Aktayeva S, Khassenov B. New Bacillus paralicheniformis strain with high proteolytic and keratinolytic activity. Sci Rep 2024; 14:22621. [PMID: 39349615 PMCID: PMC11444040 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-73468-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Bacillus paralicheniformis T7, which exhibits high proteolytic and keratinolytic activities, was isolated from soil in Kazakhstan. Its secreted proteases were thermostable and alkaline, demonstrating maximum activity at 70 °C and pH 9.0. The proteases and keratinases of this strain were sensitive to Ni2+, Co2+, Mn2+, and Cd2+, with Cu2+, Co2+ and Cd2+ negatively affecting keratinolytic activity, and Fe3+ ions have a strong inhibitory effect on proteolytic and keratinolytic activity. Seven proteases were identified in the enzymatic extract of B. paralicheniformis T7: four from the serine peptidase family and three from the metallopeptidase family. The proteases hydrolyzed 1 mg of casein, hemoglobin, gelatin, ovalbumin, bovine serum albumin, or keratin within 15 s to 30 min. The high keratinolytic activity of this strain was confirmed through the degradation of chicken feathers, horns, hooves, wool, and cattle hide. Chicken feathers were hydrolyzed in 4 days, and the degrees of hydrolysis for cattle hide, wool, hoof, and horn after 7 days of cultivation were 97.2, 34.5, 29.6, and 3.6%, respectively. During submerged fermentation with feather medium in a laboratory bioreactor, the strain secreted enzymes with 249.20 ± 7.88 U/mL protease activity after 24 h. Thus, B. paralicheniformis T7 can be used to produce proteolytic and keratinolytic enzymes for application in processing proteinaceous raw materials and keratinous animal waste.

Abstract
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are vital components of human and animal nutrition that contribute to the building blocks of proteins. In this study, 170 protease-producing strains were isolated and screened from soy-fermented foods. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NY130 was obtained from Cheonggukjang with high production of BCAAs. Optimal production of protease from B. amyloliquefaciens NY130 (protease NY130) was achieved at 42 °C and pH 6.0 for 21 h. It was purified and determined as 27- and 40 kDa. Protease NY130 showed maximum activity at pH 9.0 and 45 °C with Km value of 10.95 mg for ISP and 1.69 mg for WPI. Protease-treated ISP and WPI showed increased sweetness and saltiness via electronic tongue analysis and enhanced the protective effect against oxidative stress in C2C12 myocytes by increasing p-mTOR/mTOR protein expression to 160%. This work possesses potential in producing BCAAs by using protease for utilization in food.

Abstract
Microbial alkaline proteases are dominating the global enzyme market with a share of over 65% due to their multifarious catalytic potentials. Hence, production of proteases with novel properties of commercial significance is highly desirable to meet the global enzyme demand. Here, we report the purification, characterization, and pilot-scale application of a serine protease from the desert soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis ZMS-2 with novel properties as dehairing agent in leather processing. The enzyme was purified 16.5-fold with a specific activity of 1543.5 U mg-1 and recovery percentage of 33.6% using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange, and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme was characterized as a metal ion-, surfactant-, and denaturant-compatible alkaline serine protease having a molecular weight of 36.1 kDa with an optimum activity at pH 8.5 and 60 °C. The catalytic activity of the enzyme was enhanced by Zn+2 (204%), Ag+ (110%), H2O2 (123%), Triton X-100 (110%), iso-octane (109%), chloroform (110%), ethanol (105%), ethyl acetate (110%), and acetonitrile (128%). During pilot-scale applications, the optimum condition was found to be a combination of enzyme (1.5%, 460 U mL-1), sodium sulfide (2%), and calcium hydroxide (lime) (3%). Under this condition, the time required for complete dehairing was 90 min. Chemoenzymatically processed skins exhibited better physical properties than chemically processed skin, including tensile strength (16.35 ± 6.68 N/mm), ball burst (452.88 ± 6.06 N/mm), percent elongation (38.85 ± 1.06 N), tear strength (50.16 ± 4.42 N/mm), and softness (6.5 mm). Electron microscopy analysis of the treated skin showed complete removal of hairs with roots, confirming the keratin specificity of the enzyme. Moreover, the enzyme-assisted dehairing process reduced chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) by 68, 77, 34, and 39%, respectively. Thus, the alkaline serine protease from B. subtilis ZMS-2 is a potential dehairing agent for the eco-friendly processing of animal skins on industrial scales.

Abstract
In the current work, a novel thermophilic serine protease gene (P3862) from Ornithinibacillus caprae L9T was functionally expressed in Bacillus subtilis SCK6. The monomeric enzyme of about 29 kDa was purified to homogeneity with 43.91% of recovery and 2.81-folds of purification. Characterization of the purified protease revealed the optimum activity at pH 7 and 65 °C. The protease exhibited excellent activity and stability in the presence of Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, ethanediol, n-hexane, Tween-20, Tween-80 and Triton X-100. P3862 displayed favorable caseinolytic activity, moderate keratinolytic activity but no collagenolytic activity. Besides, the homology model of P3862 possessed a globular configuration and characteristic of α/β hydrolase fold, and displayed stable interactions with casein, glycoprotein and keratin rather than collagen. Moreover, the crude enzyme could completely dehair goatskin within 6 h, resulting in decrease in BOD5, COD and TSS loads by 72.86, 74.07, and 73.79%, respectively, as compared with Na2S treatment. Biocatalytic applications revealed that it could effectively remove egg-stains from fabrics at 37 °C for 30 min with low supplementation (300 U/mL), and was able to degrade the feathers of duck and chicken. Overall, these outstanding properties make P3862 valuable in the development of environmentally friendly biotechnologies .

Abstract
The tannery industries utilize environmentally hazardous chemicals to achieve dehairing of animal hides, which causes enormous waterbed pollution & high TDS load. Alkaline protease enzyme for dehairing can be an effective solution to resolve the environmental problems of the tannery industry waste. However, stable, cost-efficient and eco-benign formulations of alkaline protease need to be developed for commercial applications in the tannery industry. This works aimed at development of a nano-formulation of the enzyme alkaline protease (AKP) as a bioconjugate nano silica-alkaline protease enzyme (BC-SiNP-AKP). This work reports one pot green synthesis of the BC-SiNP-AKP bionanoconjugate complex which included both biotemplating and immobilization of the AKP on to the synthesized silica nanoparticles from cell-free extracts of Bacillus circulans grown in potato peel based medium. Among the cell free crude, acetone concentrated and purified sols of the enzyme AKP, acetone precipitated enzyme sol was found to be best for the biological SiNP synthesis and formation of BC-SiNP-AKP conjugate. The BC-SiNP-AKP had size ranging from 100 to 200 nm with crystalline morphologies varying from spherical, tubular to laminated crystallites. The developed bioconjugate formulation displayed 1.7-fold increase in the enzyme activity post nano-conjugation with superlative dehairing potential on goat skin. The optimized parameters for dehairing were found to be as temperature 37 °C for 24 h of incubation and with enzyme to buffer ratio (2: 50 mL). Thereafter, the dehaired skin was assessed for its histopathological effects, which were found to be safe without any deteriorative changes. The developed formulation is environmentally congenial for its use as depilating agent for animal hides in terms of being green, single pot and cost effective synthesis.

Abstract
Simple Summary In the current investigation, we describe the characteristic features of a novel Bacillus megaterium bacterium-derived protease with excellent thermostable enzyme activity under stringent alkaline conditions. The protease is highly compatible with various detergents and thus appears to be an eco-friendly additive for a variety of industrial applications. Abstract An increased need by the green industry for enzymes that can be exploited for eco-friendly industrial applications led us to isolate and identify a unique protease obtained from a proteolytic Bacillus megaterium-TK1 strain from a seawater source. The extracellular thermostable serine protease was processed by multiple chromatography steps. The isolated protease displayed a relative molecular weight (MW) of 33 kDa (confirmed by zymography), optimal enzyme performance at pH 8.0, and maximum enzyme performance at 70 °C with 100% substrate specificity towards casein. The proteolytic action was blocked by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), a serine hydrolase inactivator. Protease performance was augmented by several bivalent metal cations. The protease tolerance was studied under stringent conditions with different industrial dispersants and found to be stable with Surf Excel, Tide, or Rin detergents. Moreover, this protease could clean blood-stained fabrics and showed dehairing activity for cow skin with significantly reduced pollution loads. Our results suggest that this serine protease is a promising additive for various eco-friendly usages in both the detergent and leather industries.

Abstract
In this study, a strain producing β-glucanase and protease, identified as Bacillus velezensis Y1, was isolated from the manure of piglet. We attempted to produce β-glucanase and protease after optimization of various process parameters with the submerged fermentation. The effects of each factor on producing β-glucanase and protease were as follows: temperature > time > pH > loaded liquid volume. The properties of the β-glucanase showed that the most suitable reaction temperature was 65 °C and pH was 6.0. However for protease optimum reaction temperature was 50 °C, and pH was 6.0. The amplified PCR fragments of β-glucanase and protease were 1434 bp containing an open reading frame of 1413 bp encoding a protein with 444 amino acids and 1752 bp containing an open reading frame of 1521 bp encoding a protein with 506 amino acids, respectively. So, the study demonstrated a viable approach of using newly identified B. velezensis Y1 strain for the maximum yield of two industrially important enzymes.

Abstract
Bacillus spp. are an affordable source of enzymes due to their wide distribution, safety in work, ease of cultivation, and susceptibility to genetic transformations. Researchers are particularly interested in proteolytic enzymes, which constitute one of the most diverse groups of microbial proteins in terms of properties. Despite the long history of their research, this group of enzymes continue to show great potential for practical application in the biomedical industry, as well as in the agricultural industry. Thus, the unique properties of bacillary proteinases, such as stability in a wide range of temperatures and pH, high specificity, biodegradability of a wide range of substrates, and the high potential of sequenced Bacillus genomes are a powerful foundation for the development of new biotechnologies. The current review aims to discuss recent studies on various enzymes in particular, proteinases produced by bacteria of the genus Bacillus, along with their prospective practical applications. This article also presents an interpretive summary of the recent developments on the usage of probiotic Bacillus strains as potential feed additives.

Abstract
Keratinase is capable of distinctive degradation of keratin, which provides an eco-friendly approach for keratin waste management towards sustainable development. In this study, the recombinant keratinase (KERBP) from Brevibacillus parabrevis was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified KERBP had the specific activity of 6005.3 U/mg. It showed remarkable tolerance to various surfactants and also no collagenolytic activity. However, the moderate thermal stability limited its further application. Thus, protein engineering was further adopted to improve its stability. The variants of T218S, S236C and N181D were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and combinatorial mutagenesis. Compared with the wild type, the t1/2 at 60 °C for the variants T218S, S236C and N181D were 3.05-, 1.18- and 1-fold increase, respectively. Moreover, the double variants N181D-T218S and N181D-S236C significantly improved thermostability with 5.1 and 2.9 °C increase of T50, and prolonging t1/2 at 60 °C with 4.09 and 1.54-fold, respectively. And the catalytic efficiency of the T218S and N181D-T218S variants was also significantly improved. Furthermore, the keratinase displayed favorable ability to dehair wool from skin within 7 h, which showed potential in leather dehairing. Our work contributes to a further insight into the thermostability of keratinase and offers a promising alternative for industrial leather application.

Abstract
An alkaline protease gene of Bacillus lehensis JO-26 from saline desert, Little Rann of Kutch, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). A 1,014-bp ORF encoded 337 amino acids. The recombinant protease (APrBL) with Asp 97, His 127, and Ser 280 forming catalytic triad belongs to the subtilase S8 protease family. The gene was optimally expressed in soluble fraction with 0.2 mM isopropyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), 2% (w/v) NaCl at 28°C. APrBL, a monomer with a molecular mass of 34.6 kDa was active over pH 8–11 and 30°C−70°C, optimally at pH 10 and 50°C. The enzyme was highly thermostable and retained 73% of the residual activity at 80°C up to 3 h. It was significantly stimulated by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Ca2+, chloroform, toluene, n-butanol, and benzene while completely inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and Hg2+. The serine nature of the protease was confirmed by its strong inhibition by PMSF. The APrBL gene was phylogenetically close to alkaline elastase YaB (P20724) and was distinct from the well-known commercial proteases subtilisin Carlsberg (CAB56500) and subtilisin BPN′ (P00782). The structural elucidation revealed 31.75% α-helices, 22.55% β-strands, and 45.70% coils. Although high glycine and fewer proline residues are a characteristic feature of the cold-adapted enzymes, the similar observation in thermally active APrBL suggests that this feature cannot be solely responsible for thermo/cold adaptation. The APrBL protease was highly effective as a detergent additive and in whey protein hydrolysis.

Abstract
The detergent-compatible alkaline protease was produced from the bacterial strain Bacillus sp. APP-07 isolated from Laundromat soil of Solapur, Maharashtra, India. The culture was grown in 1000 ml capacity baffled flask with a working volume of 100 ml and incubated at 55 °C for 33 h on a rotary shaker. After incubation, alkaline protease was partially purified by the sequential method of acetone precipitation followed by nominal molecular weight limit (NMWL) cut-off ultrafiltration using 50 K and 10 K filters. Finally, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatographic purification was performed to obtain 3.12 fold purified alkaline protease enzyme with a 66.67% final yield. The purified enzyme showed 31907.269 units (U) of enzyme activity containing 8741.718 U/mg of specific enzyme activity. The molecular weight of the enzyme was confirmed about 33.0 kDa (kDa) by the SDS-PAGE analysis. The purified enzyme was stable at higher pH and temperature range, with an optimum pH 10.5 and temperature 55 °C. The enzyme showed excellent stability and compatibility in various detergents, surfactants, bleach, and oxidizing agents. The enzyme activity enhanced in the presence of Ca2+, Cu2+, and surfactants, whereas; the phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (PMSF) and Diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) completely inhibit the enzymatic activity, which pointed out that the enzyme affiliated to serine-centered metalloproteases family. In conclusion, the remarkable tolerance and stability of the enzyme explored the promising candidature for the several potential applications in the laundry detergents. The sustainability of the enzyme might serve several possible applications in the laundry detergents, leather industries, and other harsh industrial processes.

Abstract
Proteases have gained special research place due to their broader activity spectrum and applied perspectives for different industrial sectors. The present research focused on three aims, i.e., (1) to identify the best protease producer strain among three different Aspergillus strains, (2) the development of protease-based cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) and (3) silver removal and dehairing potentialities of developed CLEAs. A. flavus gave optimum activity (98.50 U/mL) with the culture conditions (pH -7.5, 35 °C, inoculum 2.5 mL and fermentation time 48 h) by applying RSM under CCD. The protease-CLEAs were developed with recovery activity (37.45%) by optimizing conditions through RSM under CCD (80% ammonium sulfate, 65 mM glutaraldehyde, and 0.15 mM BSA). The adequacy of the model was checked by ANOVA, and the interactions among different variables were plotted using 3-D graphs. The characterization profile revealed high pH and thermal stability at pH -9 and 60 °C, respectively. The kinetic study revealed lower KM and higher Vmax values (31.02 μM and 91.16 U/mL, respectively) after CLEAs formation, as compared to the free protease (61.42 μM and 84.45 U/mL, respectively). By applying on X-ray film and animal hides, protease-CLEAs showed the best activity with minimum time as compared to free protease.
