the biocatalyst reuse, GOx-CAT retained more than 70% of its activity after 6 reaction cycles. These results contribute to further knowledge and application of oxidases for hexaric acid production and shed greater light on the role of the glucose oxidase/catalase pair in better catalytic performance. Both enzymes were immobilized in one pot, which is relevant for their potential use in industry; an enzyme system was obtained in a single step.

Abstract
Washing and sanitation are vital steps during the postharvest processing of fresh produce to reduce the microbial load on the produce surface. Although current process control and validation tools effectively predict sanitizer concentrations in wash water, they have significant limitations in assessing sanitizer effectiveness for reducing microbial counts on produce surfaces. These challenges highlight the urgent need to improve the validation of sanitation processes, especially considering the presence of dynamic organic contaminants and complex surface topographies. This study aims to provide the fresh produce industry with a novel, reliable, and highly accurate method for validating the sanitation efficacy on the produce surface. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of using a food-grade, catalase (CAT)-immobilized biomimetic leaf in combination with vibrational spectroscopy and machine learning to predict microbial inactivation on microgreen surfaces. This was tested using two sanitizers: sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The developed CAT-immobilized leaf-replicated PDMS (CAT@L-PDMS) effectively mimics the microscale topographies and bacterial distribution on the leaf surface. Alterations in the FTIR spectra of CAT@L-PDMS, following simulated sanitation processes, indicate chemical changes due to CAT oxidation induced by NaClO or H2O2 treatments, facilitating the subsequent machine learning modeling. Among the five algorithms tested, the competitive adaptive reweighted sampling partial least squares discriminant analysis (CARS-PLSDA) algorithm was the most effective for classifying the inactivation efficacy of E. coli on microgreen leaf surfaces. It predicted bacterial reduction on microgreen surfaces with 100% accuracy in both training and prediction sets for NaClO, and 95% in the training set and 86% in the prediction set for H2O2. This approach can improve the validation of fresh produce sanitation processes and pave the way for future research.

Keet G, Du Toit JP, Pott RWM. Methods for the separation of hydraulic retention time and solids retention time in the application of photosynthetic microorganisms in photobioreactors: a review. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 40:100. [PMID: 38366203 PMCID: PMC10873236 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-024-03909-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
Photosynthetic microorganisms have a wide range of biotechnical applications, through the application of their versatile metabolisms. However, their use in industry has been extremely limited to date, partially because of the additional complexities associated with their cultivation in comparison to other organisms. Strategies and developments in photobioreactors (PBRs) designed for their culture and applications are needed to drive the field forward. One particular area which bears examination is the use of strategies to separate solid- and hydraulic-residence times (SRT and HRT), to facilitate flow-through systems and continuous processing. The aim of this review is to discuss the various types of PBRs and methods which are currently demonstrated in the literature and industry, with a focus on the separation of HRT and SRT. The use of an efficient method of biomass retention in a PBR may be advantageous as it unlocks the option for continuous operation, which may improve efficiency, and improve economic feasibility of large-scale implementation of photosynthetic biocatalysts, especially where biomass is not the primary product. Due to the underexplored nature of the separation of HRT and SRT in reactors using photosynthetic microorganisms, limited literature is available regarding their performance, efficiencies, and potential issues. This review first introduces an overview into photosynthetic microorganisms cultivated and commonly exploited for use in biotechnological applications, with reference to bioreactor considerations specific to each organism. Following this, the existing technologies used for the separation of HRT and SRT in PBRs are explored. The respective advantages and disadvantages are discussed for each PBR design, which may inform an interested bioprocess engineer.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4361. [PMID: 38006085 PMCID: PMC10674166 DOI: 10.3390/polym15224361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Modified polymer design has attracted significant attention for enzyme immobilization, offering promising applications. In this study, amine-terminated polymers were synthesized by incorporating functional groups into polyacrylonitrile using hexamethylenediamine. This work highlights the successful enzyme immobilization strategy using modified polymers, offering improved stability and expanded operational conditions for potential biotechnological applications. The resulting amino groups were utilized to capture silver ions, which were subsequently converted to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The obtained materials, AgNPs@TA-HMDA (acrylic textiles coated silver nanoparticles AgNPs) and Ag(I)@TA-HMDA (acrylic textiles coated with Ag ion) were employed as supports for β-glucosidase enzyme immobilization. The highest immobilization yields (IY%) were achieved with AgNPs@TA-HMDA at 92%, followed by Ag(I)@TA-HMDA at 79.8%, resulting in activity yields (AY%) of 81% and 73%, respectively. Characterization techniques such as FTIR, FE-SEM, EDX, TG/DTG, DSC, and zeta potential were employed to investigate the structural composition, surface morphologies, elemental composition, thermal properties, and surface charge of the support materials. After 15 reuses, the preservation percentages decreased to 76% for AgNPs@TA-HMDA/β-Glu and 65% for Ag(I)@TA-HMDA/β-Glu. Storage stability revealed that the decrease in activity for the immobilized enzymes was smaller than the free enzyme. The optimal pH for the immobilized enzymes was broader (pH 5.5 to 6.5) compared to the free enzyme (pH 5.0), and the optimal temperature for the immobilized enzymes was 60 °C, slightly higher than the free enzyme's optimal temperature of 50 °C. The kinetic analysis showed a slight increase in Michaelis constant (Km) values for the immobilized enzymes and a decrease in maximum velocity (Vmax), turnover number (Kcat), and specificity constant (Kcat/Km) values compared to the free enzyme. Through extensive characterization, we gained valuable insights into the structural composition and properties of the modified polymer supports. This research significantly contributes to the development of efficient biotechnological processes by advancing the field of enzyme immobilization and offering valuable knowledge for its potential applications.

Co-Immobilization of a Multi-Enzyme Cascade: (S)-Selective Amine Transaminases, l-Amino Acid Oxidase and Catalase. Chembiochem 2023; 24:e202300425. [PMID: 37368451 DOI: 10.1002/cbic.202300425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
An enzyme cascade was established previously consisting of a recycling system with an l-amino acid oxidase (hcLAAO4) and a catalase (hCAT) for different α-keto acid co-substrates of (S)-selective amine transaminases (ATAs) in kinetic resolutions of racemic amines. Only 1 mol % of the co-substrate was required and l-amino acids instead of α-keto acids could be applied. However, soluble enzymes cannot be reused easily. Immobilization of hcLAAO4, hCAT and the (S)-selective ATA from Vibrio fluvialis (ATA-Vfl) was addressed here. Immobilization of the enzymes together rather than on separate beads showed higher reaction rates most likely due to fast co-substrate channeling between ATA-Vfl and hcLAAO4 due to their close proximity. Co-immobilization allowed further reduction of the co-substrate amount to 0.1 mol % most likely due to a more efficient H2 O2 -removal caused by the stabilized hCAT and its proximity to hcLAAO4. Finally, the co-immobilized enzyme cascade was reused in 3 cycles of preparative kinetic resolutions to produce (R)-1-PEA with high enantiomeric purity (97.3 %ee). Further recycling was inefficient due to the instability of ATA-Vfl, while hcLAAO4 and hCAT revealed high stability. An engineered ATA-Vfl-8M was used in the co-immobilized enzyme cascade to produce (R)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethanamine, an apremilast-intermediate, with a 1,000 fold lower input of the co-substrate.

Abstract
The synergistic combination of biocatalysts and nanomaterials provides a new interface of a robust biocatalytic system that can effectively remediate environmental pollutants. Enzymes, such as catalase-based constructs, impart the desired candidature for catalytic transformation processes and are potential alternatives to replace conventional remediation strategies that have become laborious and somewhat inefficient. Furthermore, the controlled or uncontrolled discharge of various emerging pollutants (EPs) into water bodies is equally proportional to the fast-growing population and extensive urbanization. EPs affect the entire living being and continuously deteriorate the environmental system, directly or indirectly. The occurrence of EPs (even released after partial treatments, but still in bioactive forms) disturbs ecological integrity. Due to the ineffectiveness of in-practice traditional remediation processes, new and robust treatment measures as effective and sustainable remediation have become a meaningful goal. In this context, special attention has been shifted to engineering an enzyme (catalase)-based biodegradation system with immense prospects in environmental cleanup. The unique synergistic combination of nanomaterials (having multifunctional attributes) with enzymes of interest makes them a state-of-the-art interface that can further ameliorate bio-catalysis and biodegradation performance. This review covers current research and scientific advancement in developing and deploying catalase-based biocatalytic systems to mitigate several EPs from the environment matrices. The biocatalytic features of catalase, along with the mechanistic insight into H2O2 neutralization, several nano-based materials loaded with catalase, including nanoparticles (NPs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polymeric-based composites, oxime-functionalized cryo-gel disks, electro-spun nanofibrous membranes, and other hybrid materials have also been discussed with suitable examples.

Abstract
This study uses a cost effective and efficient method for production of higher DP (degree of polymerization) Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from xylan extracted from the waste walnut shells. Copper based metal organic framework (Cu-BTC MOF) was prepared for immobilization of free xylanase (Xy) enzyme by green synthesis method. Both free and immobilized xylanase (Xy-Cu-BTC) were able to cause the bioconversion of xylan (87.4% yield) into XOS. Predominant production of xylotetrose (X4) and xylopentose (X5) was observed for both the methods. Percentage XOS conversion for free enzyme (Xy) was found to be 4.1% X4 and 60.57% X5 whereas these values increased in case of immobilized system where 11.8% X4 and 64.2% X5 were produced. Xylose production was minute in case of immobilized xylanase 0.88% which makes it a better method for XOS production free from xylose interference. Xy-Cu-BTC MOF can hence be used as an attractive alternative for pure XOS production.

Abstract
In the current study, the purified β-mannanase (Man/Cel5B) from Thermotoga maritima was immobilized on glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan beads. The immobilization of Man/Cel5B on chitosan beads was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. After immobilization, the protein loading efficiency and immobilization yield were found to be 73.3% and 71.8%, respectively. The optimum pH for both free and immobilized enzymes was found to be pH 5.5. However, the optimum temperature of immobilized Man/Cel5B increased by 10 °C, from 85 °C (free Man/Cel5B) to 95 °C (Immobilized). The half-life of free and immobilized enzymes was found to be 7 h and 9 h, respectively, at 85 °C owing to the higher thermostability of immobilized Man/Cel5B. The increase in thermostability was also demonstrated by an increase in the energy of deactivation (209 kJmol−1) for immobilized enzyme compared to its native form (92 kJmol−1), at 85 °C. Furthermore, the immobilized Man/Cel5B displayed good operational stability as it retained 54% of its original activity after 15 repeated catalytic reactions concerning its free form.

Abstract
We set out to isolate alpha-amylase producers from soil samples, optimize the production, and immobilize the enzyme on chitosan-loaded barium ferrite nanoparticles (CLBFNPs). Alpha-amylase producers were isolated on starch agar plates and confirmed by dinitrosalicylic acid assay. The potent isolate was identified by phenotypic methods, 16S-rRNA sequencing, and phylogenetic mapping. Sequential optimization of α-amylase production involved the use of Plackett–Burman (P–BD) and central composite designs (CCD), in addition to exposing the culture to different doses of gamma irradiation. Alpha-amylase was immobilized on CLBFNPs, and the nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, with energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray analysis. Forty-five α-amylase producers were isolated from 100 soil samples. The highest activity (177.12 ± 6.12 U/mg) was detected in the MS009 isolate, which was identified as Bacillus paramycoides. The activity increased to 222.3 ± 5.07 U/mg when using the optimal culture conditions identified by P–BD and CCD, and to 319.45 ± 4.91 U/mg after exposing the culture to 6 kGy. Immobilization of α-amylase on CLBFNPs resulted in higher activity (246.85 ± 6.76 U/mg) compared to free α-amylase (222.254 ± 4.89 U/mg), in addition to retaining activity for up to five cycles of usage. Gamma irradiation improved α-amylase production, while immobilization on CLBFNPs enhanced activity, facilitated enzyme recovery, and enabled its repetitive use.

Abstract
Enzymes of commercial importance, such as lipase, amylase, laccase, phytase, carbonic anhydrase, pectinase, maltase, glucose oxidase etc., show multifunctional features and have been extensively used in several fields including fine chemicals, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, energy, food industry, agriculture and nutraceutical etc. The deployment of biocatalyst in harsh industrial conditions has some limitations, such as poor stability. These drawbacks can be overcome by immobilizing the enzyme in order to boost the operational stability, catalytic activity along with facilitating the reuse of biocatalyst. Nowadays, functionalized polymers and composites have gained increasing attention as an innovative material for immobilizing the industrially important enzyme. The different types of polymeric materials and composites are pectin, agarose, cellulose, nanofibers, gelatin, and chitosan. The functionalization of these materials enhances the loading capacity of the enzyme by providing more functional groups to the polymeric material and hence enhancing the enzyme immobilization efficiency. However, appropriate coordination among the functionalized polymeric materials and enzymes of interest plays an important role in producing emerging biocatalysts with improved properties. The optimal coordination at a biological, physical, and chemical level is requisite to develop an industrial biocatalyst. Bio-catalysis has become vital aspect in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for synthesis of value-added chemicals. The present review describes the current advances in enzyme immobilization on functionalized polymers and composites. Furthermore, the applications of immobilized enzymes in various sectors including bioremediation, biosensor and biodiesel are also discussed.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is a powerful method to improve the stability, reuse, and enzymatic properties of enzymes. The immobilization of the α-amylase enzyme from Aspergillus fumigatus on a chitin-bentonite (CB) hybrid has been studied to improve its stability. Therefore, this study aims to obtain the higher stability of α-amylase enzyme to reduce industrial costs. The procedures were performed as follows: production, isolation, partial purification, immobilization, and characterization of the free and immobilized enzymes. The CB hybrid was synthesized by bentonite, chitin, and glutaraldehyde as a cross-linker. The free enzyme was immobilized onto CB hybrid using 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 7.5. The free and immobilized enzymes were characterized by optimum temperature, Michaelis constant (KM), maximum velocity (Vmax), thermal inactivation rate constant (ki), half-life (t1/2), and transformation of free energy because of denaturation (ΔGi). The free enzyme has optimum temperature of 55°C, KM = 3.04 mg mL−1 substrate, Vmax=10.90 μmolemL−1min−1, ki = 0.0171 min−1, t1/2 = 40.53 min, and ΔGi = 104.47 kJ mole−1. Meanwhile, the immobilized enzyme has optimum temperature of 60°C, KM = 11.57 mg mL−1 substrate, Vmax=3.37 μmolemL−1min−1, ki = 0.0045 min−1, t1/2 = 154.00 min, and ΔGi = 108.17 kJ mole−1. After sixth cycle of reuse, the residual activity of the immobilized enzyme was 38%. The improvement in the stability of α-amylase immobilized on the CB hybrid based on the increase in half-life was four times of the free enzyme.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based matrix prepared using biopolymers is a new frontier of emerging platforms for enzyme immobilization for biomedical applications. Catalase (CAT) delivery can be effective in inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated prolongation of the wound healing process. In this study, to improve CAT stability for effective application, gelatin(Gel)–alginate (Alg) biocompatible hydrogel (Gel–Alg), as immobilization support, was prepared using calcium chloride as an ionic cross-linker. High entrapment efficiency of 92% was obtained with 2% Gel and 1.5% Alg. Hydrogel immobilized CAT (CAT–Gel–Alg) showed a wide range of pH from 4 to 9 and temperature stability between 20 to 60 °C, compared to free CAT. CAT–Gel–Alg kinetic parameters revealed an increased Km (24.15 mM) and a decreased Vmax (1.39 µmol H2O2/mg protein min) × 104. CAT–Gel–Alg retained 52% of its original activity after 20 consecutive catalytic runs and displayed improved thermal stability with a higher t1/2 value (half-life of 100.43 vs. 46 min). In addition, 85% of the initial activity was maintained after 8 weeks’ storage at 4 °C. At 24 h after thermal injury, a statistically significant difference in lesion sizes between the treated group and the control group was reported. Finally, our findings suggest that the superior CAT–Gel–Alg stability and reusability are resonant features for efficient biomedical applications, and ROS scavenging by CAT in the post-burn phase offers protection for local treatment of burned tissues with encouraging wound healing kinetics.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and dyes are a very important part of the nonbiodegradable or hard biodegradable substances present in wastewater. Microorganisms are already known to be effective biosorbents, but the use of free microbial cells involves difficulties in their separation from effluents and limits their application in wastewater treatment. Thus, this study aimed to develop biosorbents by immobilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces pastorianus and Saccharomyces pastorianus residual biomass on natural polymers (alginate and chitosan) and to evaluate the biosorptive potential for removal of pharmaceuticals and dyes from water. Six types of biosorbents were synthesized and characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy techniques and their biosorptive capacities for three drugs (cephalexin, rifampicin, ethacridine lactate) and two dyes (orange II and indigo carmine) were evaluated. The obtained results show that the removal efficiency depends on the polymer type used for the immobilization. In case of alginate the removal efficiency is between 40.05% and 96.41% for drugs and between 27.83% and 58.29% for dyes, while in the case of chitosan it is between 40.83% and 77.92% for drugs and between 17.17% and 44.77% for dyes. In general, the synthesized biosorbents proved to be promising for the removal of drugs and dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The strong catalytic performance, eco-friendly reaction systems, and selectivity of enzyme-based biocatalysts are extremely interesting. Immobilization has been shown to be a good way to improve enzyme stability and recyclability. Chitosan-incorporated metal oxides, among other support matrices, are an intriguing class of support matrices for the immobilization of various enzymes. Herein, the cross-linked chitosan/zinc oxide nanocomposite (CS/ZnO) was synthesized and further improved by adding iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles. The final cross-linked CS/ZnO/Fe2O3 nanocomposite was used as an immobilized support for catalase and is characterized by SEM, EDS, and FTIR. The nanocomposite CS/ZnO/Fe2O3 enhanced the biocompatibility and immobilized system properties. CS/ZnO/Fe2O3 achieved a higher immobilization yield (84.32%) than CS/ZnO (37%). After 10 repeated cycles, the remaining immobilized catalase activity of CS/ZnO and CS/ZnO/Fe2O3 was 14% and 45%, respectively. After 60 days of storage at 4 °C, the remaining activity of immobilized enzyme onto CS/ZnO and CS/ZnO/Fe2O3 was found to be 32% and 47% of its initial activity. The optimum temperature was noticed to be broad at 25–30 °C for the immobilized enzyme and 25 °C for the free enzyme. Compared with the free enzyme optimum pH (7.0), the optimum pH for the immobilized enzyme was 7.5. The Km and Vmax values for the free and immobilized enzyme on CS/ZnO, and the immobilized enzyme on CS/ZnO/Fe2O3, were found to be 91.28, 225.17, and 221.59 mM, and 10.45, 15.87, and 19.92 µmole ml−1, respectively. Catalase immobilization on CS/ZnO and CS/ZnO/Fe2O3 offers better stability than free catalase due to the enzyme’s half-life. The half-life of immobilized catalase on CS/ZnO/Fe2O3 was between 31.5 and 693.2 min.

Abstract
A new matrix formulation was devised for catalase immobilization. Carrageenan-alginate beads different ratios were developed and soaked into different ratios of CaCl2-KCl as a hardening solution. The best formulation for loading capacity was selected, treated with polyethylene imine followed by glutaraldehyde and further studied. The best concentration of catalase for immobilization was 300U/ml and the best loading time was 6 h. The catalytic properties increased after immobilization and the immobilized catalase achieved optimum activity at a temperature range of 30-50 °C that was compared to the optimum activity of free catalase which occurred at 40 °C. Higher catalytic activity of immobilized catalase occurred at alkaline pHs than the free one which achieved optimum catalytic activity at neutral pH. A comparison between the kinetic parameters of immobilized and free catalase showed variation. The K M and Vmax of the immobilized catalase were 2.4 fold and six times higher than those of free catalase. The results of the study indicate that the formulated matrix can be used as a good matrix for catalase enzyme in various industrial applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a convenient and efficient means for organophosphate (OP) insecticide detection, a simple, cost-effective, and easy-to-use absorbance-based sensing device was generated using methyl parathion hydrolase fused with glutathione-S-transferase (MPH-GST) covalently immobilized onto a chitosan film-coated microplate. RESULTS With methyl parathion (MP) as a representative substrate, this MPH-GST sensing microplate had the detection limit of 0.1 µM and the linear range of 0.1-50 µM. Despite its highest stability at 4 °C, it was considerably stable at 25 °C with high activity for 30 days. It was also most stable at pH 8.0 and could be efficiently reused up to 100 rounds. The device revealed a high percentage of recovery for tap water spiked with a known concentration of MP, which was also comparable to the result obtained from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It also showed a high recovery of 82-100% with MP spiked agricultural products and satisfactory results with non-spiked samples. This immobilized enzyme sensing system was more sensitive and efficient than the whole cell system from our previous work. CONCLUSIONS All of the advantages of the MPH-GST sensing microplate developed have rendered it suitable for rapid and convenient OP screening, and for being a bio-element for fabricating a potential optical biosensor in the future.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive clinical protocol that combines a nontoxic photosensitizer (PS), appropriate visible light, and molecular oxygen for cancer treatment. This triad generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ, leading to different cell death pathways and limiting the arrival of nutrients by irreversible destruction of the tumor vascular system. Despite the number of formulations and applications available, the advancement of therapy is hindered by some characteristics such as the hypoxic condition of solid tumors and the limited energy density (light fluence) that reaches the target. As a result, the use of PDT as a definitive monotherapy for cancer is generally restricted to pretumor lesions or neoplastic tissue of approximately 1 cm in size. To expand this limitation, researchers have synthesized functional nanoparticles (NPs) capable of carrying classical photosensitizers with self-supplying oxygen as well as targeting specific organelles such as mitochondria and lysosomes. This has improved outcomes in vitro and in vivo. This review highlights the basis of PDT, many of the most commonly used strategies of functionalization of smart NPs, and their potential to break the current limits of the classical protocol of PDT against cancer. The application and future perspectives of the multifunctional nanoparticles in PDT are also discussed in some detail.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to evaluate the immobilization of the enzyme β-galactosidase in a genipin-activated chitosan support. The influence of the number of spheres and substrate concentration on immobilization yield (IY) and enzyme activity (EA) was analyzed using experimental design. Thermal, operational and storage stabilities were assessed, and the enzymatic derivatives were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The TGA showed that the enzymatic derivatives kept their thermal behavior, and the SEM images revealed smooth surfaces in all the spheres. The optimized conditions for the immobilization process were 4.57 mg·mL-1 of spheres and a substrate concentration of 10 mM (IY = 84.13%; EA = 24.97 U·g-1). Thermal stability was enhanced at 10 and 37 °C, enabling four successive cycles of lactose hydrolysis in diluted UHT milk. Therefore, the immobilized enzyme in genipin-activated chitosan has potential for lactose hydrolysis and applications in the food industry.

Abstract
A voltammetric biosensor for acetylthiocholine (ATCh) and paraoxon detection was successfully developed. To achieve this goal, polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized onto the platinum (Pt) electrode surface in 0.30 M oxalic acid solution containing 25 mM pyrrole. PPy-coated Pt (Pt/PPy) electrode surface was covered with chitosan (Chi) (Pt/PPy/Chi). The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme was immobilized on the Pt/PPy/Chi electrode surface to build a voltammetric biosensor (Pt/PPy/Chi/AChE). The storage stability of the biosensor was determined to be 72% even after 60 days. The operational stability was determined to be 94% after 20 consecutive measurements. For the biosensor, the linear range was determined to be 30-50 µM for ATCh and 0.46-1.84 nM for paraoxon. The limit of detection (LOD) was determined to be 0.45 µM for ATCh and 0.17 nM for paraoxon.

Abstract
Protein inactivation either during the production process or along the gastrointestinal tract is the major problem associated with the development of oral delivery systems for biological drugs. This work presents an evaluation of the structural integrity and the biological activity of a model protein, catalase, after its encapsulation in glyceryl trimyristate-based solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) obtained by the spray congealing technology. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopies were used to assess the integrity of catalase released from SLMs. The results confirmed that no conformational change occurred during the production process and both the secondary and tertiary structures were retained. Catalase is highly sensitive to temperature and undergoes denaturation above 60 °C; nevertheless, spray congealing allowed the retention of most biological activity due to the loading of the drug at the solid state, markedly reducing the risk of denaturation. Catalase activity after exposure to simulated gastric conditions (considering both acidic pH and the presence of gastric digestive hydrolases) ranged from 35 to 95% depending on the carrier: increasing of both the fatty acid chain length and the degree of substitution of the glyceride enhanced residual enzyme activity. SLMs allowed the protein release in a simulated intestinal environment and were not cytotoxic against HT29 cells. In conclusion, the encapsulation of proteins into SLMs by spray congealing might be a promising strategy for the formulation of nontoxic and inexpensive oral biotherapeutic products.

Characterization of cryogel was performed using FTIR, SEM, EDX, BET, and swelling test. Synthesized cryogel beared pores with ~ 200 μm in size and the surface area of 11.8 m2/g. Maximum catalase adsorption was (17.6 ± 0.29 mg/g) measured at pH 4.0 and 25 °C. The adsorption sites on the cryogel were saturated at 0.75 mg/mL enzyme concentration. Increased ionic strength caused a decrease in adsorption capacity. Desorption of catalase from cryogel was enabled using 0.5 M NaSCN solution. Consecutive adsorption experiments were carried out fifteen times to evaluate the reusability of the cryogel. Thermal, storage, and operational stabilities of immobilized catalase were higher than the free one. The data produced implicate that catalase-adsorbed dye-affinity cryogel may be used for H2O2 detection or removal when necessary. Graphical Abstract.

Easy-to-use and reliable absorbance-based MPH-GST biosensor for the detection of methyl parathion pesticide. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 27:e00495. [PMID: 32642456 PMCID: PMC7334298 DOI: 10.1016/j.btre.2020.e00495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Revised: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Simple, inexpensive, high-efficiency absorbance-based OP biosensor was fabricated. Covalently immobilized methyl parathion hydrolase was used as a biomolecule. The biosensor can be used at room temperature for 100 rounds repetitively. The biosensor could detect MP with the detection limit of 0.1 μM. The biosensor showed high reliability for detecting MP in real samples.
Due to high contamination of organophosphate (OP) insecticides in agricultural products and the environment, efficient and convenient devices for their monitoring are necessary. Here, a simple, inexpensive, efficient, and easy-to-use absorbance-based biosensor was fabricated utilizing recombinant methyl parathion hydrolase fused with glutathione-S-transferase (MPH-GST), covalently immobilized onto a chitosan film-coated polystyrene microplate, for the detection of methyl parathion (MP) as a representative of OPs. Having been connected to the transducer system designed to work through an Arduino microcontroller, the biosensor could detect MP as efficiently as the conventional methods, with the detection limit of 0.1 μM, the lowest value ever reported for this method. It was stable at 25 °C for 30 days, could function 100 rounds repetitively, and yielded high recovery with real samples. Hence, this simply designed MPH-GST biosensor could be an easy and inexpensive alternative for efficient OP screening at site to help control its contamination.

Abstract
Immobilization of enzyme onto nanoparticles such as chitosan can have biotechnological importance. In this study, chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) were prepared by Ionic gelation method and Endoglucanase Cel9A from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldariius (AaCel9A) immobilized on the nanoparticles. The FTIR results showed that the enzymes were immobilized on the ChNPs. The dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscope (SEM) results illustrated that the AaCel9A-ChNPs approximately had 40 nm diameters. For optimizing enzyme immobilization, response surface methodology was employed using different variables (pH, enzyme immobilization time, and enzyme to ChNPs ratio [E/Cs]). The results showed that the high immobilization efficiency was achieved in pH 7, E/Cs of 0.4 in 2.63 hr. The enzyme activity results showed that, immobilization increased optimum pH for activity (from 6.5 to 7.5) and the enzyme Km (from 3.703 to 12.195 [mg/ml]), which make it suitable to use in some industries such as detergents.

Abstract
Abstract
Permeabilization is one of the effective tools, used to increase the accessibility of intracellular enzymes. Immobilization is one of the best approaches to reuse the enzyme. Present investigation use both techniques to obtain a biocatalyst with high catalase activity. At the beginning the isopropyl alcohol was used to permeabilize cells of baker’s yeast in order to maximize the catalase activity within the treated cells. Afterwards the permeabilized cells were immobilized in calcium alginate beads and this biocatalyst was used for the degradation of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. The optimal sodium alginate concentration and cell mass concentration for immobilization process were determined. The temperature and pH for maximum decomposition of hydrogen peroxide were assigned and are 20°C and 7 respectively. Prepared biocatalyst allowed 3.35-times faster decomposition as compared to alginate beads with non permeabilized cells. The immobilized biocatalyst lost ca. 30% activity after ten cycles of repeated use in batch operations. Each cycles duration was 10 minutes. Permeabilization and subsequent immobilization of the yeast cells allowed them to be transformed into biocatalysts with an enhanced catalase activity, which can be successfully used to decompose hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
There is a current need to fabricate new biobased functional materials. Bottom-up approaches to assemble simple molecular units have shown promise for biomaterial fabrication due to their tunability and versatility for the incorporation of functionalities. Herein, the fabrication of catalytic protein thin films by the entrapment of catalase into protein films composed of a scaffolding protein is demonstrated. Extensive structural and functional characterization of the films provide evidence of the structural integrity, order, stability, catalytic activity, and reusability of the biocatalytic materials. Finally, these functional biomaterials are coupled with piezoelectric disks to fabricate a second generation of bio-inorganic generators. These devices are capable of producing electricity from renewable fuels through catalase-driven gas production that mechanically stimulates the piezoelectric material.

Abstract
Graphene, graphene oxide and their related thiographene-, hydroxygraphene- or fluorographene-based materials have broad applications. We report on the thiol-functionalization of fluorographene via xanthogenate. Such thiographene contains 5.1 at% of sulphur in the form of thiol groups, which is the highest thiol content reported to date. Such tailored thiographene allows the immobilization of two types of enzymes. Here, we explore the functionalization of highly thiolated graphene with enzymes via physisorption or covalent linkage producing an important heterogeneous biocatalyst platform for wastewater treatment applications. Thiographene modified with a lipase from Mucor miehei can find utilization in lipid-rich wastewater treatment whereas the catalase-modified thiographene is intended for bioremediation applications. Upon increasing concentration of the thiol groups on graphene, protein loading of the catalase was increased by 16% and the ester bond cleavage activity of the thiographene-immobilized lipase was 129% that of the free lipase. We expect that such a highly active heterogeneous thiographene-based biocatalyst will find a use in water remediation applications.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide is converted by catalase to molecular oxygen and water to remove oxidative stress. In this study, catalase immobilization was performed using poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate) (poly(HEMA-GMA)) cryogels with different amounts of GMA. Catalase adsorption capacity of 298.7 ± 9.9 mg/g was achieved at the end of 9 h using the poly(HEMA-GMA)-250 cryogel. Kinetic parameters and the inhibitory effects of pesticides such as 4,4'-DDE and 4,4'-DDT on the activity of free and immobilized catalase enzyme were investigated. While the Vmax value of the immobilized enzyme was reduced 4-fold compared to the free enzyme, in the case of the comparison of the KM values, the affinity of the immobilized enzyme was increased by 1.94 times against the substrate. The inhibitory effect of 4,4'-DDT pesticide was found to be higher for the immobilized and free enzyme. NaCl (1 M, pH: 7.0) solution was used for desorption of the adsorbed catalase enzyme. A desorption ratio of 96.45% was achieved. The technique used in this study is promising regarding for the immobilization of catalase enzyme to increase the operational activity. Therefore, poly(HEMA-GMA) cryogels have the potential to be used for immobilization of catalase enzyme in the fields of biology and biochemistry.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan halogenated acetates were successfully synthesized from six different haloacetic acids and hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) with high substitution degree, which are hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan bromacetate (HACBA), hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan chloroacetate (HACCA), hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan dichloroacetate (HACDCA), hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan trichloroacetate (HACTCA), hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan difluoroacetate (HACDFA), and hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan trifluoroacetate (HACTFA). These chitosan derivatives were synthesized by two steps: first, the hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan was synthesized by chitosan and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride. Then, hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan halogenated acetates were synthesized via ion exchange. The structures of chitosan derivatives were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ¹H Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (¹H NMR), 13C Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (13C NMR), and elemental analysis. Their antifungal activities against Colletotrichum lagenarium, Fusarium graminearum, Botrytis cinerea, and Phomopsis asparagi were investigated by hypha measurement in vitro. The results revealed that hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan halogenated acetates had better antifungal activities than chitosan and HACC. In particular, the inhibitory activity decreased in the order: HACTFA > HACDFA > HACTCA > HACDCA > HACCA > HACBA > HACC > chitosan, which was consistent with the electron-withdrawing property of different halogenated acetates. This experiment provides a potential idea for the preparation of new antifungal drugs by chitosan.
