Abstract
The process of mechanically stirred membrane reactor containing the suspension of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilized on synthesized nanocomposite (Tau-SiO2@Fe3O4-GO) was designed for continuous degradation of tetracycline. The immobilized HRP was characterized in terms of kinetic parameters and catalytic activities as these parameters were improved highly through immobilization. The stability indices including pH and temperature were investigated in parallel. The immobilized HRP was more tolerable to pH changes as compared to free HRP and the optimum temperature obtained at 40 °C. The reusability of HRP was promoted by immobilization as far as 70% of initial activity after ten cycles. The enzymatic degradation of optimum concentration of tetracycline was carried out in batch condition and 100% of tetracycline removed after 30 min. The results also showed that higher concentration of H2O2 exhibited more oxidation of tetracycline. The optimal ratio of HRP/H2O2 was also obtained at 0.005. The simultaneous process including separation and the biocatalytic degradation established in the membrane stirrer reactor concluded that no amount of tetracycline was observed in the permeate stream coming from the membrane after 30 min of operation.

Abstract
Laccases play a crucial role in neutralizing environmental pollutants, including antibiotics and phenolic compounds, by converting them into less harmful substances via a unique oxidation process. This study introduces an environmentally sustainable remediation technique, utilizing NiO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through green chemistry to immobilize a metagenome-derived laccase, PersiLac1, enhancing its application in pollutant detoxification. Salvadora persica leaf extract was used for the synthesis of NiO nanoparticles, utilizing its phytochemical constituents as reducing and capping agents, followed by characterization through different analyses. Characterization of NiO nanoparticles revealed distinctive FTIR absorption peaks indicating the nanoparticulate structure, while FESEM showed structured NiO with robust interconnections and dimensionality of about 50nm, confirmed by EDX analysis to have a consistent distribution of Ni and O. The immobilized PersiLac1 demonstrated enhanced thermal stability, with 85.55 % activity at 80 °C and reduced enzyme leaching, retaining 67.93 % activity across 15 biocatalytic cycles. It efficiently reduced rice straw (RS) phenol by 67.97 % within 210 min and degraded 70-78 % of tetracycline (TC) across a wide pH range (4.0-8.0), showing superior performance over the free enzyme. Immobilized laccase achieved up to 71 % TC removal at 40-80 °C, significantly outperforming the free enzyme. Notably, 54 % efficiency was achieved at 500 mg/L TC by immobilized laccase at 120 min. This research showed the potential of green-synthesized NiO nanoparticles to effectively immobilize laccase, presenting an eco-friendly approach to purify pollutants such as phenols and antibiotics. The durability and reusability of the immobilized enzyme, coupled with its ability to reduce pollutants, indicates a viable method for cleaning the environment. Nonetheless, the production costs and scalability of NiO nanoparticles for widespread industrial applications pose significant challenges. Future studies should focus on implementation at an industrial level and examine a wider range of pollutants to fully leverage the environmental clean-up capabilities of this innovative technology.

Detoxification of tetracycline and synthetic dyes by a newly characterized Lentinula edodes laccase, and safety assessment using proteomic analysis. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 276:116324.

Abstract
Fungal laccase has strong ability in detoxification of many environmental contaminants. A putative laccase gene, LeLac12, from Lentinula edodes was screened by secretome approach. LeLac12 was heterogeneously expressed and purified to characterize its enzymatic properties to evaluate its potential use in bioremediation. This study showed that the extracellular fungal laccase from L. edodes could effectively degrade tetracycline (TET) and the synthetic dye Acid Green 25 (AG). The growth inhibition of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis by TET revealed that the antimicrobial activity was significantly reduced after treatment with the laccase-HBT system. 16 transformation products of TET were identified by UPLC-MS-TOF during the laccase-HBT oxidation process. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that LeLac12 could completely mineralize ring-cleavage products. LeLac12 completely catalyzed 50 mg/L TET within 4 h by adding AG (200 mg/L), while the degradation of AG was above 96% even in the co-contamination system. Proteomic analysis revealed that central carbon metabolism, energy metabolism, and DNA replication/repair were affected by TET treatment and the latter system could contribute to the formation of multidrug-resistant strains. The results demonstrate that LeLac12 is an efficient and environmentally method for the removal of antibiotics and dyes in the complex polluted wastewater.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140803.

Abstract
The deteriorating environmental conditions due to increasing emerging recalcitrant pollutants raised a severe concern for its remediation. In this study, we have reported antibiotic degradation using free and immobilized HRP. The functionalized cellulose support was utilized for efficient immobilization of HRP. Approximately 13.32 ± 0.52 mg/g enzyme loading was achieved with >99% immobilization efficiency. The higher percentage of immobilization is attributed to the higher surface area and carboxylic groups on the support. The kinetic parameter of immobilized enzymes was Km = 2.99 mM/L for CNF-CA@HRP, which is 3.5-fold more than the Michaelis constant (Km = 0.84794 mM/L) for free HRP. The Vmax of CNF-CA@HRP bioconjugate was 2.36072 mM/min and 0.558254 mM/min for free HRP. The highest degradation of 50, 54.3, and 97% were achieved with enzymatic, sonolysis, and sono-enzymatic with CNF-CA@HRP bioconjugate, respectively. The reaction kinetics analysis revealed that applying ultrasound with an enzymatic process could enhance the reaction rate by 2.7-8.4 times compared to the conventional enzymatic process. Also, ultrasound changes the reaction from diffusion mode to the kinetic regime with a more oriented and fruitful collision between the molecules. The thermodynamic analysis suggested that the system was endothermic and spontaneous. While LC-MS analysis and OTC's degradation mechanism suggest, it mainly involves hydroxylation, secondary alcohol oxidation, dehydration, and decarbonylation. Additionally, the toxicity test confirmed that the sono-enzymatic process helps toward achieving complete mineralization. Further, the reusability of bioconjugate shows that immobilized enzymes are more efficient than the free enzyme.

Abstract
Laccase from Trametes Versicolor was successfully immobilized on gelatin beads by a crosslinking reaction with glutaraldehyde. Immobilized laccases showed better stability towards pH and temperature than free laccases. Moreover, the immobilized laccases retained a good relative activity of 85 % after 20 days of storage at 4 °C. The degradation of tetracycline (TC) was studied with immobilized enzymes in both batch and fluidized bed reactors (FBR). The average degradation rate (1.59 mg h-1 Uenzymes-1) estimated over 24 h in the FBR was almost 5 times higher than in the stirred tank reactor. Maximum degradation rate achieved was 72 ± 1 % with a circulation flow rate of 80 mL min-1 and addition of air at a flowrate of 15 mL min-1. Study of the stability of the active beads under reaction conditions, shows that 45 % of the TC was degraded after 5 cycles of 24 h each. The toxicity of the TC solution before and after treatment was also investigated with microtox assays.

Abstract
Long-term exposure of antibiotics at low level leads to the accumulation of antibiotics in environmental media and organisms, inducing the formation of antibiotic resistance genes. Seawater is an important sink for many contaminants. Here, laccase from Aspergillus sp. And mediators that follow different oxidation mechanisms were combined to degrade tetracyclines (TCs) at environmentally relevant levels (ng·L-1-μg·L-1) in coastal seawater. The high salinity and alkaline of seawater changed the enzymatic structure of laccase, resulting in a reduced affinity of laccase to the substrate in seawater (Km of 0.0556 mmol L-1) than that in buffer (Km of 0.0181 mmol L-1). Although the stability and activity of the laccase decreased in seawater, laccase at a concentration of 200 U·L-1 with a laccase/syringaldehyde (SA) ratio of 1 U: 1 μmol could completely degrade TCs in seawater at initial concentrations of less than 2 μg L-1 in 2 h. Molecular docking simulation showed that the interaction between TCs and laccase mainly includes hydrogen bond interaction and hydrophobic interaction. TCs were degraded into small molecular products through a series of reactions: demethylation, deamination, deamidation, dehydration, hydroxylation, oxidation, and ring-opening. Prediction of the toxicity of intermediates showed that the majority of TCs can be degraded into low-toxic or non-toxic, small-molecule products within 1 h, indicating that the degradation process of TCs by a laccase-SA system has good ecological safety. The successful removal of TCs by the laccase-SA system demonstrates its potential for the elimination of pollutants in marine environment.

Abstract
Antibiotics in wastewater are a growing environmental concern. Increased prescription and consumption rates have resulted in higher antibiotic wastewater concentration. Conventional wastewater treatment methods are often ineffective at antibiotic removal. Given the environmental risk of antibiotics and associated antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs), finding methods of improving antibiotic removal from wastewater is of great importance. Phytoremediation of antibiotics in wastewater, facilitated through constructed wetlands, has been explored in a growing number of studies. To assess the removal efficiency and treatment mechanisms of plants and microorganisms within constructed wetlands for specific antibiotics of major antibiotic classes, the present review paper considered and evaluated data from the most recent published research on the topics of bench scale hydroponic, lab and pilot scale constructed wetland, and full scale constructed wetland antibiotic remediation. Additionally, microbial and enzymatic antibiotic degradation, antibiotic-ARG correlation, and plant effect on ARGs were considered. It is concluded from the present review that plants readily uptake sulfonamide, macrolide, tetracycline, and fluoroquinolone antibiotics and that constructed wetlands are an effective applied phytoremediation strategy for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater through the mechanisms of microbial biodegradation, root sorption, plant uptake, translocation, and metabolization. More research is needed to better understand the effect of plants on microbial community and ARGs. This paper serves as a synthesis of information that will help guide future research and applied use of constructed wetlands in the field antibiotic phytoremediation and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in metropolitan cities and rise in industrialization have resulted in the assimilation of hazardous pollutants into the ecosystems. Different physical, chemical and biological techniques have been employed to remove these toxins from water bodies. Several bioprocess applications using microbes and their enzymes are utilized to achieve the goal. Biocatalysts, such as laccases, are employed explicitly to deplete a variety of organic pollutants. However, the degradation of contaminants using biocatalysts has many disadvantages concerning the stability and activity of the enzyme. Hence, they are immobilized on different supports to improve the enzyme kinetics and recyclability. Furthermore, standard wastewater treatment methods are not effective in eliminating all the contaminants. As a result, membrane separation technologies have emerged to overcome the limitations of traditional wastewater treatment methods. Moreover, enzymes immobilized onto these membranes have generated new avenues in wastewater purification technology. This review provides the latest information on laccases from diverse sources, their molecular framework and their mode of action. This report also gives information about various immobilization techniques and the application of membrane bioreactors to eliminate and biotransform hazardous contaminants. In a nutshell, laccases appear to be the most promising biocatalysts for green and cost-efficient wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
The worldwide access to pharmaceuticals and their continuous release into the environment have raised a serious global concern. Pharmaceuticals remain active even at low concentrations, therefore their occurrence in waterbodies may lead to successive deterioration of water quality with adverse impacts on the ecosystem and human health. To address this challenge, there is currently an evolving trend toward the search for effective methods to ensure efficient purification of both drinking water and wastewater. Biocatalytic transformation of pharmaceuticals using oxidoreductase enzymes, such as peroxidase and laccase, is a promising environmentally friendly solution for water treatment, where fungal species have been used as preferred producers due to their ligninolytic enzymatic systems. Enzyme-catalyzed degradation can transform micropollutants into more bioavailable or even innocuous products. Enzyme immobilization on a carrier generally increases its stability and catalytic performance, allowing its reuse, being a promising approach to ensure applicability to an industrial scale process. Moreover, coupling biocatalytic processes to other treatment technologies have been revealed to be an effective approach to achieve the complete removal of pharmaceuticals. This review updates the state-of-the-art of the application of oxidoreductases enzymes, namely laccase, to degrade pharmaceuticals from spiked water and real wastewater. Moreover, the advances concerning the techniques used for enzyme immobilization, the operation in bioreactors, the use of redox mediators, the application of hybrid techniques, as well as the discussion of transformation mechanisms and ending toxicity, are addressed.

Abstract
In this work, the laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized in highly porous silica monoliths (0.6-cm diameter, 0.5-cm length). These monoliths feature a unique homogeneous network of interconnected macropores (20 μm) with mesopores (20 nm) in the skeleton and a high specific surface area (330 m2/g). The enzymatic monoliths were applied to degrade tetracycline (TC) in model aqueous solutions (20 ppm). For this purpose, a tubular flow-through reactor (FTR) configuration with recycling was built. The TC degradation was improved with oxygen saturation, presence of degradation products, and recirculation rate. The TC depletion reaches 50% in the FTR and 90% in a stirred tank reactor (CSTR) using crushed monoliths. These results indicate the importance of maintaining a high co-substrate concentration near active sites. A model coupling mass transfers with a Michaelis-Menten kinetics was applied to simulate the TC degradation in real wastewaters at actual TC concentration (2.8 10-4 ppm). Simulation results show that industrial scale FTR reactor should be suitable to degrade 90% of TC in 5 h at a flow rate of 1 mL/min in a single passage flow configuration. Nevertheless, the process could certainly be further optimized in terms of laccase activity, oxygen supply near active sites, and contact time.

[PMID: 36079982 PMCID: PMC9457853 DOI: 10.3390/nano12172945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the growth of extended tri-s-triazine units (melem units) on g-C3N4 (CN) by hydrothermal treatment and its effect on the photodegradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) is investigated. The CN-180-x and CN-200-6 samples were prepared using different hydrolysis times and temperatures, and they were characterized by multiple physicochemical techniques. In addition, their photodegradation performance was evaluated under visible light irradiation. Compared to the CN, CN-180-6 possesses remarkable photocatalytic degradation efficiency at 97.17% towards TC removal in an aqueous solution. The high visible-light-induced photo-reactivity of CN-180-6 directly correlates to charge transfer efficiency, numerous structural defects with a high specific surface area (75.0 m2 g-1), and sufficient O-functional groups over g-C3N4. However, hydrothermal treatment at a higher temperature or during a longer time additionally induces the growth of extended melem units on the surface of g-C3N4, resulting in the inhibition of the charge transfer. In addition, the superoxide radical is proven to be generated from photoexcited reaction and plays a key role in the TC degradation.

Abstract
Aquaculture wastewater contained a high remnant of oxytetracycline (OTC) and nitrate. In this study, OTC co-metabolized with denitrification/desulfurization was investigated in terms of kinetic analysis, pathway, microbial communities and produces analysis in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) mediated system. Long-term acclimatization with sulfate (300 mg-S/L) could markedly accelerate the removed rate of OTC from 0.9 to 1.4 mg/g-SS/d, with the kinetic constants increasing from 0.2760 to 0.5232 d-1, mainly via enzymes including adenosine-5'-phos-phosulfate reductase and cytochrome P450, and non-enzymatic process related to intermediates (adenosine-5'-phos-phosulfate and S0). Furthermore, OTC was likely detoxified by SRB enriched sludge mainly via hydrolysis, dehydration, oxidation and reduction. The denitrification process would postpone the OTC degradation via outcompeting electron donors with the desulfurization process. Redundancy analysis suggested that sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (Acidithiobacillus, Ochrobactrum) were highly related to OTC degradation processes. This study provides deep insight and a new opportunity for the treatment of aquaculture wastewater containing OTC, sulfate and nitrate by SRB sludge.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) and Mn(II) is a common antibiotic and metal ion respectively. Nevertheless, literatures involving in the effects of Mn(II) on TC transformation are still insufficient. In this study, the kinetic experiment, spectral analysis, complexation experiment and electrochemical analysis, theoretical calculation and products detection were carried out to probe into oxidation and photolysis of TC with Mn(II). Mn(II) greatly accelerated TC oxidation, preferably tending to complex with TC at O10 - O12 or O2 - O3 site. There were a TC-Mn(II)/TC-Mn(III) redox couple and electron transfer process. Conversely, Mn(II) inhibited photolysis of TC. The photolysis of excited TC could compete with energy dissipation reactions. The electron transfer and complexation reaction easily made excited TC energy transfer, thus slowing down photolysis process. During the TC transformation, the intensity of functional groups was significantly decreased. Simultaneously, the degradation pathways mainly included eight reactions. It is a very interesting and probably overlooked phenomenon, which identifies new transformation of TC with Mn(II). This study helps to further understand fate and environmental behavior of antibiotics and metal ion.

Abstract
The release of tetracyclines (TCs) in the environment is of significant concern because the residual antibiotics may promote resistance in pathogenic microorganisms, and the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes poses a potential threat to ecosystems. Microbial biodegradation plays an important role in removing TCs in both natural and artificial systems. After long-term acclimation, microorganisms that can tolerate and degrade TCs are retained to achieve efficient removal of TCs under the optimum conditions (e.g. optimal operational parameters and moderate concentrations of TCs). To date, cultivation-based techniques have been used to isolate bacteria or fungi with potential degradation ability. Moreover, the biodegradation mechanism of TCs can be unveiled with the development of chemical analysis (e.g. UPLC-Q-TOF mass spectrometer) and molecular biology techniques (e.g. 16S rRNA gene sequencing, multi-omics sequencing, and whole genome sequencing). In this review, we made an overview of the biodegradation of TCs in different systems, refined functional microbial communities and pure isolates relevant to TCs biodegradation, and summarized the biodegradation products, pathways, and degradation genes of TCs. In addition, ecological risks of TCs biodegradation were considered from the perspectives of metabolic products toxicity and resistance genes. Overall, this article aimed to outline the research progress of TCs biodegradation and propose future research prospects.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical products (PPs) are considered as emerging micropollutans in wastewaters, river and seawaters, and sediments. The biodegradation of PPs, such as ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin, sulfamethoxazole, and tetracycline by enzymes in aqueous solution was investigated. Laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized on silica monoliths with hierarchical meso-/macropores. Different methods of enzyme immobilization were experienced. The most efficient process was the enzyme covalent bonding through glutaraldehyde coupling on amino-grafted silica monoliths. Silica monoliths with different macropore and mesopore diameters were studied. The best support was the monolith featuring the largest macropore diameter (20 µm) leading to the highest permeability and the lowest pressure drop and the largest mesopore diameter (20 nm) ensuring high enzyme accessibility. The optimized enzymatic reactor (150 mg) was used for the degradation of a PP mixture (20 ppm each in 30 ml) in a continuous recycling configuration at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The PP elimination efficiency after 24 h was as high as 100% for amoxicillin, 60% for sulfamethoxazole, 55% for tetracycline, and 30% for ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
Doxycycline (DC) is a second generation tetracycline antibiotic and its occurrence in the aquatic environment due to the discharge of municipal and agricultural wastes has called for technologies to effectively remove DC from water. The objective of the study was to characterize the synergistic benefits of adsorption and biotransformation in removing DC from water using rice straw particles (RSPs) covered with DC degrading bacteria, Brevundimonas naejangsanensis strain DD1. First, optimal experimental conditions were identified for individual processes, i.e., hydrolysis, adsorption, and biotransformation, in terms of their performance of removing DC from water. Then, synergistic effects between adsorption and biotransformation were demonstrated by adding DD1-covered RSPs (DD1-RSPs) to DC-containing solution. Results suggest that DC was quickly adsorbed onto RSPs and the adsorbed DC was subsequently biotransformed by the DD1 cells on RSPs. The adsorption of DC to DD1-RSPs can be well described using the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm. The DD1 cells on RSPs converted DC to several biotransformation products through a series of demethylation, dehydration, decarbonylation, and deamination. This study demonstrated that adsorption and biotransformation could work synergistically to remove DC from water.

Abstract
Tetracycline antibiotics are used worldwide in human and veterinary medicine. On the basis of low metabolization and through organic fertilizers, tetracyclines enter the environment in a biologically active form. This can have toxic effects on microbial communities and promote the selection of resistant strains. The use of fungi could be a promising approach to deactivate tetracyclines by degradation or derivatization as a result of their particular enzyme endowment. Here, we highlight the current analytical and biotechnological challenges associated with the bioconversion of tetracyclines by fungi and propose research approaches to advance the technology for wastewater and manure treatment.

Abstract
The discharge of an alarming number of recalcitrant pollutants from various industrial activities presents a serious threat to environmental sustainability and ecological integrity. Bioremediation has gained immense interest around the world due to its environmentally friendly and cost-effective nature. In contrast to physical and chemical methods, the use of microbial enzymes, particularly immobilized biocatalysts, has been demonstrated as a versatile approach for the sustainable mitigation of environmental pollution. Considerable attention is now devoted to developing novel enzyme engineering approaches and state-of-the-art bioreactor design for ameliorating the overall bio-catalysis and biodegradation performance of enzymes. This review discusses the contemporary and state of the art technical and scientific progress regarding applying oxidoreductase enzyme-based biocatalytic systems to remediate a vast number of pharmaceutically active compounds from water and wastewater bodies. A comprehensive insight into enzyme immobilization, the role of mediators, bioreactors designing, and transformation products of pharmaceuticals and their associated toxicity is provided. Additional studies are necessary to elucidate enzymatic degradation mechanisms, monitor the toxicity levels of the resulting degraded metabolites and optimize the entire bio-treatment strategy for technical and economical affordability.

Abstract
AbstractTetracycline pollution is a growing global threat to aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity due to its unprecedented use in aquaculture, livestock, and human disease prevention. The influx of tetracycline may annihilate the microbial ecology structure in the environment and pose a severe threat to humans by disturbing the food chain. Although significant research data are available in the literature on various aspects of tetracycline, including detection techniques, degradation mechanisms, degradation products, and policy statements to curtail the issue, there is a scarcity of a report to compile the recent data in the literature for better analysis and comparison by the policymakers. To achieve this paucity in knowledge, the current study aims at collecting data on the available degradation strategies, mechanisms involved in biodegradable and non-biodegradable routes, the main factor affecting degradation strategies, compile novel detection techniques of tetracycline antibiotics in the environment, discuss antibiotic resistance genes and their potential role in degradation. Finally, limitations in the current bioremediation techniques and the future prospects are discussed with pointers for the decision-makers for a safer environment.

Abstract
In this paper, spherical-shaped pure phase djurleite (Cu31S16) and roxbyite (Cu7S4) nanoparticles were prepared by a solvothermal decomposition of copper(II) dithiocarbamate complex in dodecanthiol (DDT). The reaction temperature was used to control the phases of the samples, which were represented as Cu31S16 (120 °C), Cu31S16 (150 °C), Cu7S4 (220 °C), and Cu7S4 (250 °C) and were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), and absorption spectroscopy. The samples were used as photocatalysts for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. The results of the study showed that Cu7S4 (250 °C) exhibited the best activity in the reaction system with the TC degradation rate of up to 99% within 120 min of light exposure, while the Cu31S16 (120 °C) system was only 46.5% at the same reaction condition. In general, roxbyite Cu7S4 (250 °C) could be considered as a potential catalyst for the degradation of TC in solution.

Abstract
Catalytic membranes can simultaneously realize physical separation and chemical oxidation in one integrated system, which is the frontier technology for effective removal of organic containments in wastewater treatment. The catalytic membrane coupled with advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) not only significantly enhances the pollutant removal efficiency but also inhibits the fouling of the membrane via self-cleaning. In this review, the preparation approaches of catalytic membranes including blending, surface coating, and bottom-up synthesis are comprehensively summarized. The different integrated catalytic membrane systems coupled with photocatalysis, Fenton oxidation, persulfate activations, ozonation and electrocatalytic oxidation are discussed in terms of mechanisms and performance. Besides, the principles, influencing factors, advantages and issues of the different catalytic membrane/oxidation systems are outlined comparatively. Finally, the future challenges, and research directions are suggested, which is conducive to the design and development of catalytic membrane-oxidation systems for practical remediation of organic containing wastewater.

Abstract
Low-expression levels remain a challenge in the quest to use the small laccase (rSLAC) as a viable catalyst. In this study, a recombinant Pichia pastoris strain (rSLAC-GAP-AOX) producing rSLAC under both AOX and GAP promoters (located in two different plasmids) was generated and cultivated in the presence of methanol and mixed feed (methanol:glycerol). Induction with methanol resulted in a maximum laccase activity of 1200 U/L for rSLAC-GAP-AOX which was approximately 2.4-fold higher than rSLAC-AOX and 5.1-fold higher than rSLAC-GAP. The addition of methanol:glycerol in a stoichiometric ratio of 9:1 consistently improved biomass and led to a 1.5-fold increase in rSLAC production as compared to induction with methanol alone. The rSLAC removed 95% of 5 mg/L ciprofloxacin (CIP) and 99% of 100 mg/L tetracycline (TC) in the presence of a mediator. Removal of TC resulted in complete elimination of antibacterial activity while up to 48% reduction in antibacterial activity was observed when CIP was removed. Overall, the present study highlights the effectiveness of a double promoter system in enhancing SLAC production.

Abstract
The fate of doxycycline (DC), a second generation tetracycline antibiotic, in the environment has drawn increasing attention in recent years due to its wide usage. Little is known about the biodegradability of DC in the environment. The objective of this study was to characterize the biotransformation of DC by pure bacterial strains with respect to reaction kinetics under different environmental conditions and biotransformation products. Two bacterial strains, Brevundimonas naejangsanensis DD1 and Sphingobacterium mizutaii DD2, were isolated from chicken litter and characterized for their biotransformation capability of DC. Results show both strains rely on cometabolism to biotransform DC with tryptone as primary growth substrate. DD2 had higher biotransformation kinetics than DD1. The two strains prefer similar pHs (7 and 8) and temperature (30 °C), however, they exhibited opposite responses to increasing background tryptone concentration. While hydrolysis converted DC to its isomer or epimer, the two bacterial strains converted DC to various biotransformation products through a series of demethylation, dehydration, decarbonylation and deamination. Findings from the study can be used to better predict the fate of DC in the environment.

A novel process for the covalent immobilization of laccases on silica gel and its application for the elimination of pharmaceutical micropollutants. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:25579-25593. [PMID: 33459981 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-12394-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
In the present work, pharmaceutical micropollutant degradation by laccase immobilized on silica through an innovative process is proposed. The influence of different parameters on the immobilization conditions was evaluated by a 23 full factorial design, and parameters leading to the highest activity were identified. Under these conditions, laccase activity reached 14 ± 2 U g-1 of silica with a protein immobilization yield of 35%. The biocatalyst characterization did not show any change in pH and thermal stabilities but enhanced the long-term storage of laccases. Immobilized T. versicolor laccases were then tested to remove four pharmaceutical micropollutants (amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, carbamazepine, and sulfamethoxazole) in the presence of redox mediators (syringaldehyde, p-coumaric acid, and ABTS). High removal yields (50-100% according to the pollutant) were obtained within 4 h of treatment due to the synergistic effect of laccase-mediator biotransformation and adsorption on the support. Overall, the pharmaceuticals' removal efficiency was highly influenced by their physicochemical properties; however, the presence of redox mediators impacted not only the oxidation mechanism but also the interactions between the biocatalyst and micropollutants. Finally, the reusability of the biocatalyst was proved during 7 degradation cycles.

Abstract
A tetracycline degrading bacterial strains was characterized from the municipal sludge and detected its ability to produce manganese peroxidase. The molecular weight of manganese peroxidase was determined as 46 kDa after Biogel P-100 gel filtration column chromatography purification. Maximum tetracycline degradation was observed with the manganese peroxidase from the strain Bacillus velezensis Al-Dhabi 140 and the optimum degradation process was studied. Optimization revealed the maximum removal efficacy was obtained as 87 mg/L at initial tetracycline concentration 143.75 mg/L, pH 6.94 and 8.04% inoculum. Consequently, fibrous bed reactor containing the culture of B. velezensis Al-Dhabi 140 in fibrous matrix was formed to transform tetracycline in synthetic wastewater. The transformed product of tetracycline from the fibrous bed reactor was evident by the activity of ligninolytic enzymes produced by B. velezensis Al-Dhabi 140 in reactor. The decreased level of antibacterial potency was obtained after 10 days. The zone of inhibition was 24 ± 1 mm after 1 day and it decreased as 9 ± 1 mm after 10 days. Based on the findings, fibrous bed B. velezensis Al-Dhabi 140 could be an efficient strain for tetracycline removal from artificial wastewater, even from natural wastewater.

Abstract
Enzyme catalyzed coupling with redox mediators are considered as great interesting and viable technologies to transform antibiotics. This work demonstrated the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was effective in transforming sulfadiazine (SDZ) transformation coupled with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) at varying conditions. The removal of SDZ was independent of Na+ and its ionic strength, but Ca2+ could enhance transformation efficiency by increasing the enzyme activity of HRP. The presence of humic acid (HA) and polystyrene (PS) microplastics showed inhibition on the transformation of SDZ, and the transformation rate constants (k) decreased with the concentration of HA and PS particles increased. These primarily attributed to covalent coupling and electrostatic interaction between SDZ and HA, SDZ and PS, respectively, which reduced the concentration of free SDZ in the reaction solution. The presence of cation recovered the inhibition of SDZ transformation by HA and PS particles, which ascribed to compete between cation and SDZ. The divalent cations (Ca2+) showed more substantial competitiveness than mono (Na+) due to more carried charge. Eight possible transformation products were identified, and potential SDZ transformation pathways were proposed, which include δ-cleavage, γ-cleavage, carbonylation, hydroxylation, SO2 extrusion and SO3 extrusion. In addition, HA and PS particles couldn't affect the transformation pathways of SDZ. These findings provide novel understandings of the transformation and the fate of antibiotics in the natural environment by HRP coupled with redox mediators.

Abstract
The increasingly frequent detection of resistant organic micropollutants in waters calls for better treatment of these molecules that are recognized to be dangerous for human health and the environment. As an alternative to conventional adsorbent material such as activated carbon, silica-clay nanocomposites were synthesized for the removal of pharmaceuticals in contaminated water. Their efficiency with respect to carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, doxycycline, and sulfamethoxazole was assessed in model water and real groundwater spiked with the five contaminants. Results showed that the efficacy of contaminant removal depends on the chemical properties of the micropollutants. Among the adsorbents tested, the nanocomposite made of 95% clay and 5% SiO2 NPs was the most efficient and was easily recovered from solution after treatment compared with pure clay, for example. The composite is thus a good candidate in terms of operating costs and environmental sustainability for the removal of organic contaminants.

Abstract
Biocatalytic membrane takes advantages of reaction-separation integration as well as enzyme immobilization, which has attracted increasing attentions in online detection and biomanufacturing. However, the high preparation cost, inferior comprehensive performance, and low stability limit its applications. Thus, besides enzyme immobilization, more efforts should be made in biocatalytic membrane configuration design for a specific application to enhance the synergistic effect of reaction and separation and improve its operating stability. This review summarized the recent progress on biocatalytic membrane preparation, discussed different membrane configurations for various applications, finally proposed several challenges and possible solutions, which provided directions and guides for the development and industrialization of biocatalytic membrane.

Abstract
The threat of antibiotics in the environment causing antibiotics resistance is a global health concern. Enzymes catalyze pollutant transformations, and how commercially available enzymes like horseradish peroxidase (HRP), with or without a redox mediator, may be used to degrade antibiotics in water treatment is of great interest. This work demonstrates tetracycline transformation by HRP, and how it is significantly enhanced by free radicals created from the mediator 2,2-Azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). Water temperature and pH strongly influence the tetracycline removal rate due to their correlation with the enzyme activity, abundance and stability of ABTS•+. Four transformation products were identified in the pure HRP system using a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer system. Addition of 25 μmol L-1 ABTS not only accelerated the degradation of tetracycline, but also expanded the range of degradation pathways. Potential tetracycline transformation pathways are proposed based on these observations, which include a range of mechanisms such as hydroxylation, demethylation, dehydration, decarbonylation and secondary alcohol oxidation. Despite of decreased efficiency, the HRP/ABTS system was able to degrade tetracycline in a domestic wastewater treatment plant effluent matrix, which demonstrates the potential of the system to be utilized in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a type of biofilm with good sedimentation and density, high biomass, high organic load tolerance and toxicity resistance. Oxytetracycline (OTC) is an antibiotic widely used in livestock and aquaculture, and its low absorption and high residue bring many risks and harms to the ecological environment. In this study, an OTC-degrading strain TJ3 was isolated from AGS and identified as Pandoraea sp. The biodegradation characteristics of OTC by strain TJ3 under different environmental conditions were also investigated. The results showed that the optimal initial pH value and temperature for the culture strain were 6.0 and 30 °C, respectively. At an inoculation dose of 6% (v/v), the removal rate of OTC by strain TJ3 was remarkable (59.4%). Furthermore, when the sodium acetate was present as an additional substrate, the biomass and the OTC removal rate of strain TJ3 were improved. The biodegradability of strain TJ3 to OTC was proved by LC-QTOF/MS, and two possible biotransformation products, i.e. m/z 416 and 219, were identified. In the bioaugmentation experiments of AGS by strain TJ3, the average OTC removal rate was 92.89% after the stable operation of bioreactor. The chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) and total phosphorus (TP) were efficiently removed. The microbial community structure had significantly changed at the genus level, and the relative abundance of Zoogloea, Pandoraea, Cloacibacterium and Desulfovibrio increased evidently. These results implied that the OTC removal performance and the structural stability of AGS were improved. In this study, Pandoraea sp. TJ3 was applied to removal OTC for the first time, and results showed that Pandoraea sp. TJ3 may be a new auxiliary bacterial resource for the biodegradation of OTC and a potential candidate in the treatment of antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
This work demonstrates a facile route to assemble MIL-53(Fe) by solvothermal method. Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) coupling with photocatalysis based on MIL-53(Fe) were investigated under visible light. The catalytic effect of MIL-53(Fe) for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) was systematically studied, as well as the reusability of the catalyst and the effect of operating parameters. The results indicated that 99.7 % of TC (300 mg/L) could be degraded within 80 min in the SR-AOPs coupling with photocatalysis processes, as compared to 71.4 % for the SR-AOPs and only 17.1 % for the photocatalysis. The trapping experiments and electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) showed the photogenerated electrons of MIL-53(Fe) under visible light irritation were trapped by persulfate to generated sulfate radicals which effectively suppressed the recombination of photogenerated carriers. And also, the SO4- could be formed by the conversion between Fe (Ⅲ) and Fe (Ⅱ) in MIL-53(Fe). Moreover, OH and O2- generated by the reaction increased significantly due to the increase of SO4- which generated more OH and reduced photogenerated carrier recombination respectively. Thus, the degradation efficiency of TC-HCl was improved. Furthermore, the degradation pathway for TC-HCl was proposed using the theoretical calculations and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in livestock and poultry industries, which results in large quantities of antibiotic residues in manure that influences subsequent treatments. In this study, an Escherichia coli strain was engineered to display erythromycin esterase on its cell surface. The engineered strain (E. coli ereA) efficiently degraded erythromycin by opening the macrocyclic 14-membered lactone ring in solution. Erythromycin (50 mg/L) was completely degraded in a solution by E. coli ereA (1 × 109 CFU/mL) within 24 h. E. coli ereA retained over 86.7 % of the initial enzyme activity after 40 days of storage at 25 °C, and 78.5 % of the initial activity after seven repeated batch reactions in solution at 25 °C. Mice were fed with E. coli ereA and real-time quantitative PCR data showed that E. coli ereA colonized in the mice large intestine. The mice group fed E. coli ereA exhibited 83.13 % decrease in erythromycin levels in their feces compared with the mice group not fed E. coli ereA. E. coli ereA eliminated antibiotics from the source preventing its release into the environment. The surface-engineered strain therefore is an effective alternative agent for treating recalcitrant antibiotics, and has the potential to be applied in livestock and poultry industries.

Abstract
Laccase is a versatile multicopper oxidase that holds great promise for many biotechnological applications. For such applications, it is essential to explore good biocatalytic systems for high activity and recyclability. The feasibility of membrane enclosed enzymatic catalysis (MEEC) for enzyme recycling with laccase was evaluated. The dialysis membrane enclosed laccase catalysis (DMELC) was tested for the conversion of the non-phenolic model substrate 2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). Trametes versicolor laccase was found to be completely retained by the dialysis membrane during the process. The ABTS total conversion after DMELC reached the same values as the batch reaction of the enzyme in solution. The efficiency of DMELC conversion of ABTS under different process conditions including shaking speed, temperature, ABTS concentration and pH was investigated. The repetitive dialysis minimally affected the activity and the protein content of the enclosed laccase. DMELC retained 70.3 ± 0.8% of its initial conversion after 5 cycles. The usefulness of MEEC extends to other enzymes with the benefit of superior activity of an enzyme in solution and the recyclability which is normally only obtained with immobilized enzymes.![]()

Abstract
A native laccase (Lac-Q) with robust cold-adapted and thermostable characteristics from the white-rot fungus Pycnoporus sp. SYBC-L10 was purified, characterized, and used in antibiotic treatments. Degradation experiments revealed that Lac-Q at 10.0 U mL-1 coupled with 1.0 mmol L-1 ABTS could degrade 100% of the tetracycline or oxytetracycline (50 mg L-1) within 5 min with a static incubation at 0 °C (pH 6.0). The presence of the Mn2+ ion inhibited the removal rate of tetracycline and oxytetracycline by the Lac-Q-ABTS system, and the presence of Al3+, Cu2+, and Fe3+ accelerated the removal rate of tetracycline and oxytetracycline by the Lac-Q-ABTS system. Furthermore, the growth inhibition of Bacillus altitudinis SYBC hb4 and E. coli by tetracycline antibiotics revealed that the antimicrobial activity was significantly reduced after treatment with the Lac-Q-ABTS system. Finally, seven transformation products of oxytetracycline (namely TP 445, TP 431, TP 413, TP 399, TP 381, TP 367, and TP 351) were identified during the Lac-Q-mediated oxidation process by using UPLC-MS/MS. A possible degradation pathway including deamination, demethylation, and dehydration was proposed. These results suggest that the Lac-Q-ABTS system shows a great potential for the treatment of antibiotic wastewater containing different metal ions at various temperatures.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 691:1190-1211. [PMID: 31466201 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.07.224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 93] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2019] [Revised: 07/12/2019] [Accepted: 07/14/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Recently, the increasing concentration and persistent appearance of antibiotics traces in the water streams are considered an issue of high concern. In this context, an array of antibiotics has been categorized as pollutants of emerging concern due to their complex and highly stable bioactivity, indiscriminate usage with ultimate release into water bodies, and notable persistence in environmental matrices. Moreover, antibiotics traces containing household sewage/drain waste and pharmaceutical wastewater effluents contain a range of bioactive/toxic organic compounds, inorganic salts, pharmaceutically-active ingredients, or a mixture of all, which possesses negative influences ranging from ecological pollution to damage biodiversity. Moreover, their uncontrolled and undesirable bioaccumulation also poses a potential threat to target and non-target organisms in the environment. Aiming to tackle this issue effectively, various detection, quantification, degradation, and redefining "removal" processes have been proposed and investigated based on physical, chemical, and biological strategies. Though both useful and side effects of antibiotics on humans and animals are usually investigated thoroughly following safety and toxicity measures, however, their direct or indirect environmental impacts are not well reviewed yet. Owing to the considerable research gap, the environmental perfectives of antibiotics traces and their effects on target and non-target populations have now become the topic of research interest. Based on literature evidence, over the past several years, numerous individual studies have been performed and published covering various aspects of antibiotics. However, a comprehensive compilation on enzyme-based degradation of antibiotics is still lacking and requires careful consideration. Hence, this review summarizes up-to-date literature on enzymes as biocatalytic systems, explicitly, free as well as immobilized forms and their effective exploitation for the degradation of various antibiotics traces and other pharmaceutically-active compounds present in the water bodies. It is further envisioned that the enzyme-based strategies, for antibiotics degradation or removal, discussed herein, will help readers for a better understanding of antibiotics persistence in the environment along with the associated risks and removal measures. In summary, the current research thrust presented in this review will additionally evoke researcher to engineer robust and sustainable processes to effectively remediate antibiotics-contaminated environmental matrices.

Abstract
The application and fate of antibiotics are closely related to human health and the ecological balance, which has gradually aroused the widespread global concerns. Long-term antibiotic residues can easily induce antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Although many studies have investigated the metabolic pathways of biosynthesis or degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC) and its influencing factors under laboratory or controlled conditions, the understanding of OTC degradation pathways and influencing factors in the environment is still poor. In the present study, the role of Pseudomonas (T4) in OTC biodegradation were investigated with different carbon sources, metal ions, substrate concentrations, temperatures, and pH values, as well as the temporal changes in the relative abundance of OTC ARGs. It was found that OTC could be degraded by T4 as a sole carbon source. Comparison with Cu2+, the addition of Fe3+ could significantly promote the growth of T4, and then increased the OTC degradation percentage to 65.3%. The initial concentration of OTC, temperature, and pH had significant impacts on OTC degradation. At the initial OTC concentration of 50 mg L-1, the percentage degradation of OTC by T4 could reach 81.0% at the presence of Fe3+, and at 40 °C and pH = 7. Common tetracycline ARGs were not found during the OTC degradation by T4 in the present study. The eight main putative OTC degradation byproducts were identified by ultra-high definition accurate-mass quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (QTOF/MS). Six different reaction types and seven possible degradation pathways were proposed, including enol-ketone conversion, hydroxylation, dehydration, deamination, demethylation and decarbonylation. Under optimal conditions, the OTC degradation percentages by T4 could reach to 88.2%, 91.6% and 92.0% in pond water, fish wastewater and industrial wastewater, respectively. These results demonstrate the high effectiveness of T4 at the presence of Fe3+ for the enhanced biodegradation of OTC in water environment, without resulting in the occurrence of ARGs. This has important implications for the removal of OTC from aquatic environments by the technology proposed from this study.

Abstract
The occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is recognized as one of the emerging issues in environmental chemistry. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals (and their metabolites) from domestic wastewaters. The treatability of pharmaceutical compounds in WWTPs varies considerably depending on the type of compound since their biodegradability can differ significantly. As a consequence, they may reach the aquatic environment, directly or by leaching of the sludge produced by these facilities. Currently, the technologies under research for the removal of pharmaceuticals, namely membrane technologies and advanced oxidation processes, have high operation costs related to energy and chemical consumption. When chemical reactions are involved, other aspects to consider include the formation of harmful reaction by-products and the management of the toxic sludge produced. Research is needed in order to develop economic and sustainable treatment processes, such as bioremediation and biosorption. The use of low-cost materials, such as biological matrices (e.g., algae and fungi), has advantages such as low capital investment, easy operation, low operation costs, and the non-formation of degradation by-products. An extensive review of existing research on this subject is presented.

Abstract
In this study, the hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCs) were synthesized and modified for laccase (Lac) immobilization, and the structural characteristics of HMCs materials were determined by FESEM, TEM and FTIR etc. The maximum loading of Lac on the HMCs materials could reach 835 mg/g, meanwhile, the immobilized Lac exhibited excellent thermo-stability, pH stability, storage stability and reusability. The antibiotics removal experiments indicated that the immobilized Lac possess efficient removal efficiency for both tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CPH) in the presence of redox mediator. The synergy of the adsorption by HMCs and the degradation by Lac could be the reasons for the high removal of antibiotics. Meanwhile, for investigating degradation mechanism, the degradation product analysis and molecular docking method had been introduced to this study. According to the degradation products, dehydroxylation and demethylation are major degradation reactions for TCH degradation, and the oxidation of the piperazinyl substituent and hydroxylation are the major degradation for CPH degradation. The docking results showed that some important residues played the key role in the degradation process. This study indicated that the immobilization of Lac on HMCs could be potentially applied in environmental remediation of antibiotics.

Abstract
This study systematically compares the performance of ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) based enzymatic membrane bioreactors (EMBRs) for the degradation of five micropollutants, namely atrazine, carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, diclofenac and oxybenzone to elucidate the impact of effective membrane retention of micropollutants on their degradation. Based on the permeate quality, NF-EMBR achieved 92-99.9% micropollutant removal (i.e., biodegradation + membrane retention), while the removal of these micropollutants by UF-EMBR varied from 20 to 85%. Mass balance analysis revealed that micropollutant degradation was improved by 15-30% in NF-EMBR as compared to UF-EMBR, which could be attributed to the prolonged contact time between laccase and micropollutants following their effective retention by the NF membrane. A small decline in permeate flux was observed during EMBR operation. However, the flux could be recovered by flushing the membrane with permeate.
