Boruta T, Antecka A. Co-cultivation of filamentous microorganisms in the presence of aluminum oxide microparticles. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:5459-5477. [PMID: 35906994 PMCID: PMC9418094 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-12087-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
In the present work, the approaches of submerged co-cultivation and microparticle-enhanced cultivation (MPEC) were combined and evaluated over the course of three case studies. The filamentous fungus Aspergillus terreus was co-cultivated with Penicillium rubens, Streptomyces rimosus, or Cerrena unicolor in shake flasks with or without the addition of aluminum oxide microparticles. The influence of microparticles on the production of lovastatin, penicillin G, oxytetracycline, and laccase in co-cultures was compared with the effects recorded for the corresponding monocultures. In addition, the quantitative analyses of morphological parameters, sugars consumption, and by-products formation were performed. The study demonstrated that the influence of microparticles on the production of a given molecule in mono- and co-culture may differ considerably, e.g., the biosynthesis of oxytetracycline was shown to be inhibited due to the presence of aluminum oxide in "A. terreus vs. S. rimosus" co-cultivation variants but not in S. rimosus monocultures. The differences were also observed regarding the morphological characteristics, e.g., the microparticles-induced changes of projected area in the co-cultures and the corresponding monocultures were not always comparable. In addition, the study showed the importance of medium composition on the outcomes of MPEC, as exemplified by lovastatin production in A. terreus monocultures. Finally, the co-cultures of A. terreus with a white-rot fungus C. unicolor were described here for the first time. KEY POINTS: • Aluminum oxide affects secondary metabolites production in submerged co-cultures. • Mono- and co-cultures are differently impacted by the addition of aluminum oxide. • Effect of aluminum oxide on metabolites production depends on medium composition.

Purification and biochemical characterization of a new thermostable laccase from Enterococcus faecium A2 by a three-phase partitioning method and investigation of its decolorization potential. Arch Microbiol 2022; 204:533. [PMID: 35906438 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-022-03054-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Three-phase partitioning (TPP) is a simple, fast, cost-effective, and highly efficient process that can be used in the purification of laccases. In this study, microorganisms with laccase activity were isolated from water samples collected from the Agri-Diyadin hot spring. The isolate with the highest laccase activity was found to be the A2 strain. As a result of molecular (16S rRNA sequence) and conventional (morphological, biochemical, and physiological) analyses, it was determined that the A2 isolate was 99% similar to Enterococcus faecium (Genbank number: MH424896). The laccase was purified to 4.9-fold with 110% recovery using the TPP. The molecular mass of the enzyme was found by SDS-PAGE to be 50.11 kDa. Optimum pH 6.0 and optimum temperature for laccase were determined as 80 °C. The laccase exhibited pH stability over a wide range (pH 3.0-9.0) and a high thermostability, retaining over 90% of its activity after 1 h of incubation at 20-90 °C. The laccase exhibited high thermostability, with a heat inactivation half-life of approximately 24 h at 80 °C. The enzyme remained highly stable in the presence of surfactants and increased its activity in the presence of organic solvents, Cr2+, Cu2+, and Ag+ metal ions. The Km, Vmax, kcat, and kcat/Km values of laccase for 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) substrate were 0.68 mM, 5.29 μmol mL-1 min-1, 110.2 s-1, and 162.1 s-1 mM-1, respectively.

Abstract
The production of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO), a dialcohol of great interest for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industry, through the fermentation of biomass, is a sustainable process strategic position for countries with abundant biomass generated by the agribusiness. However, the downstream process of 2,3-BDO is onerous due to the complexity of fermentation broth and the physical-chemical characteristics of the 2,3-BDO. This study investigated the feasibility of 2,3-BDO extraction from model aqueous solutions using aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). A central composite rotational design (CCRD) was employed to evaluate different ATPS compositions and the influences on the 2,3-BDO recovery and partition coefficient. The polyethylene glycol (PEG) and different concentrations of sodium citrate, ammonium sulfate, and potassium phosphate were investigated. The concentration of salt and PEG in the ATPS was identified as the most significant factors influencing the recovery and partition coefficient of 2,3-BDO. The recovery of 2,3-BDO reached 94.5% and was obtained when the system was composed of 36.22% (w/w) of PEG 4000 and 4.47% (w/w) of potassium phosphate. The results indicate that ATPS based on PEG-salt has a high potential for industrial application, using mild conditions and a simple process for recovering and purifying the 2,3-BDO produced from microbiological synthesis.

Abstract
Laccases (E.C. 1.10.3.2) produced by white-rot fungi (WRF) can be widely used, but the high cost prevents their use in large-scale industrial processes. Finding a solution to the problem could involve laccase production by solid-state fermentation (SSF) simulating the natural growth conditions for WRF. SSF offers several advantages over conventional submerged fermentation (SmF), such as higher efficiency and productivity of the process and pollution reduction. The aim of this review is therefore to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge about the laccase production by WRF under SSF conditions. The focus is on variations in the up-stream process, fermentation and down-stream process and their impact on laccase activity. The variations of up-stream processing involve inoculum preparation, inoculation of the medium and formulation of the propagation and production media. According to the studies, the production process can be shortened to 5-7 days by the selection of a suitable combination of lignocellulosic material and laccase producer without the need for any additional components of the culture medium. Efficient laccase production was achieved by valorisation of wastes as agro-food, municipal wastes or waste generated from wood processing industries. This leads to a reduction of costs and an increase in competitiveness compared to other commonly used methods and/or procedures. There will be significant challenges and opportunities in the future, where SSF could become more efficient and bring the enzyme production to a higher level, especially in new biorefineries, bioreactors and biomolecular/genetic engineering.

Abstract
Cerrena unicolor is an ecologically and biotechnologically important wood-degrading basidiomycete with high lignocellulose degrading ability. Biological and genetic investigations are limited in the Cerrena genus and, thus, hinder genetic modification and commercial use. The aim of the present study was to provide a global understanding through genomic and experimental research about lignocellulosic biomass utilization by Cerrena unicolor. In this study, we reported the genome sequence of C. unicolor SP02 by using the Illumina and PacBio 20 platforms to obtain trustworthy assembly and annotation. This is the combinational 2nd and 3rd genome sequencing and assembly of C. unicolor species. The generated genome was 42.79 Mb in size with an N50 contig size of 2.48 Mb, a G + C content of 47.43%, and encoding of 12,277 predicted genes. The genes encoding various lignocellulolytic enzymes including laccase, lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, cytochromes P450, cellulase, xylanase, α-amylase, and pectinase involved in the degradation of lignin, cellulose, xylan, starch, pectin, and chitin that showed the C. unicolor SP02 potentially have a wide range of applications in lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Genome-scale metabolic analysis opened up a valuable resource for a better understanding of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and oxidoreductases that provide insights into the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms for lignocellulosic degradation. The C. unicolor SP02 model can be used for the development of efficient microbial cell factories in lignocellulosic industries. The understanding of the genetic material of C. unicolor SP02 coding for the lignocellulolytic enzymes will significantly benefit us in genetic manipulation, site-directed mutagenesis, and industrial biotechnology.

Abstract
Laccases have received the attention of researchers in the last few decades due to their ability to degrade phenolic and lignin-related compounds. This study aimed at obtaining the highest possible laccase activity and evaluating the methods of its purification. The crude laccase from bioreactor cultivation of Cerrena unicolor fungus was purified using ultrafiltration, aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) and foam fractionation (FF), which allowed for the assessment of these three downstream processing (DSP) methods. The repeated fed-batch cultivation mode applied for the enzyme production resulted in a high laccase specific activity in fermentation broth of 204.1 U/mg. The use of a specially constructed spin filter inside the bioreactor enabled the integration of enzyme biosynthesis and biomass filtration in one apparatus. Other methods of laccase concentration and purification, namely ATPE and FF, proved to be useful for laccase separation; however, the efficiency of FF was rather low (recovery yield of 24.9% and purification fold of 1.4). Surprisingly, the recovery yield after ATPE in a PEG 6000-phosphate system in salt phase was higher (97.4%) than after two-step ultrafiltration (73.7%). Furthermore, it was demonstrated that a simple, two-step purification procedure resulted in separation of two laccase isoforms with specific activity of 2349 and 3374 U/mg. All in all, a compact integrated system for the production, concentration and separation of fungal laccases was proposed.

Abstract
This work attempts to study and optimize the conditions for separating and purifying papain in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs). Quaternary ammonium ionic liquids (ILs, 4 wt%) were added as adjuvants to a PEG-phosphate ATPS. On the basis of single-factor experiments, a Box-Behnken design with response surface methodology (BBD-RSM) was used to optimize the purification conditions of papain in the ATPS by setting the NaH2PO4·2H2O concentration, PEG concentration and pH as independent variables and the overall desirability (OD) of the recovery rate of papain, the protein recovery rate and the purification factor as dependent variables. The following optimum conditions were determined: PEG4000 16.4 wt%, NaH2PO4·2H2O 13.7 wt%, pH 6.22, temperature 60 °C and enzyme concentration 12.0 mg/ml. Under the optimized conditions, the purification factor for the ATPS supplemented with commercial enzyme increased from 1.331 (no ILs) to 3.380 (containing 4 wt% [N2222]BF4). The total evaluation OD was 0.9979, the maximum predicted OD was 0.9994, and the deviation rate was -0.15%. Therefore, the model established in this experiment could predict the experimental value well. To verify the practical effect of the model, papain obtained from fresh papaya latex (papain crude extract) was applied to the same ATPS. The results showed that the purification factor of the ATPS with papain crude extract increased from 3.517 (no ILs) to 12.04 (containing 4 wt% [N2222]BF4). In summary, the addition of 4 wt% ILs to partially replace PEG greatly improved the purification factor for crude papain extract enriched in the phosphate phase, providing a potential method for the large-scale industrial production of papain.
