Abstract
Bioremediation uses the degradation abilities of microorganisms and other organisms to remove harmful pollutants that pollute the natural environment, helping return it to a natural state that is free of harmful substances. Organism-derived enzymes can degrade and eliminate a variety of pollutants and transform them into non-toxic forms; as such, they are expected to be used in bioremediation. However, since enzymes are proteins, the low operational stability and catalytic efficiency of free enzyme-based degradation systems need improvement. Enzyme immobilization methods are often used to overcome these challenges. Several enzyme immobilization methods have been applied to improve operational stability and reduce remediation costs. Herein, we review recent advancements in immobilized enzymes for bioremediation and summarize the methods for preparing immobilized enzymes for use as catalysts and in pollutant degradation systems. Additionally, the advantages, limitations, and future perspectives of immobilized enzymes in bioremediation are discussed.

Abstract
Manganese peroxidase (MnP) offers significant potential in various environmental and industrial applications; however, its reliance on Mn2+ ions for electron shuttling limits its use in Mn2+-deficient systems. Herein, a novel approach is presented to address this limitation by co-immobilizing MnP and Mn2+ in silica gels. These gels were synthesized following the standard sol-gel method and found to effectively immobilize Mn2+ ions, primarily through electrostatic interactions. The MnP co-immobilized with Mn2+ ions in the silica gel exhibited 4-5 times higher activity than the MnP immobilized alone in activity assays, and generated Mn3+ within the gel, indicating the immobilized Mn2+ ions remain capable of shuttling electrons to the co-immobilized MnP. In decolorization tests with two organic dyes, the co-immobilized system also outperformed the MnP immobilized without Mn2+ ions, resulting in 2-4 times higher dye removals. This study will enable a broader application of MnP enzymes in sustainable environmental remediation and industrial catalysis.

Magnetically separable laccase-biochar composite enable highly efficient adsorption-degradation of quinolone antibiotics: Immobilization, removal performance and mechanisms.

Abstract
The tremendous potential of hybrid technologies for the elimination of quinolone antibiotics has recently attracted considerable attention. This current work prepared a magnetically modified biochar (MBC) immobilized laccase product named LC-MBC through response surface methodology (RSM), and LC-MBC showed an excellent capacity in the removal of norfloxacin (NOR), enrofloxacin (ENR) and moxifloxacin (MFX) from aqueous solution. The superior pH, thermal, storage and operational stability demonstrated by LC-MBC revealed its potential for sustainable application. The removal efficiencies of LC-MBC in the presence of 1 mM 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) for NOR, ENR and MFX were 93.7 %, 65.4 % and 77.0 % at pH 4 and 40 °C after 48 h reaction, respectively, which were 1.2, 1.3 and 1.3 times higher than those of MBC under the same conditions. The synergistic effect of adsorption by MBC and degradation by laccase dominated the removal of quinolone antibiotics by LC-MBC. Pore-filling, electrostatic, hydrophobic, π-π interactions, surface complexation and hydrogen bonding contributed in the adsorption process. The attacks on the quinolone core and piperazine moiety were involved in the degradation process. This study underscored the possibility of immobilization of laccase on biochar for enhanced remediation of quinolone antibiotics-contaminated wastewater. The proposed physical adsorption-biodegradation system (LC-MBC-ABTS) provided a novel perspective for the efficient and sustainable removal of antibiotics in actual wastewater through combined multi-methods.

Abstract
In the continual march to a predominantly urbanized civilization, anthropogenic activities have increased scrupulously, industrialization have occurred, economic growth has increased, and natural resources are being exploited, causing huge waste management problems, disposal issues, and the evolution of several pollutants. In order to have a sustainable environment, these pollutants need to be removed and degraded. Bioremediation employing microorganisms or enzymes can be used to treat the pollutants by degrading and/or transforming the pollutants into different form which is less or non-toxic to the environment. Laccase is a diverse enzyme/biocatalyst belonging to the oxidoreductase group of enzymes produced by microorganisms. Due to its low substrate specificity and monoelectronic oxidation of substrates in a wide range of complexes, it is most commonly used to degrade chemical pollutants. For degradation of emerging pollutants, laccase can be efficiently employed; however, large-scale application needs reusability, thermostability, and operational stability which necessitated strategies like immobilization and engineering of robust laccase possessing desirable properties. Immobilization of laccase for bioremediation, and treatment of wastewater for degrading emerging pollutants have been focussed for sustainable development. Challenges of employing biocatalysts for these applications as well as engineering robust laccase have been highlighted in this study.

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.

Abstract
We are facing a high risk of exposure to emerging contaminants and increasing environmental pollution with the concomitant growth of industries. Persistence of these pollutants is a major concern to the ecosystem. Laccases, also known as "green catalysts" are multi-copper oxidases which offers an eco-friendly solution for the degradation of these hazardous pollutants to less or non-toxic compounds. Although various other biological methods exist for the treatment of pollutants, the fact that laccases catalyze the oxidation of broad range of substrates in the presence of molecular oxygen without any additional cofactor and releases water as the by-product makes them exceptional. They have a good possibility of utilization in various industries, especially for the purpose of bioremediation. Besides this, they have also been used in medical/health care, food industry, bio-bleaching, wine stabilization, organic synthesis and biosensors. This review covers the catalytic behaviour of laccases, their immobilization strategies, potential applications in bioremediation of recalcitrant environmental pollutants and their engineering. It provides a comprehensive summary of most factors to consider while working with laccases in an industrial setting. It compares the benefits and drawbacks of the current techniques. Immobilization and mediators, two of the most significant aspects in working with laccases, have been meticulously discussed.

Abstract
The laccase-mediator is a promising biocatalyst with many possible applications, including bioremediation, chemical synthesis, biobleaching of paper pulp, biosensing, textile finishing and wine stabilization. The immobilization of laccase and the mediator offers several improvements for laccase-mediator system applications because the storage and operational stabilities are frequently enhanced. Moreover, the reusability of the immobilized laccase and mediator represents a great advantage compared with the free laccase and mediator. In this work, we review the methods of co-immobilization of the laccase-mediator system for the first time systematically and comprehensively. In addition, we discuss the different methodologies of laccase and mediator immobilization that have been reported.

Abstract
Laccases are a group of copper-containing oxidase enzymes found in aquatic and terrestrial environment. They can catalyze one-electron oxidation of phenolic compounds to radical intermediates using molecular oxygen as the electron accepter. The radical intermediates can subsequently couple to each other to form dimers. In this study, we investigated the kinetics of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) transformation in laccase-catalyzed oxidation process. It was revealed that the removal of TBBPA was first order to the concentrations of both substrate and laccase. Natural organic matter (NOM) inhibited the reaction by reversing the oxidation of TBBPA. Such inhibition effect was more significant in the presence of Ca2+, Mg2+, Cd2+, Mn2+, and Co2+, but not Na+ or K+. This was because of the formation of NOM-metal complexes. Binding to metal ions neutralizes the negative charge of NOM, making it easier to access laccase molecules and thus have a greater chance to react with the radical intermediates. A numerical model that couples the laccase-catalyzed oxidation and NOM-metal-binding processes was constructed. This model successfully described the transformation of TBBPA in the presence of NOM and divalent metal ions in laccase-catalyzed oxidation process. Product identification indicated radical coupling and elimination was the main pathway of TBBPA transformation. Overall, this work provides important sights into the laccase-catalyzed oxidation process.

Abstract
All kinds of wastewaters containing steroid estrogens (SEs) and mixed endogenous source dissolved organic matter (DOM) enter natural water environments with intermittent illumination where microbial action occurs in a relatively deep natural aqueous environment. The role of mixed endogenous source DOM in SEs' biodegradation and photochemical degradation in such environments was studied using 17β-estradiol (E2) in laboratory experiments under anaerobic conditions. The experimental results show that microbial action can improve the optical properties and electron transfer capability of mixed endogenous source DOM, promoting photodegradation and biodegradation. Intermittent illumination attenuates DOM's electron transfer capacity and its chromophore groups, but it improves the bioavailability of low molecular weight dissolved organic matter which promotes microbial growth under anaerobic conditions. DOM-mediated co-degradation by light and microbial action over three days was better than either individually. The presence of Fe(III) promoted electron transfer, and Fe(III)-DOM complexes accelerated energy transfer under irradiation, enhancing photodegradation. Any remaining estrogens will continue to degrade, most effectively in well-aerated waters with sufficient illumination.

The potential of acetylacetone (AA) as a mediator of laccase has been tested in the enzymatic transformation of malachite green (MG). AA inhibited the laccase-induced transformation of MG at the beginning of incubation but extended the working life of laccase in long runs. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, the transformation of MG in the laccase-AA system was systematically investigated. The inhibition of AA on the enzymatic transformation of MG conformed to the partial mixed model. The transformation of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NTB) was identified as the rate-controlling step in the laccase system. The generated NTB was oxidized to NTB+ by laccase, which acted as a redox mediator to accelerate the transformation of MG. The addition of AA to the enzymatic system quenched the NTB+ by forming an intermediate complex of AA-NTB. This quenching reaction led to two contrary effects: the acceleration caused by NTB+ in the enzymatic transformation of MG was inhibited whereas the formation of AA-NTB complex enhanced the further transformation at the later stage. As a result, less laccase was consumed, which explained the extended working life of laccase in the long runs. The understanding of these mechanisms are helpful for the better use of laccase as a green biocatalyst.

Abstract
The application of laccase-mediator-based catalysis is limited owing to the high cost of laccases and mediators and the potential toxicity of free mediators. Here, a novel biocatalyst (Im-LMS) was fabricated by immobilizing both laccase and a mediator (2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenzothiazoline]-6-sulfonic acid) on layered double hydroxide/alginate biohybrid beads. The catalytic activity of Im-LMS was evaluated for dye decolorization using malachite green. The decolorization yields of malachite green by Im-LMS and the free laccase-mediator system were 92% within 120 min and 90% within 90 min. Malachite green solution was detoxified completely after biodegradation by Im-LMS. Following eight reuse cycles of Im-LMS for dye treatment, a decolorization yield of 79% was obtained. The activity of Im-LMS was almost completely stable after being stored for 10 days. The recyclability and stability of Im-LMS will be helpful for reducing the running cost and potential toxicity associated with mediators to facilitate practical applications.

[PMID: 28574450 PMCID: PMC6152645 DOI: 10.3390/molecules22060920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2017] [Revised: 05/31/2017] [Accepted: 05/31/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The successful encapsulation of 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), a well-known laccase mediator, within a mesoporous metal-organic framework sample (i.e., MIL-100(Fe)) was achieved using a one-pot hydrothermal synthetic method. The as-prepared ABTS@MIL-100(Fe) was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nitrogen sorption, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Our ABTS@MIL-100(Fe)-based electrode exhibited an excellent electrochemical response, indicating that MIL-100(Fe) provides an appropriate microenvironment for the immobilization and electroactivity of ABTS molecules. ABTS@MIL-100(Fe) was then evaluated as an immobilized laccase mediator for dye removal using indigo carmine (IC) as a model dye. Through the application of laccase in combination with a free (ABTS) or immobilized (ABTS@MIL-100(Fe)) mediator, decolorization yields of 95% and 94%, respectively, were obtained for IC after 50 min. In addition, following seven reuse cycles of ABTS@MIL-100(Fe) for dye treatment, a decolorization yield of 74% was obtained. Dye decolorization occurred through the breakdown of the chromophoric group by the Laccase/ABTS@MIL-100(Fe) system, and a catalytic mechanism was proposed. We therefore expect that the stability, reusability, and validity of ABTS@MIL-100(Fe) as a laccase mediator potentially render it a promising tool for dye removal, in addition to reducing the high running costs and potential toxicity associated with synthetic mediators.

Abstract
Laccase is a widely present extracellular phenoloxidase excreted by fungi, bacteria, and high plants. It is able to catalyze one-electron oxidation of phenolic compounds into radical intermediates that can subsequently couple to each other via covalent bonds. These reactions are believed to play an important role in humification process and the transformation of contaminants containing phenolic functionalities in the environment. In this study, we investigated the kinetics of triclosan transformation catalyzed by laccase. It was found that the rate of triclosan oxidation was first order to the concentrations of both substrate and enzyme. Humic acid (HA) could inhibit the reaction by quenching the radical intermediate of triclosan generated by laccase oxidation. Such inhibition was more significant in the presence of divalent metal cations. This is because that binding to metal ions neutralized the negative charge of HA molecules, thus making them more accessible to laccase molecule that is also negatively charged. Therefore, it has greater chance to quench the radical intermediate that is very unstable and can only diffuse a limited distance after being released from the enzyme catalytic center. Based on these understandings, a reaction model was developed by integration of metal-HA binding equilibriums and kinetic equations. This model precisely predicted the transformation rate of triclosan in the presence of HA and divalent metal ions including Ca2+, Mg2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, and Zn2+. Overall, this work reveals important insights into laccase catalyzed oxidative coupling process.
