[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] [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
Introduction Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed in the environment, causing damage to biota and human health. Due to their physicochemical characteristics, they become resistant particles to environmental degradation, leading to their accumulation in large quantities in the terrestrial ecosystem. Thus, there is an urgent need for measures to mitigate such pollution, with biological degradation being a viable alternative, where bacteria play a crucial role, demonstrating high efficiency in degrading various types of MPs. Therefore, the study aimed to identify bacteria with the potential for MP biodegradation and the enzymes produced during the process. Methods The methodology used followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Results and Discussion The research yielded 68 eligible studies, highlighting bacteria from the genera Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, and Rhodococcus as the main organisms involved in MP biodegradation. Additionally, enzymes such as hydrolases and alkane hydroxylases were emphasized for their involvement in this process. Thus, the potential of bacterial biodegradation is emphasized as a promising pathway to mitigate the environmental impact of MPs, highlighting the relevance of identifying bacteria with biotechnological potential for large-scale applications in reducing MP pollution.

Abstract
Enzymes are commonly used as biocatalysts for various biological and chemical processes in industrial applications. However, their limited operational stability, catalytic efficiency, poor reusability, and high-cost hamper further industrial usage. Thus, crosslinked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) are developed as a better enzyme immobilization tool to extend the enzymes' operational stability. This immobilization method is appealing because it is simpler due to the absence of ballast and permits the collective use of crude enzyme cocktails. CLEAs, so far, have been successfully developed using a variety of enzymes, viz., hydrolases, proteases, amidases, lipases, esterases, and oxidoreductase. Recent years have seen the emergence of novel strategies for preparing better CLEAs, which include the combi- and multi-CLEAs, magnetics CLEAs, and porous CLEAs for various industrial applications, viz., laundry detergents, organic synthesis, food industries, pharmaceutical applications, oils, and biodiesel production. To better understand the different strategies for CLEAs' development, this review explores these strategies and highlights the relevant concerns in designing innovative CLEAs. This article also details the challenges faced during CLEAs preparation and solutions for overcoming them. Finally, the trending strategies to improve the preparation of CLEAs alongside their industrial application trends are also discussed.

Abstract
The rapid proliferation of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in our environment presents a formidable hazard to both biotic and abiotic components. These pollutants originate from various sources, including commercial production and the breakdown of larger plastic particles. Widespread contamination of the human body, agroecosystems, and animals occurs through ingestion, entry into the food chain, and inhalation. Consequently, the imperative to devise innovative methods for MPs and NPs remediation has become increasingly apparent. This review explores the current landscape of strategies proposed to mitigate the escalating threats associated with plastic waste. Among the array of methods in use, microbial remediation emerges as a promising avenue for the decomposition and reclamation of MPs and NPs. In response to the growing concern, numerous nations have already implemented or are in the process of adopting regulations to curtail MPs and NPs in aquatic habitats. This paper aims to address this gap by delving into the environmental fate, behaviour, transport, ecotoxicity, and management of MPs and NPs particles within the context of nanoscience, microbial ecology, and remediation technologies. Key findings of this review encompass the intricate interdependencies between MPs and NPs and their ecosystems. The ecological impact, from fate to ecotoxicity, is scrutinized in light of the burgeoning environmental imperative. As a result, this review not only provides an encompassing understanding of the ecological ramifications of MPs and NPs but also highlights the pressing need for further research, innovation, and informed interventions.

Abstract
Hydrogels have gained significant popularity in agricultural applications in terms of minimizing waste and mitigating the negative environmental impact of agrochemicals. This review specifically examines the utilization of environmentally friendly, shapable hydrogels composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in various casings for crop protection against different pests, fertilizing, and watering. To activate their effectiveness, PVA/PVP hydrogels were loaded with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environmentally friendly pesticides, namely hydrogen peroxide (HP), the essential oil thymol, and urea as a fertilizer, either separately or in combination. This review covers various physical and chemical approaches used for loading, shaping, and controlling the release profiles of pesticides and fertilizers. Additionally, it explores the evaluation of the chemical composition, structure, classification, rheology, and morphology of the hydrogels as well as their impact on the thermal stability of the encapsulated pesticides and fertilizer, followed by biological tests. These hydrogels significantly contribute to the stabilization and controlled release of essential nutrients and biocides for plants, while maintaining excellent biocidal and fertilizing properties as well as sustainability characteristics. By shedding light on the latest insights into the concepts, applications, and results of these hydrogels, this review demonstrates their immense potential for widespread future use in agriculture.

Abstract
In this study, horseradish peroxidase was extracted, purified, and immobilized on a calcium alginate-starch hybrid support by covalent bonding and entrapment. The immobilized HRP was used for the biodegradation of phenol red dye. A 3.74-fold purification was observed after precipitation with ammonium sulfate and dialysis. An immobilization yield of 88.33%, efficiency of 56.89%, and activity recovery of 50.26% were found. The optimum pH and temperature values for immobilized and free HRP were 5.0 and 50 °C and 6.5 and 60 °C, respectively. The immobilized HRP showed better thermal stability than its free form, resulting in a considerable increase in half-life time (t1/2) and deactivation energy (Ed). The immobilized HRP maintained 93.71% of its initial activity after 45 days of storage at 4 °C. Regarding the biodegradation of phenol red, immobilized HRP resulted in 63.57% degradation after 90 min. After 10 cycles of reuse, the immobilized HRP was able to maintain 43.06% of its initial biodegradative capacity and 42.36% of its enzymatic activity. At the end of 15 application cycles, a biodegradation rate of 8.34% was observed. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the immobilized HRP is a promising option for use as an industrial biocatalyst in various biotechnological applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of the most widely used water-soluble polymers with remarkable mechanical properties. However, water-soluble polymers are among the major organic pollutants of streams, river, and marine ecosystems. Once dispersed in aqueous systems, they can directly interfere with the life cycle of aquatic organisms via direct toxic effects. There is thus an urgent need for microorganisms or enzymes that can efficiently degrade them. Oxidized PVA hydrolase plays an important role in the pathway of PVA biodegradation. It is the key enzyme in the second step of the pathway for complete degradation of PVA. METHODS AND RESULTS The s-oph gene was cloned from the laboratory-isolated strain Sphingopyxis sp. M19. This gene was expressed in the Escherichia coli system pET32a/s-oph expression vector, with the products forming an inclusion body. By binding with a molecular chaperone, pET32a/s-oph/BL21 (DE3)/pGro7 was successfully constructed, which enabled the s-oph gene to be solubly expressed in E. coli. The protein encoded by the s-oph gene was purified at a yield of 16.8 mg L-1, and its catalytic activity reached 852.71 U mg-1. In the s-oph enzyme reaction system, the efficiency of PVA degradation was increased to 233.5% compared with that of controls. CONCLUSIONS The s-oph enzyme exhibited the characteristics of being able to degrade PVA with high efficiency, specificity, and stability. This enzyme has good potential for practical application in ameliorating plastic pollution and protecting the environment.

Abstract
Biological degradation of plastic waste is an environmentally and economically friendlier alternative to current recycling practices and enables the cycling of plastic monomers back into virgin-quality plastics. However, due to slow reaction rates, there is a lack of an industrially viable biodegradation strategy for most plastics. Here, we highlight the applicability of a thermophilic biodegradation strategy over a mesophilic approach, to enhance enzyme accessibility and catalyze plastic biodegradation. Thus, at reactions closer to the melting temperature or glass transition temperature of plastics, thermophilic reactions can offer an alternative direction to conventional plastic biodegradation strategies.

Abstract
Electrocoagulation was investigated as a method for treating wastewater containing polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) from the furniture industry. The study evaluated the evolution of iron concentration and passivation during the treatment process. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of inter-electrode distance (d), current density, and mode on treatment performance. Three values of d (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 cm) were studied and found to have no significant effect on performance. However, lower d values resulted in reduced energy consumption due to a decrease in applied voltage. Three values of current density (132, 158, and 197 A m-2) were studied under two current modes, Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Pulsed Current (APC). The best treatment performance for DC occurred under 158 A m-2 (the treated wastewater was characterized by pH = 4.59 ± 0.02, conductivity = 996 ± 21 μS cm-1, COD = 1940 ± 55 mgO2 L-1, TSS = 105 ± 14 mg L-1, and Fe = 50.39 ± 1.87 mgFe L-1). For APC, the best performance was achieved under 197 A m-2 (the treated wastewater was characterized by pH = 6.33 ± 0.06, conductivity = 988 ± 17 μS cm-1, COD = 1942 ± 312 mgO2 L-1, TSS = 199 ± 55 mg L-1, and Fe = 44.68 ± 4.60 mgFe L-1). Despite the promising results, treatment performance was insufficient to meet the legal requirements for water discharge. APC was found to be a more economically viable approach, as it reduced anode wear, electrode passivation, and energy consumption. The quantity of iron released increased with d, and the effect of current density on iron concentration was found to be non-linear. However, applying APC reduced the iron content for all tested current densities. The tests showed that EC was effective in removing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS), achieving removal efficiencies above 92% and 99%, respectively. However, the studied treatment procedures were insufficient to meet the EU legal requirements for water discharge. Therefore, the obtained wastewater should undergo a post-treatment process.

Abstract
Synthesis and characterization of highly active cross-linked laccase aggregates (CLLAs) were performed and evaluated for removal of pentachlorophenol and phenanthrene from lignocellulosic biorefinery wastewater. Laccase from Tramates versicolor MTCC 138 was insolubilized as CLLAs via precipitation with 70% ammonium sulphate and simultaneous cross-linking with 5 mM glutaraldehyde to obtain activity recovery of 89.1%. Compared to the free laccase, the pH and thermal stability of the prepared CLLAs were significantly higher. At a high temperature of 60 °C, free laccase had a half-life of 0.25 h, while CLLAs had a half-life of 6.2 h. In biorefinery wastewater (pH 7.0), the free and CLLAs were stored for 3 day at a temperature of 30 °C. Free laccase completely lost their initial activity after 60 h; however, the CLLAs retained 39% activity till 72 h. Due to its excellent stability, free laccase and CLLAs were assessed for removing pentachlorophenol and phenanthrene in wastewater. CLLAs could remove 51-58% of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and phenanthrene (PHE) in 24 h. Biosurfactants, including surfactin, sophorolipid, and rhamnolipid, were assessed for their aptitude to improve the removal of organic contaminants in wastewater. Biorefinery wastewater incubated with all surfactants enhanced PCP and PHE removal compared to the no-surfactant controls. Further, 1 μM rhamnolipid significantly amplified pentachlorophenol and phenanthrene removal to 81-93% for free laccase and CLLAs, respectively.

[PMID: 36770972 PMCID: PMC9919482 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) represent an effective tool for carrier-free immobilization of enzymes. The present study promotes a successful application of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for stabilization of cellulase CLEAs. Catalytically active CLEAs and magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (mCLEAs) of cellulase from Trichoderma reesei were prepared using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linking agent and the catalytic activity and stability of the CLEAs/mCLEAs were investigated. The influence of precipitation agents, cross-linker concentration, concentration of enzyme, addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA), and addition of sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) on expressed activity and immobilization yield of CLEAs/mCLEAs was studied. Particularly, reducing the unsaturated Schiff's base to form irreversible linkages is important and improved the activity of CLEAs (86%) and mCLEAs (91%). For increased applicability of CLEAs/mCLEAs, we enhanced the activity and stability at mild biochemical process conditions. The reusability after 10 cycles of both CLEAs and mCLEAs was investigated, which retained 72% and 65% of the initial activity, respectively. The thermal stability of CLEAs and mCLEAs in comparison with the non-immobilized enzyme was obtained at 30 °C (145.65% and 188.7%, respectively) and 50 °C (185.1% and 141.4%, respectively). Kinetic parameters were determined for CLEAs and mCLEAs, and the KM constant was found at 0.055 ± 0.0102 mM and 0.037 ± 0.0012 mM, respectively. The maximum velocity rate (Vmax) was calculated as 1.12 ± 0.0012 µmol/min for CLEA and 1.17 ± 0.0023 µmol/min for mCLEA. Structural characterization was studied using XRD, SEM, and FT-IR. Catalytical properties of immobilized enzyme were improved with the addition of reducent NaBH3CN by enhancing the activity of CLEAs and with addition of functionalized aminosilane MNPs by enhancing the activity of mCLEAs.

Jing FY, Zhang YQ. Unidirectional Nanopore Dehydration Induces an Anisotropic Polyvinyl Alcohol Hydrogel Membrane with Enhanced Mechanical Properties. Gels 2022; 8:gels8120803.

Abstract
As a biocompatible, degradable polymer material, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can have a wide range of applications in the biomedical field. PVA aqueous solutions at room temperature can be cast into very thin films with poor mechanical strength via water evaporation. Here, we describe a novel dehydration method, unidirectional nanopore dehydration (UND). The UND method was used to directly dehydrate a PVA aqueous solution to form a water-stable, anisotropic, and mechanically robust PVA hydrogel membrane (PVAHM), whose tensile strength, elongation at break, and swelling ratio reached values of up to ~2.95 MPa, ~350%, and ~350%, respectively. The film itself exhibited an oriented arrangement of porous network structures with an average pore size of ~1.0 μm. At 70 °C, the PVAHMs formed were even more mechanically robust, with a tensile strength and elongation at break of 10.5 MPa and 891%, almost 3.5 times and 2 times greater than the PVAHM prepared at 25 °C, respectively. The processing temperature affects the velocity at which the water molecules flow unidirectionally through the nanopores, and could, thus, alter the overall transformation of the PVA chains into a physically crosslinked 3D network. Therefore, the temperature setting during UND can control the mechanical properties of the hydrogel membrane to meet the requirements of various biomaterial applications. These results show that the UND can induce the ordered rearrangement of PVA molecular chains, forming a PVAHM with superior mechanical properties and exhibiting a greater number of stronger hydrogen bonds. Therefore, the novel dehydration mode not only induces the formation of a mechanically robust and anisotropic PVA hydrogel membrane with a porous network structure and an average pore size of ~1.0 μm, but also greatly enhances the mechanical properties by increasing the temperature. It may be applied for the processing of water-soluble polymers, including proteins, as novel functional materials.

Abstract
We designed a photocatalyst and developed sustainable wastewater purification technology, which have significant advantages in effectively solving the global problem of drinking water shortage. In this study, a new nanocomposite was reported and shown to be a catalyst with excellent performance; CuO was coated successively onto functionalized nano γ-Al2O3, and this novel structure could provide abundant active sites. We evaluated the performance of the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) degradation under visible light irradiation. Under optimized conditions (calcination temperature, 450 °C; mass ratio of γ-Al2O3:Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, 1:15; pH value, 7; catalyst dosage, 2.6 g/L; reaction temperature, 20 °C; and H2O2 dosage, 0.2 g/mL), the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst presented an excellent PVA removal rate of 99.21%. After ten consecutive degradation experiments, the catalyst could still maintain a PVA removal rate of 97.58%, thus demonstrating excellent reusability. This study provides an efficient and easy-to-prepare photocatalyst and proposes a mechanism for the synergistic effect of the photocatalytic reaction and the Fenton-like reaction.

Abstract
Enzymes are commonly used as biocatalysts for various biological and chemical processes. However, some major drawbacks of free enzymes (e.g. poor reusability and instability) significantly restrict their industrial practices. How to overcome these weaknesses remain considerable challenges. Enzyme immobilization is one of the most effective ways to improve the reusability and stability of enzymes. Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) has been known as a novel and versatile carrier-free immobilization method. CLEAs is attractive due to its simplicity and robustness, without purification. It generally shows: high catalytic specificity and selectivity, good operational and storage stabilities, and good reusability. Moreover, co-immobilization of different kinds of enzymes can be acquired. These CLEAs advantages provide opportunities for further industrial applications. Herein, the preparation parameters of CLEAs were first summarized. Next, characterization of structural and catalytic properties, stability and reusability are also proposed. Finally, some important applications of this technique in: environmental protection, industrial chemistry, food industry, and pharmaceutical synthesis and delivery are introduced. Potential challenges and future research directions, such as improving cross-linking efficiency and internal mass transfer efficiency, are also presented. This implies that CLEAs provide an efficient and feasible technique to improve the properties of enzymes for use in the industry.

Abstract
In recent years, the utilisation of endophytes has emerged as a promising biological treatment technology for the degradation of plastic wastes such as biodegradation of synthetic plastics. This study, therefore, aimed to explore and extensively screen endophytic fungi (from selected plants) for efficient in vitro polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) biodegradation. In total, 76 endophytic fungi were isolated and cultivated on a PVA screening agar medium. Among these fungi, 10 isolates showed potential and were subsequently identified based on phenotypical characteristics, ITS ribosomal gene sequences, and phylogenetic analyses. Four strains exhibited a maximum level of PVA-degradation in the liquid medium when cultivated for 10 days at 28 °C and 150 rpm. These strains showed varied PVA removal rates of 81% (Penicillium brevicompactum OVR-5), 67% (Talaromyces verruculosus PRL-2), 52% (P. polonicum BJL-9), and 41% (Aspergillus tubingensis BJR-6) respectively. The most promising PVA biodegradation isolate 'OVR-5', with an optimal pH at 7.0 and optimal temperature at 30 °C, produced lipase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase enzymes. Based on analyses of its metabolic intermediates, as identified with GC-MS, we proposed the potential PVA degradation pathway of OVR-5. Biodegradation results were confirmed through scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This study provides the first report on an endophytic P. brevicompactum strain (associated with Orychophragmus violaceus) that has a great ability for PVA degradation providing more insight on potential fungus-based applications in plastic waste degradation.

Abstract
β-glucuronidase is an important catalyst which is highly specific for β-glucuronides. Here, we constructed magnetic cross-linking β-glucuronidase aggregates (MCLEAs) to for the production of glycyrrhetinic acid (GA). Before crosslinking via glutaraldehyde, we used carbodiimide to enhance the interaction between enzymes and carboxyl-functionalized Fe3O4, efficiently improving the activity recovery. Compared to free enzymes, both kcat and kcat/Km enhanced, indicating that crosslinking and aggregation brought higher catalytic efficiency to enzymes. MCLEAs enhanced pH and thermal stabilities and retained 63.3% of catalytic activity after 6 cycles. More importantly, it was first found that the glucuronic acid tolerance of β-glucuronidase after the formation of MCLEAs enhanced 221.5% in 10 mM of glucuronic acid. According to the Raman spectroscopy, the ordered structure of β-glucuronidase increased from 43.9% to 50.6% after immobilization, which explained the increased stability and tolerance. To sum up, MCLEAs provided an efficient strategy for immobilization of enzymes, which enhanced stability and glucuronic acid tolerance of enzymes. It might be an effective solution to the serious inhibition caused by by-products during the preparation of aglycone from natural glycosides, having a significant applied prospect in industry.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an emerging pollutant commonly found in industrial wastewater, owing to its extensive usage as an additive in the manufacturing industry. PVA’s popularity has made wastewater treatment technologies for PVA degradation a popular research topic in industrial wastewater treatment. Although many PVA degradation technologies are studied in bench-scale processes, recent advancements in process optimization and control of wastewater treatment technologies such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) show the feasibility of these processes by monitoring and controlling processes to meet desired regulatory standards. These wastewater treatment technologies exhibit complex reaction mechanisms leading to nonlinear and nonstationary behavior related to variability in operational conditions. Thus, black-box dynamic modeling is a promising tool for designing control schemes since dynamic modeling is more complicated in terms of first principles and reaction mechanisms. This study seeks to provide a survey of process control methods via a comprehensive review focusing on PVA degradation methods, including biological and advanced oxidation processes, along with their reaction mechanisms, control-oriented dynamic modeling (i.e., state-space, transfer function, and artificial neural network modeling), and control strategies (i.e., proportional-integral-derivative control and predictive control) associated with wastewater treatment technologies utilized for PVA degradation.

Abstract
Microplastic is a fragmented plastic part that emerges as a potential marine and terrestrial contaminant. The microplastic wastes in marine and soil environments cause severe problems in living systems. Microplastic wastes have been linked to various health problems, including reproductive harm and obesity, plus issues such as organ problems and developmental delays in children. Recycling plastic/microplastics from the environment is very low, so remediating these polymers after their utilization is of paramount concern. The microplastic causes severe toxic effects and contaminates the environment. Microplastic affects marine life, microorganism in soil, soil enzymes, plants system, and physicochemical properties. Ecotoxicology of the microplastic raised many questions about its use and development from the environment. Various physicochemical and microbial technologies have been developed for their remediation from the environment. The microplastic effects are linked with its concentration, size, and shape in contaminated environments. Microplastic is able to sorb the inorganic and organic contaminants and affect their fate into the contaminated sites. Microbial technology is considered safer for the remediation of the microplastics via its unique metabolic machinery. Bioplastic is regarded as safer and eco-friendly as compared to plastics. The review article explored an in-depth understanding of the microplastic, its fate, toxicity to the environment, and robust remediation strategies.

Abstract
Corn starch (CS) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were incorporated into biodegradable poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to prepare mechanically robust and sustainable composites through melt-processing. Based on the regulation and control of hydrogen bonding network, CS and CNFs can extend the processing window and improve the thermoplasticity of PVA composites. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectra analysis indicate that the intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds of PVA are broken, accompanied by the formation of new hydrogen bonds among PVA, CS and CNFs during the melt-processing treatment. Thermal analysis shows that the processing window of PVA composite is significantly broadened to 131.46 °C. The tensile strength, modulus and elongation at break of the composites reach to 28.19 MPa, 1572.54 MPa and 10.72% by the incorporation of 10 wt% CS and 10 wt% CNFs. This strategy is not only expected to provide a direction for preparing complex three-dimensional products of PVA by melt-processing, but also provide a method to enhance the mechanical properties of other biodegradable plastics.

Immobilization of horseradish peroxidase on cationic microporous starch: Physico-bio-chemical characterization and removal of phenolic compounds. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 181:734-742. [PMID: 33811934 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.03.171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, two different modified starches; microporous starch (MPS) and cationic microporous starch (CMPS) were synthesized. The granules of MPS that distributed regularly were destroyed after the etherification reaction. The data depicted that the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on CMPS revealed highest immobilization efficiency (86%) at 100 mg of CMPS at pH = 6.0 and 100 units of enzyme. After 10 reuses of the CMPS-HRP, it retained 66% of initial activity. The soluble HRP showed broad pH optimum of 6.0-7.0, which changed to sharp pH = 6.0 for CMPS-HRP. Soluble-HRP and CMPS-HRP showed temperature optima at 30 °C and 40 °C, respectively. The CMPS-HRP showed high thermal stability up to 50 °C compared to the soluble HRP (40 °C). The Km values of soluble HRP and CMPS-HRP were 6.6 and 10.8 mM for H2O2 and 34 and 41.6 mM for guaiacol, respectively. CMPS-HRP showed higher affinity toward various substrates than the soluble-HRP. CMPS-HRP showed more resistance against heavy metals, urea, isopropanol, Triton X-100 and trypsin than soluble enzyme. The CMPS-HRP showed higher ability to remove phenol and p-chlorophenol compared to soluble-HRP.

Effect of cross-linked enzyme aggregate strategy on characterization of sn-1,3 extracellular lipase from Aspergillus niger GZUF36. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:1925-1941. [PMID: 33559718 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11160-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
The sn-1,3 extracellular lipase from Aspergillus niger GZUF36 (EXANL1) has important potential applications. The cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) of purified EXANL1 (CLEA-EXANL1) achieved optimum activity recovery (148.5 ± 0.9%), immobilization yield (100 ± 0%), and recovered activity (99.7 ± 0.6%) with 80% tert-butanol as the precipitant, glutaraldehyde (GA) concentration of 30 mM, GA treatment time of 1.5 h, and centrifugal speed of 6000×g. The effect of CLEA strategy on the characterization of EXANL1 was evaluated in this work. CLEA-EXANL1 exhibited a broader optimum pH range (4-6) compared with free EXANL1 (6.5). CLEA-EXANL1 presented optimum activity at 40 °C, which was 5 °C higher than that of free EXANL1. CLEA strategy decreased the maximum reaction rate and increased the Michaelis-Menten constant of EXANL1 when olive oil emulsion was used as a substrate. Moreover, after 30 days, free EXANL1 lost more than 80.0% of its activity, whereas CLEA-EXANL1 retained more than 90.0% of its activity. CLEA strategy improved the tolerance of EXANL1 in polar organic solvents. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that the CLEA technique increased the contents of β-sheets and β-turns in EXANL1 and reduced those of α-helixes and irregular crimps. CLEA strategy caused no change in the sn-1,3 selectivity of EXANL1. Therefore, EXANL1 in the form of CLEA is a valuable catalyst in the synthesis of 1,3-diacylglycerol. KEY POINTS: • Cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) strategy broadened the optimum pH range of sn-1,3 extracellular lipase from Aspergillus niger GZUF36 (EXANL1). • CLEA strategy improved the tolerance of EXANL1 in polar organic solvents. • CLEA strategy caused no change in the positional selectivity of EXANL1.

Abstract
Research background Pectinase enzyme has become a valuable compound in beverage industry. One of the most significant concepts to overcome the drawbacks of using industrial enzymes is their immobilization. In the present study, magnetic chitosan microparticles were utilized as a substrate for pectinase immobilization. New methods of enzyme immobilization involve the use of non-chemical cross-linkers between the enzyme and the substrate. The aim of this study is to immobilize the pectinase enzyme using polyaldehyde kefiran as a macromolecular cross-linker on magnetic particles. Experimental approach Pectinase was immobilized in four steps: relative oxidation of kefiran and its application as a cross-linker, production of magnetic iron(II) iron(III) oxide (Fe3O4) microparticles, coating of magnetic Fe3O4 microparticles with chitosan, and immobilization of the enzyme on the substrate, prepared by the use of oxidized kefiran cross-linker. Parameters such as cross-linking concentration, time and ratio of chitosan magnetic microparticles to enzyme were optimized. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer were used to identify the groups and investigate the structures. The biochemical properties (stability of enzyme activity at different pH, temperature and time), enzyme reusability, kinetic parameters (Km and νmax) and apple juice turbidity, using free and immobilized pectinase enzymes, were also measured. Results and conclusions Cross-linker concentration, cross-linking time and the ratio of magnetic Fe3O4 microparticles with chitosan to enzyme were important factors in activity recovery of pectinase. FTIR analysis correctly identified functional groups in the structures. The results showed that after enzyme stabilization, the particle size and molecular mass, respectively, increased and decreased the magnetic saturation strength. According to the thermal kinetic study, the activity of the immobilized pectinase was higher than of its free form. The findings of this study indicate excellent stability and durability of the immobilized pectinase. Finally, a magnetic pectinase micro-biocatalyst was used to clarify apple juice, which reduced turbidity during processing. Novelty and scientific contribution This study investigates the usage of kefiran oxidized as a new cross-linker for the immobilization of pectinase enzyme. Magnetic pectinase micro-biocatalyst has a good potential for industrial applications in the food industry, with high thermal stability.

Abstract
α-Galactosidases hold immense potential due to their biotechnological applications in various industrial and functional food sectors. In the present study, soluble and covalently cross-linked aggregated forms of a low molecular weight, thermo-labile α-galactosidase from Vigna mungo (VM-αGal) seeds were immobilized onto chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles for improved stability and repeated usage by magnetic separation. Parameters like precipitants (type, amount, and ratio), glutaraldehyde concentration, and enzyme load were optimized for the preparation of chitosan-coated magnetic nanocomposites of cross-linked VM-αGal (VM-αGal-MC) and VM-αGal (VM-αGal-M) resulted in 100% immobilization efficiency. Size and morphology of VM-αGal-M were studied through dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the chemical composition of VM-αGal-MC and VM-αGal-M. VM-αGal-MC and VM-αGal-M were found more active in a broad range of pH (3-8) and displayed optimal temperatures up to 25 °C higher than VM-αGal. Addition of non-ionic detergents (except Tween-40) improved VM-αGal-MC activity by up to 44% but negatively affected VM-αGal-M activity. Both VM-αGal-MC (15% residual activity after 21 min at 85 °C, Ed 92.42 kcal/mol) and VM-αGal-M (69.0% residual activity after 10 min at 75 °C, Ed 39.87 kcal/mol) showed remarkable thermal stability and repeatedly hydrolyzed the substrate for 10 cycles.

Abstract
In this study, a strain with rutin degrading enzyme (RDE) activity was screened from moldy tartary buckwheat and subsequently identified as Fusarium spp. The structure and enzyme characteristics of CLEA-RDE formed by immobilization via cross-linking were then investigated. Further, the optimal catalysis conditions of CLEA-RDE in natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) serving as hydrolysis solvents were also investigated. The results of SEM and spectrum indicated that CLEA-RDE became more stable than free-RDE due to the cross-linking. Interestingly, CLEA-RDE showed a wider range of pH adaptation and higher tolerance to low temperatures (20 – 30°C) and hydrophobic environments. The results of orthogonal experiments revealed that the optimal condition for rutin hydrolysis was under pH 5.0 and 40oC with the degradation rate of 10.65 mg min−1 L−1. The preparation of CLEA-RDE without a carrier-based immobilization method reduces the loss of enzyme activity, improves the stability of the enzyme and can be applied to the investigation of immobilization of various enzymes, thus providing a referred idea for the improvement of catalysts in industrial production.

Abstract
During the past several years, abundant progresses has been made in the development of immobilized oxidative enzymes with focus on finding new support materials, improving the immobilization methods and their applications. Nowadays, immobilized oxidative enzymes are broadly accepted as a green way to face the challenge of high amounts of micropollutants in nature. Among all oxidative enzymes, laccases and horseradish peroxidase were used frequently in recent years as they are general oxidative enzymes with ability to oxidize various types of compounds. Immobilized laccase or horseradish peroxidase are showed better stability, and reusability as well as easy separation from reaction mixture that make them more favorable and economic in compared to free enzymes. However, additional improvements are still essential such as: development of the new materials for immobilization with higher capacity, easy preparation, and cheaper price. Moreover, immobilization methods are still need improving to become more efficient and avoid enzyme wasting during immobilization and enzyme leakage through working cycles.

Abstract
A novel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-degrading strain Bacillus cereus RA23 was isolated from an oil sludge sample and environmental factors affecting its PVA degradation efficiency were optimized in detail. Inorganic nitrogen source, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), was found to be the best nitrogen source and enhanced the PVA degradation rate greatly. The optimal medium for PVA biodegradation consisted of (g/L) PVA 1, NH4Cl 1, K2HPO4 1.6, MgSO4·7H2O 0.05, FeSO4·6H2O 0.02, CaCl2 0.05, NaCl 0.02. The optimal temperature and pH for PVA biodegradation by strain RA23 was 28 °C and 7.0, respectively, and 85% of 0.1% PVA was degraded after 5 days under these conditions. FTIR studies showed that the carboxylic acids (possibly including aldehyde or ketone) could be the intermediate product of PVA biodegradation. The investigation of strain RA23 for PVA degradation will provide important information to facilitate the removal of wastewater pollution in industrial zones.

Abstract
In this study, hydrazine treated acrylic fabrics (polyacrylonitrile, PAN) activated with cyanuric chloride was developed as supporting material for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilization. The immobilization of HRP onto the modified supporting material was achieved after being end-over-end incubated for 12 h. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to confirm the successful immobilization. Reusability experiment was performed to estimate the ability of the immobilized HRP to recover the reaction medium, in which it was observed to retain 78% of its original activity after 10 cycles. Relative to the soluble HRP, the optimum pH and temperature for the immobilized HRP were shifted to 7-7.5 and 50 °C, respectively. The kinetic parameters of guaiacol and H2O2 for the immobilized HRP were determined to be Km/Vmax = 57.61, 11.35 and Kcat/Km = 1.87, 1.86, respectively, while the values for the free form were Km/Vmax = 41.49, 6.23 and Kcat/Km = 1.87, 1.86, respectively. Compared to the soluble form, the immobilized HRP exhibited higher resistance toward metal ions and some organic solvents. For an application perspective. The immobilization of HRP using this procedure has the potential to be used for industrial application and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In order to determine total biogenic amines in fermented foods, the combined cross-linked enzyme aggregates of a monoamine oxidase and a putrescine oxidase (combi-CLEAs) and the cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of the fused enzyme of two amine oxidases (MonoAmine Putrescien Oxidase, MAPO) were prepared. The effects of various parameters were examined to optimize the CLEAs formation. Biochemical characterization and stability of free and the CLEAs enzymes were performed. Through optimization of the CLEAs formation condition, the combi-CLEAs and the CLEAs-MAPO were prepared with 82% and 78% of residual activities relative to the activities of the subjected enzymes were in a preparative scale. The optimal pH for tyramine-activities of the CLEAs enzymes were shifted to relatively basic pH, leading to synchronization of the optimal performances of combi-CLEAs over pH for tyramine and putrescine. In addition, thermostability of the CLEAs enzymes were improved with almost double half-lives at 65 °C in comparison to the free enzymes. The catalytic efficiencies of combi-CLEAs for tyramine, histamine and putrescine were reduced by 41%, 56%, and 31%, respectively, and the inhibition potency by the substrate was reduced by two-fold in comparison of the mixed free enzymes. In conclusion, combi-CLEAs are a promising catalyst with the improved stability and the same optimum pH for dual activities in enzymatic determination of biogenic amines in foods.

Abstract
β-glucosidases are ubiquitous, well-characterized and biologically important enzymes with considerable uses in industrial sectors. Here, a tetrameric β-glucosidase from Exiguobacterium antarcticum B7 (EaBglA) was immobilized on different activated agarose supports followed by post-immobilization with poly-functional macromolecules. The best result was obtained by the immobilization of EaBglA on metal glutaraldehyde-activated agarose support following cross-linking with polyethylenimine. Interestingly, the immobilized EaBglA was 46-fold more stable than its free form and showed optimum pH in the acidic region, with high catalytic activity in the pH range from 3 to 9, while the free EaBglA showed catalytic activity in a narrow pH range (>80% at pH 6.0–8.0) and optimum pH at 7.0. EaBglA had the optimum temperature changed from 30 °C to 50 °C with the immobilization step. The immobilized EaBglA showed an expressive adaptation to pH and it was tolerant to ethanol and glucose, indicating suitable properties involving the saccharification process. Even after 9 cycles of reuse, the immobilized β-glucosidase retained about 100% of its initial activity, demonstrating great operational stability. Hence, the current study describes an efficient strategy to increase the functional characteristics of a tetrameric β-glucosidase for future use in the bioethanol production.
