[PMID: 38971387 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.131072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
Immobilized laccases are widely used as green biocatalysts for bioremediation of phenolic pollutants and wastewater treatment. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show potential application for immobilization of laccase. Their unique adsorption properties provide a synergic effect of adsorption and biodegradation. This review focuses on bioremediation of wastewater pollutants using laccase-MOF composites, and summarizes the current knowledge and future perspective of their biodegradation and the enhancement strategies of enzyme immobilization. Mechanistic strategies of preparation of laccase-MOF composites were mainly investigated via physical adsorption, chemical binding, and de novo/co-precipitation approaches. The influence of architecture of MOFs on the efficiency of immobilization and bioremediation were discussed. Moreover, as sustainable technology, the integration of laccases and MOFs into wastewater treatment processes represents a promising approach to address the challenges posed by industrial pollution. The MOF-laccase composites can be promising and reliable alternative to conventional techniques for the treatment of wastewaters containing pharmaceuticals, dyes, and phenolic compounds. The detailed exploration of various immobilization techniques and the influence of MOF architecture on performance provides valuable insights for optimizing these composites, paving the way for future advancements in environmental biotechnology. The findings of this research have the potential to influence industrial wastewater treatment and promoting cleaner treatment processes and contributing to sustainability efforts.

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.

Abstract
With aggravated abiotic and biotic stresses from increasing climate change, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as versatile toolboxes for developing environmentally friendly agrotechnologies aligned with agricultural practices and safety. Herein, we have explored MOF-based agrotechnologies, focusing on their intrinsic properties, such as structural and catalytic characteristics. Briefly, MOFs possess a sponge-like porous structure that can be easily stimulated by the external environment, facilitating the controlled release of agrochemicals, thus enabling precise delivery of agrochemicals. Additionally, MOFs offer the ability to remove or degrade certain pollutants by capturing them within their pores, facilitating the development of MOF-based remediation technologies for agricultural environments. Furthermore, the metal-organic hybrid nature of MOFs grants them abundant catalytic activities, encompassing photocatalysis, enzyme-mimicking catalysis, and electrocatalysis, allowing for the integration of MOFs into degradation and sensing agrotechnologies. Finally, the future challenges that MOFs face in agrotechnologies were proposed to promote the development of sustainable agriculture practices.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:129963.

Abstract
Water pollution caused by bisphenol A (BPA) has become the world problem. Designing and preparing cost-effective and biodegradable sorbents for the effectively adsorptive removal of bisphenol A from wastewater is of immense significance. Herein, a natural polysaccharide (chitin) was used as raw materials to be grafted with styrene (GS), then crosslinked with α,α'-dichloro-p-xylene (DCX) to form the hyper-crosslinked polymer (labeled as CGS@DCX). The CGS@DCX showed high adsorptive affinity for bisphenol A, with adsorption capacity of 441 mg g-1. Various studies gave an insight into the adsorption process, demonstrating that the highly efficient adsorption of BPA by the CGS@DCX is mainly based on the π-π stacking, hydrogen-bond interaction, polar interaction and pore adsorption. Moreover, the CGS@DCX had high chemical stability, good reusability (9 cycles) and fast adsorption kinetics (10 min) for adsorption of BPA. This work provides a promising strategy for the design and synthesis of novel yet eco-friendly sorbents to solve environmental problems.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are widely used MOFs because of certain characteristics, but also because they can be prepared at room temperature using water as the unique solvent. However, these a priori sustainable conditions inevitably entail a huge and somehow unusable excess of linker. Here, we present the formation of ZIFs at room temperature in water, starting from mixtures with a linker/metal ratio of two, that is, coinciding with the stoichiometry found in the final MOFs, in the presence of amines. ZIF-8 can be prepared with triethylamine (TEA), giving a yield of Zn of 96.6%. Other bases, like NaOH, tetraethylammonium hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide, do not lead to ZIF-8 under the same conditions. The so-obtained ZIF-8 contains TEA inside its cavities, making it less porous than its conventionally prepared counterparts. Amine can be removed by mild thermal treatments (200-250 °C). Such thermal treatments induce the generation of g-C3N4-like species which could give added value to these materials as potential photocatalysts, increasing their affinity to CO2, as proved in this work. This methodology can be successfully extended to other amines, like N,N-dicyclohexylmethylamine, as well as to other prepared ZIFs, like Co-based ZIF-67, isostructural to ZIF-8.

Abstract
This research article presents the fabrication of NH2-terephthalic acid crosslinked chitosan-bentonite composite, which adopted a facile synthesis approach and offered efficient adsorption capacity for organic dyes. A novel hydrogel material named CB 5:1 demonstrated remarkable adsorption for anionic dyes (Congo red (CR) and brilliant blue (BB)) while showing a negligible affinity for cationic dyes. Adsorption isotherm studies revealed the adsorption capacity of 4950 mg/g and 2053 mg/g (per g of composite's dry weight) for CR and BB following the Langmuir adsorption model. Kinetics and thermodynamic studies were also conducted while the adsorption of anionic dyes in the presence of metal ions, cationic dyes, anionic dyes, and in simulated water remained unaffected. Laccase, an industrially important enzyme, was also immobilized on CB 5:1 to achieve enzyme stability and reusability, resulting in a staggering immobilization capacity (4782 mg/g) at pH 6.0. Laccase immobilized product was employed to perform dye degradation (> 90 % for CR and > 75 % for BB), and the reusability was tested. Overall, our crosslinked product proved appealing for removing high concentrations of anionic organic dyes from polluted water and could be envisaged for practical use.

Abstract
Co-immobilization of laccase and mediator 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) for wastewater treatment could simultaneously achieve the reusability of laccase and avoid secondary pollution caused by the toxic ABTS. Herein, Fe-induced mineralization was proposed to co-immobilize laccase and ABTS into a metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) within 30 min. Immobilized laccase (Lac@ZIF-8-Fe) prepared at a 1:1 mass ratio of Fe2+ to Zn2+ exhibited enhanced catalytic efficiency (2.6 times), thermal stability, acid tolerance, and reusability compared to free laccase. ABTS was then co-immobilized to form Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe (ABTS = 261.7 mg/g). Lac@ZIF-8-Fe exhibited significantly enhanced bisphenol A (BPA) removal performance over free laccase due to the local substrate enrichment effect and improved enzyme stability. Moreover, the Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe exhibited higher BPA removal efficiency than the free laccase+ABTS system, implying the presence of a proximity effect in Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe. In the successive malachite green (MG) removal, the MG degradation efficiency by Lac@ZIF-8-Fe was maintained at 96.6% at the fifth reuse with only an extra addition of 0.09 mM ABTS in each cycle. As for Lac+ABTS@ZIF-8-Fe, 58.5% of MG was degraded at the fifth cycle without an extra addition of ABTS. Taken together, this research has provided a novel strategy for the design of a co-immobilized laccase and ABTS system for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Laccases are natural catalysts with remarkable catalytic activity. However, their application is limited by their lack of stability. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a promising alternative for enzyme immobilization. Enzymes can be immobilized in MOFs via two approaches: postsynthetic immobilization and in situ immobilization. In postsynthetic immobilization, an enzyme is embedded after MOF formation by covalent interactions or adsorption. In contrast, in in situ immobilization, a MOF is formed in the presence of an enzyme. Additionally, MOFs have exhibited intrinsic enzyme-like activity. These materials, known as nanozymes when they have the ability to replace enzymes in certain catalytic processes, have multiple key advantages, such as low cost, easy preparation, and large surface areas. This review presents a general overview of the most recent advances in both enzyme@MOF biocatalysts and MOF-based nanozymes in different applications, with a focus on laccase, which is one of the most widely investigated enzymes with excellent industrial potential.

Abstract
Oxidoreductases are a wide class of enzymes that can catalyze biological oxidation and reduction reactions. Nowadays, oxidoreductases play a vital part in most bioenergetic metabolic pathways, which have important applications in biodegradation, bioremediation, environmental applications, as well as biosensors. However, free oxidoreductases are not stable and hard to be recycled. In addition, cofactors are needed in most oxidoreductases catalyze reactions, which are so expensive and unstable that it hinders their industrial applications. Enzyme immobilization is a feasible strategy that can overcome these problems. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential as support materials for immobilizing enzymes due to their unique properties, such as high surface-area-to-volume ratio, chemical stability, functional designability, and tunable pore size. This review discussed the application of MOFs and their composites as immobilized carriers of oxidoreductase, as well as the application of MOFs as catalysts and immobilized carriers in redox reactions in the perspective of the function of MOFs materials. The paper also focuses on the potential of MOF carrier-based oxidoreductase immobilization for designing an enzyme cascade reaction system.

Abstract
Addressing the critical issue of water pollution, this review article emphasizes the need to remove hazardous dyes and phenolic compounds from wastewater. These pollutants pose severe risks due to their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties. The study explores various techniques for the remediation of organic contaminants from wastewater, including an enzymatic approach. A significant challenge in enzymatic wastewater treatment is the loss of enzyme activity and difficulty in recovery post-treatment. To mitigate these issues, this review examines the strategy of immobilizing enzymes on newly developed nanostructured materials like graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These materials offer high surface areas, excellent porosity, and ample anchoring sites for effective enzyme immobilization. The review evaluates recent research on enzyme immobilization on these supports and their applications in biocatalytic nanoparticles. It also analyzes the impact of operational factors (e.g., time, pH, and temperature) on dye and phenolic compound removal from wastewater using these enzymes. Despite promising outcomes, this review acknowledges the challenges for large-scale implementation and offers recommendations for future research to tackle these obstacles. This review concludes by suggesting that enzyme immobilization on these emerging materials could present a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution to the escalating water pollution crisis.

Liang J, Liang K. Nanobiohybrids: Synthesis strategies and environmental applications from micropollutants sensing and removal to global warming mitigation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023:116317. [PMID: 37290626 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Micropollutants contamination and global warming are critical environmental issues that require urgent attention due to natural and anthropogenic activities posing serious threats to human health and ecosystems. However, traditional technologies (such as adsorption, precipitation, biodegradation, and membrane separation et al.) are facing challenges of low utilization efficiency of oxidants, poor selectivity, and complex in-situ monitoring operations. To address these technical bottlenecks, nanobiohybrids, synthesized by interfacing the nanomaterials and biosystems, have recently emerged as eco-friendly technologies. In this review, we summarize the synthesis approaches of nanobiohybrids and their utilization as emerging environmental technologies for addressing environmental problems. Studies demonstrate that enzymes, cells, and living plants can be integrated with a wide range of nanomaterials including reticular frameworks, semiconductor nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes. Moreover, nanobiohybrids demonstrate excellent performance for micropollutant removal, carbon dioxide conversion, and sensing of toxic metal ions and organic micropollutants. Therefore, nanobiohybrids are expected to be environmental friendly, efficient, and cost-effective techniques for addressing environmental micropollutants issues and mitigating global warming, benefiting both humans and ecosystems alike.

Abstract
Laccase from Aspergillus sp. (LC) was immobilized on functionalized silica hierarchical (microporous-macroporous) MFI zeolite (ZMFI). The obtained immobilized biocatalyst (LC#ZMFI) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, solid-state NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirming the chemical anchoring of the enzyme to the zeolitic support. The optimal pH, kinetic parameters (KM and Vmax), specific activity, as well as both storage and operational stability of LC#ZMFI were determined. The LC#ZMFI KM and Vmax values amount to 10.3 µM and 0.74 µmol·mg-1 min-1, respectively. The dependence of specific activity on the pH for free and immobilized LC was investigated in the pH range of 2-7, The highest specific activity was obtained at pH = 3 for both free LC and LC#ZMFI. LC#ZMFI retained up to 50 % and 30 % of its original activity after storage of 21 and 30 days, respectively. Immobilization of laccase on hierarchical silica MFI zeolite allows to carry out the reaction under acidic pH values without affecting the support structure.

Abstract
Laccase activity is influenced by copper (Cu) as an inducer. In this study, laccase was immobilized on Cu and Cu-magnetic (Cu/Fe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) to improve enzyme stability and potential applications. The Cu/Fe2O4 NPs functionally activated by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and glutaraldehyde exhibited an immobilization yield and relative activity (RA) of 93.1 and 140%, respectively. Under optimized conditions, Cu/Fe2O4 NPs showed high loading of laccase up to 285 mg/g of support and maximum RA of 140% at a pH 5.0 after 24 h of incubation (4°C). Immobilized laccase, as Cu/Fe2O4-laccase, had a higher optimum pH (4.0) and temperature (45°C) than those of a free enzyme. The pH and temperature profiles were significantly improved through immobilization. Cu/Fe2O4-laccase exhibited 25-fold higher thermal stability at 65°C and retained residual activity of 91.8% after 10 cycles of reuse. The degradation of bisphenols was 3.9-fold higher with Cu/Fe2O4-laccase than that with the free enzyme. To the best of our knowledge, Rhus vernicifera laccase immobilization on Cu or Cu/Fe2O4 NPs has not yet been reported. This investigation revealed that laccase immobilization on Cu/Fe2O4 NPs is desirable for efficient enzyme loading and high relative activity, with remarkable bisphenol A degradation potential.

Abstract
Laccase is a multi-copper enzyme widely expressed in fungi, higher plants, and bacteria which facilitates the direct reduction of molecular oxygen to water (without hydrogen peroxide production) accompanied by the oxidation of an electron donor. Laccase has attracted attention in biotechnological applications due to its non-specificity and use of molecular oxygen as secondary substrate. This review discusses different applications of laccase in various sectors of food, paper and pulp, waste water treatment, pharmaceuticals, sensors, and fuel cells. Despite the many advantages of laccase, challenges such as high cost due to its non-reusability, instability in harsh environmental conditions, and proteolysis are often encountered in its application. One of the approaches used to minimize these challenges is immobilization. The various methods used to immobilize laccase and the different supports used are further extensively discussed in this review.
