Abstract
The synergistic combination of current biotechnological and nanotechnological research has turned to multienzyme co-immobilization as a promising concept to design biocatalysis engineering. It has also intensified the development and deployment of multipurpose biocatalysts, for instance, multienzyme co-immobilized constructs, via biocatalysis/protein engineering to scale-up and fulfil the ever-increasing industrial demands. Considering the characteristic features of both the loaded multienzymes and nanostructure carriers, i.e., selectivity, specificity, stability, resistivity, induce activity, reaction efficacy, multi-usability, high catalytic turnover, optimal yield, ease in recovery, and cost-effectiveness, multienzyme-based green biocatalysts have become a powerful norm in biocatalysis/protein engineering sectors. In this context, the current state-of-the-art in enzyme engineering with a synergistic combination of nanotechnology, at large, and nanomaterials, in particular, are significantly contributing and providing robust tools to engineer and/or tailor enzymes to fulfil the growing catalytic and contemporary industrial needs. Considering the above critics and unique structural, physicochemical, and functional attributes, herein, we spotlight important aspects spanning across prospective nano-carriers for multienzyme co-immobilization. Further, this work comprehensively discuss the current advances in deploying multienzyme-based cascade reactions in numerous sectors, including environmental remediation and protection, drug delivery systems (DDS), biofuel cells development and energy production, bio-electroanalytical devices (biosensors), therapeutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical oriented applications. In conclusion, the continuous developments in nano-assembling the multienzyme loaded co-immobilized nanostructure carriers would be a unique way that could act as a core of modern biotechnological research.

Abstract
Enzymes are biocatalysts known for versatility, selectivity, and brand operating conditions compared to chemical catalysts. However, there are limitations to their large-scale application, such as the high costs of enzymes and their low stability under extreme reaction conditions. Immobilization techniques can efficiently solve these problems; nevertheless, most current methods lead to a significant loss of enzymatic activity and require several steps of activation and functionalization of the supports. In this context, a new form of immobilization has been studied: forming organic-inorganic hybrids between metal phosphates as inorganic parts and enzymes as organic parts. Compared to traditional immobilization methods, the advantages of these nanomaterials are high surface area, simplicity of synthesis, high stability, and catalytic activity. The current study presents an overview of organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers and their applications in enzymatic catalysis.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is a well-known method for the improvement of enzyme reusability and stability. To achieve very high effectiveness of the enzyme immobilization, not only does the method of attachment need to be optimized, but the appropriate support must be chosen. The essential necessities addressed to the support applied for enzyme immobilization can be focused on the material features as well as on the stability and resistances in certain conditions. Ceramic membranes and nanoparticles are the most widespread supports for enzyme immobilization. Hence, the immobilization of enzymes on ceramic membrane and nanoparticles are summarized and discussed. The important properties of the supports are particle size, pore structure, active surface area, volume to surface ratio, type and number of reactive available groups, as well as thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability. The modifiers and the crosslinkers are crucial to the enzyme loading amount, the chemical and physical stability, and the reusability and catalytical activity of the immobilized enzymes. Therefore, the chemical and physical methods of modification of ceramic materials are presented. The most popular and used modifiers (e.g. APTES, CPTES, VTES) as well as activating agents (GA, gelatin, EDC and/or NHS) applied to the grafting process are discussed. Moreover, functional groups of enzymes are presented and discussed since they play important roles in the enzyme immobilization via covalent bonding. The enhanced physical, chemical, and catalytical properties of immobilized enzymes are discussed revealing the positive balance between the effectiveness of the immobilization process, preservation of high enzyme activity, its good stability, and relatively low cost.

Abstract
A review on the enzyme β-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis is presented, from the perspective of its structure and mechanisms of action, the main catalyzed reactions, the key factors influencing its activity, and selectivity, as well as the main techniques used for improving the biocatalyst functionality. Particular attention was given to the discussion of hydrolysis, transglycosylation, and galactosylation reactions, which are commonly mediated by this enzyme. In addition, the products generated from these processes were highlighted. Finally, biocatalyst improvement techniques are also discussed, such as enzyme immobilization and protein engineering. On these topics, the most recent immobilization strategies are presented, emphasizing processes that not only allow the recovery of the biocatalyst but also deliver enzymes that show better resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, and inhibitors. In addition, genetic engineering techniques to improve the catalytic properties of the β-galactosidases were reported. This review gathers information to allow the development of biocatalysts based on the β-galactosidase enzyme from K. lactis, aiming to improve existing bioprocesses or develop new ones.

Immobilization of β-galactosidase by halloysite-adsorption and entrapment in a cellulose nanocrystals matrix. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2021; 1865:129896.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immobilization allows easy recovery and reuse of enzymes in industrial processes. In addition, it may enhance enzyme stability, allowing prolonged use. A simple and novel method of immobilizing β-galactosidase is reported. Effects of immobilization on the enzyme characteristics are explained. β-Galactosidase is well established in dairy processing and has emerging applications in novel syntheses. METHODS β-Galactosidase was immobilized by physical adsorption on halloysite, an aluminosilicate nanomaterial. Optimal conditions for adsorption were identified. The optimally prepared halloysite-adsorbed enzyme was then entrapped in a porous matrix of nanocrystals of sulfated bacterial cellulose, to further enhance stability. RESULTS Under optimal conditions, 89.5% of the available protein was adsorbed per mg of halloysite. The most active and stable final immobilized biocatalyst had 1 part by mass of the enzyme-supporting halloysite particles mixed with 2 parts of cellulose nanocrystals. Immobilization raised the optimal pH of the catalyst to 7.5 (from 6.0 for the native enzyme) and temperature to 55 °C (40 °C for the native enzyme). During storage at 25 °C, the immobilized enzyme retained 75.8% of initial activity after 60 days compared to 29.2% retained by the free enzyme. CONCLUSION The immobilization method developed in this work enhanced enzyme stability during catalysis and storage. Up to 12 cycles of repeated use of the catalyst became feasible. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The simple and rapid immobilization strategy of this work is broadly applicable to enzymes used in diverse bioconversions.

Abstract
We report the preparation, characterization and application of a novel magnetic four-enzyme nanobiocatalyst prepared by the simultaneous covalent co-immobilization of cellulase (CelDZ1), β-glucosidase (bgl), glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto the surface of amino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). This nanobiocatalyst was characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The co-immobilization process yielded maximum recovered enzymatic activity (CelDZ1: 42%, bgl: 66%, GOx: 94% and HRP: 78%) at a 10% v/v cross-linker concentration, after 2 h incubation time and at 1:1 mass ratio of MNPs to total enzyme content. The immobilization process leads to an increase of Km and a decrease of Vmax values of co-immobilized enzymes. The thermal stability studies of the co-immobilized enzymes indicated up to 2-fold increase in half-life time constants and up to 1.5-fold increase in their deactivation energies compared to the native enzymes. The enhanced thermodynamic parameters of the four-enzyme co-immobilized MNPs also suggested increment in their thermal stability. Furthermore, the co-immobilized enzymes retained a significant part of their activity (up to 50%) after 5 reaction cycles at 50 °C and remained active even after 24 d of incubation at 5 °C. The nanobiocatalyst was successfully applied in a four-step cascade reaction involving the hydrolysis of cellulose.

Abstract
Dextran aldehyde (dexOx), resulting from the periodate oxidative cleavage of 1,2-diol moiety inside dextran, is a polymer that is very useful in many areas, including as a macromolecular carrier for drug delivery and other biomedical applications. In particular, it has been widely used for chemical engineering of enzymes, with the aim of designing better biocatalysts that possess improved catalytic properties, making them more stable and/or active for different catalytic reactions. This polymer possesses a very flexible hydrophilic structure, which becomes inert after chemical reduction; therefore, dexOx comes to be highly versatile in a biocatalyst design. This paper presents an overview of the multiple applications of dexOx in applied biocatalysis, e.g., to modulate the adsorption of biomolecules on carrier surfaces in affinity chromatography and biosensors design, to serve as a spacer arm between a ligand and the support in biomacromolecule immobilization procedures or to generate artificial microenvironments around the enzyme molecules or to stabilize multimeric enzymes by intersubunit crosslinking, among many other applications.

Abstract
The behavior of mixed samples (activated sludge and wastewater) was investigated after the addition of magnetite nanoparticles (NP-magnetite) in jar tests, with objective to increase the aggregation of sludge and improve its settleability, aiming for future application in granular sequencing batch reactors. The NP-magnetite was synthesized by the method of ion co-precipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ and characterized. The process of sludge sedimentation was evaluated for two different experimental strategies, with NP-magnetite concentrations between 25 and 150 mg L-1. The concentration of 75 mg L-1 was the most favorable to process, as evidenced by sludge volumetric index and density. The results presented indicate that the addition of nanoparticles has the potential to improve aerobic granular systems, increasing the settleability of seed sludge.
