Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases are heme peroxidases with a broad range of substrate specificity. Their physiological function is still largely unknown, but a role in the depolymerization of plant cell wall polymers has been widely proposed. Here, a new expression system for bacterial dye-decolorizing peroxidases as well as the activity with previously unexplored plant molecules are reported. The dye-decolorizing peroxidase from Amycolatopsis 75iv2 (DyP2) was heterologously produced in the Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces lividans TK24 in both intracellular and extracellular forms without external heme supplementation. The enzyme was tested on a series of O-glycosides, which are plant secondary metabolites with a phenyl glycosidic linkage. O-glycosides are of great interest, both for studying the compounds themselves and as potential models for studying specific lignin-carbohydrate complexes. The primary DyP reaction products of salicin, arbutin, fraxin, naringin, rutin, and gossypin were oxidatively coupled oligomers. A cleavage of the glycone moiety upon radical polymerization was observed when using arbutin, fraxin, rutin, and gossypin as substrates. The amount of released glucose from arbutin and fraxin reached 23% and 3% of the total substrate, respectively. The proposed mechanism suggests a destabilization of the ether linkage due to the localization of the radical in the para position. In addition, DyP2 was tested on complex lignocellulosic materials such as wheat straw, spruce, willow, and purified water-soluble lignin fractions, but no remarkable changes in the carbohydrate profile were observed, despite obvious oxidative activity. The exact action of DyP2 on such lignin-carbohydrate complexes therefore remains elusive. IMPORTANCE Peroxidases require correct incorporation of the heme cofactor for activity. Heterologous overproduction of peroxidases often results in an inactive enzyme due to insufficient heme synthesis by the host organism. Therefore, peroxidases are incubated with excess heme during or after purification to reconstitute activity. S. lividans as a production host can produce fully active peroxidases both intracellularly and extracellularly without the need for heme supplementation. This reduces the number of downstream processing steps and is beneficial for more sustainable production of industrially relevant enzymes. Moreover, this research has extended the scope of dye-decolorizing peroxidase applications by studying naturally relevant plant secondary metabolites and analyzing the formed products. A previously overlooked artifact of radical polymerization leading to the release of the glycosyl moiety was revealed, shedding light on the mechanism of DyP peroxidases. The key aspect is the continuous addition, rather than the more common approach of a single addition, of the cosubstrate, hydrogen peroxide. This continuous addition allows the peroxidase to complete a high number of turnovers without self-oxidation.

Abstract
The valorization of lignin, a currently underutilized component of lignocellulosic biomass, has attracted attention to promote a stable and circular bioeconomy. Successful approaches including thermochemical, biological, and catalytic lignin depolymerization have been demonstrated, enabling opportunities for lignino-refineries and lignocellulosic biorefineries. Although significant progress in lignin valorization has been made, this review describes unexplored opportunities in chemical and biological routes for lignin depolymerization and thereby contributes to economically and environmentally sustainable lignin-utilizing biorefineries. This review also highlights the integration of chemical and biological lignin depolymerization and identifies research gaps while also recommending future directions for scaling processes to establish a lignino-chemical industry.

Abstract
Dye decolorizing peroxidases (DyP) have attracted interest for applications such as dye-containing wastewater remediation and biomass processing. So far, efforts to improve operational pH ranges, activities, and stabilities have focused on site-directed mutagenesis and directed evolution strategies. Here, we show that the performance of the DyP from Bacillus subtilis can be drastically boosted without the need for complex molecular biology procedures by simply activating the enzyme electrochemically in the absence of externally added H2O2. Under these conditions, the enzyme shows specific activities toward a variety of chemically different substrates that are significantly higher than in its canonical operation. Moreover, it presents much broader pH activity profiles with the maxima shifted toward neutral to alkaline. We also show that the enzyme can be successfully immobilized on biocompatible electrodes. When actuated electrochemically, the enzymatic electrodes have two orders of magnitude higher turnover numbers than with the standard H2O2-dependent operation and preserve about 30% of the initial electrocatalytic activity after 5 days of operation-storage cycles.

Abstract
Fibrous membranes offer broad opportunities to deploy immobilized enzymes in new reactor and application designs, including multiphase continuous flow-through reactions. Enzyme immobilization is a technology strategy that simplifies the separation of otherwise soluble catalytic proteins from liquid reaction media and imparts stabilization and performance enhancement. Flexible immobilization matrices made from fibers have versatile physical attributes, such as high surface area, light weight, and controllable porosity, which give them membrane-like characteristics, while simultaneously providing good mechanical properties for creating functional filters, sensors, scaffolds, and other interface-active biocatalytic materials. This review examines immobilization strategies for enzymes on fibrous membrane-like polymeric supports involving all three fundamental mechanisms of post-immobilization, incorporation, and coating. Post-immobilization offers an infinite selection of matrix materials, but may encounter loading and durability issues, while incorporation offers longevity but has more limited material options and may present mass transfer obstacles. Coating techniques on fibrous materials at different geometric scales are a growing trend in making membranes that integrate biocatalytic functionality with versatile physical supports. Biocatalytic performance parameters and characterization techniques for immobilized enzymes are described, including several emerging techniques of special relevance for fibrous immobilized enzymes. Diverse application examples from the literature, focusing on fibrous matrices, are summarized, and biocatalyst longevity is emphasized as a critical performance parameter that needs increased attention to advance concepts from lab scale to broader utilization. This consolidation of fabrication, performance measurement, and characterization techniques, with guiding examples highlighted, is intended to inspire future innovations in enzyme immobilization with fibrous membranes and expand their uses in novel reactors and processes.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing Peroxidases (DyPs) are heme-containing enzymes in fungi and bacteria that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water with concomitant oxidation of various substrates, including anthraquinone dyes, lignin-related phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, and metal ions. Investigation of DyPs has shed new light on peroxidases, one of the most extensively studied families of oxidoreductases; still, details of their microbial physiological role and catalytic mechanisms remain to be fully disclosed. They display a distinctive ferredoxin-like fold encompassing anti-parallel β-sheets and α-helices, and long conserved loops surround the heme pocket with a role in catalysis and stability. A tunnel routes H2O2 to the heme pocket, whereas binding sites for the reducing substrates are in cavities near the heme or close to distal aromatic residues at the surface. Variations in reactions, the role of catalytic residues, and mechanisms were observed among different classes of DyP. They were hypothetically related to the presence or absence of distal H2O molecules in the heme pocket. The engineering of DyPs for improved properties directed their biotechnological applications, primarily centered on treating textile effluents and degradation of other hazardous pollutants, to fields such as biosensors and valorization of lignin, the most abundant renewable aromatic polymer. In this review, we track recent research contributions that furthered our understanding of the activity, stability, and structural properties of DyPs and their biotechnological applications. Overall, the study of DyP-type peroxidases has significant implications for environmental sustainability and the development of new bio-based products and materials with improved end-of-life options via biodegradation and chemical recyclability, fostering the transition to a sustainable bio-based industry in the circular economy realm.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is considered one of the significant recalcitrant materials and also is difficult to break down because of its complex structure. Different microbes such as bacteria and fungi are responsible for breaking down these complex lignin structures. This article discussed briefly the lignin-degrading bacteria and their critical steps involved in lignin depolymerization. In addition, fungi are regarded as the ideal microorganism for the degradation of lignin because of their highly effective hydrolytic and oxidative enzyme systems for the breakdown of lignocellulosic materials. The white rot fungi, mainly belonging to basidiomycetes, is the main degrader of lignin among various microorganisms. This could be achieved because of the presence of lignolytic enzymes such as laccases, lignin peroxidases, and manganese peroxidases. The significance of the fungi and lignolytic enzyme’s role in lignin depolymerization, along with its mechanism and chemical pathways, are emphasized in this article.

Abstract
Lignin, the largest renewable aromatic resource, is a promising alternative feedstock for the sustainable production of various chemicals, fuels, and materials. Despite this potential, lignin is characterized by heterogeneous and macromolecular structures that must be addressed. In this review, we present biological lignin conversion routes (BLCRs) that offer opportunities for overcoming these challenges, making lignin valorization feasible. Funneling heterogeneous aromatics via a 'biological funnel' offers a high-specificity bioconversion route for aromatic platform chemicals. The inherent aromaticity of lignin drives atom-economic functionalization routes toward aromatic natural product generation. By harnessing the ligninolytic capacities of specific microbial systems, powerful aromatic ring-opening routes can be developed to generate various value-added products. Thus, BLCRs hold the promise to make lignin valorization feasible and enable a lignocellulose-based bioeconomy.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities resulted in the deposition of huge quantities of contaminants such as heavy metals, dyes, hydrocarbons, etc into an ecosystem. The serious ill effects caused by these pollutants to all living organisms forced in advancement of technology for degrading or removing these pollutants. This degrading activity is mostly depending on microorganisms owing to their ability to survive in harsh adverse conditions. Though native strains possess the capability to degrade these pollutants the development of genetic engineering and molecular biology resulted in engineering approaches that enhanced the efficiency of microbes in degrading pollutants at faster rate. Many bioinformatics tools have been developed for altering/modifying genetic content in microbes to increase their degrading potency. This review provides a detailed note on engineered microbes - their significant importance in degrading environmental contaminants and the approaches utilized for modifying microbes. The genes responsible for degrading the pollutants have been identified and modified fir increasing the potential for quick degradation. The methods for increasing the tolerance in engineered microbes have also been discussed. Thus engineered microbes prove to be effective alternate compared to native strains for degrading pollutants.

Abstract
The treatment of environmental pollutants such as synthetic dyes and lignin has received much attention, especially for biotechnological treatments using both native and artificial metalloenzymes. In this study, we designed and engineered an efficient peroxidase using the O2 carrier myoglobin (Mb) as a protein scaffold by four mutations (F43Y/T67R/P88W/F138W), which combines the key structural features of natural peroxidases such as the presence of a conserved His-Arg pair and Tyr/Trp residues close to the heme active center. Kinetic studies revealed that the quadruple mutant exhibits considerably enhanced peroxidase activity, with the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) comparable to that of the most efficient natural enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Moreover, the designed enzyme can effectively decolorize a variety of synthetic organic dyes and catalyze the bioconversion of lignin, such as Kraft lignin and a model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GGE). As analyzed by HPLC and ESI-MS, we identified several bioconversion products of GGE, as produced via bond cleavage followed by dimerization or trimerization, which illustrates the mechanism for lignin bioconversion. This study indicates that the designed enzyme could be exploited for the decolorization of textile wastewater contaminated with various dyes, as well as for the bioconversion of lignin to produce more value-added products.

Loops around the Heme Pocket Have a Critical Role in the Function and Stability of BsDyP from Bacillus subtilis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms221910862.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis BsDyP belongs to class I of the dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) family of enzymes and is an interesting biocatalyst due to its high redox potential, broad substrate spectrum and thermostability. This work reports the optimization of BsDyP using directed evolution for improved oxidation of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, a model lignin-derived phenolic. After three rounds of evolution, one variant was identified displaying 7-fold higher catalytic rates and higher production yields as compared to the wild-type enzyme. The analysis of X-ray structures of the wild type and the evolved variant showed that the heme pocket is delimited by three long conserved loop regions and a small α helix where, incidentally, the mutations were inserted in the course of evolution. One loop in the proximal side of the heme pocket becomes more flexible in the evolved variant and the size of the active site cavity is increased, as well as the width of its mouth, resulting in an enhanced exposure of the heme to solvent. These conformational changes have a positive functional role in facilitating electron transfer from the substrate to the enzyme. However, they concomitantly resulted in decreasing the enzyme’s overall stability by 2 kcal mol−1, indicating a trade-off between functionality and stability. Furthermore, the evolved variant exhibited slightly reduced thermal stability compared to the wild type. The obtained data indicate that understanding the role of loops close to the heme pocket in the catalysis and stability of DyPs is critical for the development of new and more powerful biocatalysts: loops can be modulated for tuning important DyP properties such as activity, specificity and stability.

Abstract
Dye decoloring peroxidases (DyPs) were named after their high efficiency to decolorize and degrade a wide range of dyes. DyPs are a type of heme peroxidase and are quite different from known heme peroxidases in terms of amino acid sequences, protein structure, catalytic residues, and physical and chemical properties. DyPs oxidize polycyclic dyes and phenolic compounds. Thus they find high application potentials in dealing with environmental problems. The structure and catalytic characteristics of DyPs of different families from the amino acid sequence, protein structure, and enzymatic properties, and analyzes the high-efficiency degradation ability of some DyPs in dye and lignin degradation, which vary greatly among DyPs classes. In addition, application prospects of DyPs in biomedicine and other fields are also discussed briefly. At the same time, the research strategy based on genetic engineering and synthetic biology in improving the stability and catalytic activity of DyPs are summarized along with the important industrial applications of DyPs and associated challenges. Moreover, according to the current research findings, bringing DyPs to the industrial level may require improving the catalytic efficiency of DyP, increasing production, and enhancing alkali resistance and toxicity.

Abstract
The conversion of Kraft lignin in plant biomass into renewable chemicals, aiming at harvesting aromatic compounds, is a challenge process in biorefinery. Comparing to the traditional chemical methods, enzymatic catalysis provides a gentle way for the degradation of lignin. Alternative to natural enzymes, artificial enzymes have been received much attention for potential applications. We herein achieved the biodegradation of Kraft lignin using an artificial peroxidase rationally designed in myoglobin (Mb), F43Y/T67R Mb, with a covalently linked heme cofactor. The artificial enzyme of F43Y/T67R Mb has improved catalytic efficiencies at mild acidic pH for phenolic and aromatic amine substrates, including Kraft lignin and the model lignin dimer guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GGE). We proposed a possible catalytic mechanism for the biotransformation of lignin catalyzed by the enzyme, based on the results of kinetic UV-Vis studies and UPLC-ESI-MS analysis, as well as molecular modeling studies. With the advantages of F43Y/T67R Mb, such as the high-yield by overexpression in E. coli cells and the enhanced protein stability, this study suggests that the artificial enzyme has potential applications in the biodegradation of lignin to provide sustainable bioresource.

Abstract
Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer on earth and is a major source of aromatic compounds; however, it is vastly underutilized owing to its heterogeneous and recalcitrant nature. Microorganisms have evolved efficient mechanisms that overcome these challenges to depolymerize lignin and funnel complex mixtures of lignin-derived monomers to central metabolites. This review summarizes recent synthetic biology efforts to enhance lignin depolymerization and aromatic catabolism in bacterial and fungal hosts for the production of both natural and novel bioproducts. We also highlight difficulties in engineering complex phenotypes and discuss the outlook for the future of lignin biological valorization.

Comparing Ligninolytic Capabilities of Bacterial and Fungal Dye-Decolorizing Peroxidases and Class-II Peroxidase-Catalases. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22052629.

Abstract
We aim to clarify the ligninolytic capabilities of dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) from bacteria and fungi, compared to fungal lignin peroxidase (LiP) and versatile peroxidase (VP). With this purpose, DyPs from Amycolatopsis sp., Thermomonospora curvata, and Auricularia auricula-judae, VP from Pleurotus eryngii, and LiP from Phanerochaete chrysosporium were produced, and their kinetic constants and reduction potentials determined. Sharp differences were found in the oxidation of nonphenolic simple (veratryl alcohol, VA) and dimeric (veratrylglycerol-β- guaiacyl ether, VGE) lignin model compounds, with LiP showing the highest catalytic efficiencies (around 15 and 200 s−1·mM−1 for VGE and VA, respectively), while the efficiency of the A. auricula-judae DyP was 1–3 orders of magnitude lower, and no activity was detected with the bacterial DyPs. VP and LiP also showed the highest reduction potential (1.28–1.33 V) in the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycle (i.e., compound-II reduction to resting enzyme), estimated by stopped-flow measurements at the equilibrium, while the T. curvata DyP showed the lowest value (1.23 V). We conclude that, when using realistic enzyme doses, only fungal LiP and VP, and in much lower extent fungal DyP, oxidize nonphenolic aromatics and, therefore, have the capability to act on the main moiety of the native lignin macromolecule.

Abstract
Dye decolourizing peroxidase (DyP) is an emerging biocatalyst with enormous bioremediation and biotechnological potentials. This study examined the global trend of research related to DyP through a bibliometric analysis. The search term 'dye decolourizing peroxidase' or 'DyP-type peroxidase' was used to retrieve published articles between 2007 and 2019 from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. A total of 62 articles were published within the period, with an annual growth rate of 17·6%. The highest research output was observed in 2015, which accounted for about 13% of the total output in 12 years. Germany published the highest number of articles (n = 10, 16·1%) with a total citation of 478. However, the lowest number of published articles among the top 10 countries was observed in India and Korea (n = 2, 3·2%). Research collaboration was low (collaboration index = 4·08). In addition to dye decolourizing peroxidase(s) and DyP-type peroxidase(s) (n = 33, 53·23%), the top authors keywords and research focus included lignin and lignin degradation (n = 10, 16·1 %). More so, peroxidase (n = 59, 95·2%), amino acid sequence (n = 27, 46·8%), lignin (n = 24, 38·7%) and metabolism (n = 23, 37·1%) were highly represented in keywords-plus. The most common conceptual framework from this study include characterization, lignin degradation and environmental proteomics. Apart from the inherent efficient dye-decolourizing properties, this study showed that DyP has emerging biotechnological potentials in lignin degradation and remediation of phenolic environmental pollutants, which at the moment are under explored globally.

Abstract
Lignin is a robust material that is considered useless because it has an inhibitory effect on microbes and acts as a physical barrier for cellulose degradation. Therefore, it has been removed from cellulosic biomass to produce high-value materials. However, lignin monomers can be converted to value-added chemicals such as biodegradable plastics and food additives by appropriately engineered microbes. Lignin degradation through peroxidase, laccase and other proteins with auxiliary activity is the first step in lignin valorization. Metabolic engineering of microorganisms for increased tolerance and production yield is the second step for lignin valorization. Here, this review offers a summary of current biotechnologies using various enzymatic activities, synergistic enzyme mixtures and metabolic engineering for lignin valorization in biorefinery.
