Abstract
Recently, hybrid nanoflowers (hNFs), which are accepted as popular carrier supports in the development of enzyme immobilization strategies, have attracted much attention. In this study, the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized to mesoporous magnetic Fe3O4-NH2 by forming Schiff base compounds and the HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs were then synthesized. Under optimal conditions, 95.0% of the available HRP was immobilized on the Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs. Structural morphology and characterization of synthesized HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs were investigated. The results demonstrated that the average size of HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs was determined to be around 220 nm. The ζ-potential and magnetic saturation values of HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs were -33.58 mV and ∼30 emu/g, respectively. Additionally, the optimum pH, optimum temperature, thermal stability, kinetic parameters, reusability, and storage stability were examined. It was observed that the optimum pH value shifted from 5.0 to pH 8.0 after immobilization, while the optimum temperature shifted from 30 to 80 °C. K m values were calculated to be 15.5502 and 7.6707 mM for free HRP and the HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs, respectively, and V max values were calculated to be 0.0701 and 0.0038 mM min-1. The low K m value observed after immobilization indicated that the affinity of HRP for its substrate increased. The HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs showed higher thermal stability than free HRP, and its residual activity after six usage cycles was approximately 45%. While free HRP lost all of its activity within 120 min at 65 °C, the HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs retained almost all of its activity during the 6 h incubation period at 80 °C. Most importantly, the HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs demonstrated good potential efficiency for the biodegradation of methyl orange, phenol red, and methylene blue dyes. The HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs were used for a total of 8 cycles to degrade methyl orange, phenol red, and methylene blue, and degradation of around 81, 96, and 56% was obtained in 8 h, respectively. Overall, we believe that the HRP@Fe3O4-NH2/hNFs reported in this work can be potentially used in various industrial and environmental applications, particularly for the biodegradation of recalcitrant compounds, such as textile dyes.

Abstract
Textile effluents containing toxic dyes must be treated effectively before discharge to prevent adverse environmental impacts. Traditional physical and chemical treatment methods are costly and generate secondary pollutants. In contrast, biological treatment is a more suitable, clean, versatile, eco-friendly, and cost-effective technique for treating textile effluent. It is well established that indigenous microbial populations present in effluents can effectively degrade toxic dyes. In this regard, Achromobacter xylosoxidans DDB6 was isolated from the effluent sample to decolorize crystal violet (CV), Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB), and alizarin red (AR) by 67.20%, 28.58%, and 20.41%, respectively. The growth parameters of A. xylosoxidans DDB6 in media supplemented with 100 ppm of various dyes were determined using the modified Gompertz growth model. The immobilized cells in calcium alginate beads showed apparent decolorization rate constant of 0.27, 0.18, and 0.13 h-1 for CV, CBB, and AR, respectively. The immobilized cells in a packed bed reactor with an optimum flow rate of 0.5 mL/min were used to treat 100 ppm of CV with a percentage decolorization of 79.47% after three cycles. Based on the findings, A. xylosoxidans DDB6 could be effectively used for decolorization of various dyes.

Abstract
Textile industries release major fraction of dyestuffs in effluents leading to a major environmental concern. These effluents often contain more than one dyestuff, which complicates dye degradation. In this study ten reactive dyes (Reactive Yellow 145, Reactive Yellow 160, Reactive Orange 16, Reactive Orange 107, Reactive Red 195, Reactive Blue 21, Reactive Blue 198, Reactive Blue 221, Reactive Blue 250, and Reactive Black 5) that are used in textile industries were subjected to biodegradation by a bacterial consortium VITPBC6, formulated in our previous study. Consortium VITPBC6 caused single dye degradation of all the mentioned dyes except for Reactive Yellow 160. Further, VITPBC6 efficiently degraded a five-dye mixture (Reactive Red 195, Reactive Orange 16, Reactive Black 5, Reactive Blue 221, and Reactive Blue 250). Kinetic studies revealed that the five-dye mixture was decolorized by VITPBC6 following zero order reaction kinetic; Vmax and Km values of the enzyme catalyzed five-dye decolorization were 128.88 mg L-1 day-1 and 1003.226 mg L-1 respectively. VITPBC6 degraded the dye mixture into delta-3,4,5,6-Tetrachlorocyclohexene, sulfuric acid, 1,2-dichloroethane, and hydroxyphenoxyethylaminohydroxypropanol. Phytotoxicity, cytogenotoxicity, microtoxicity, and biotoxicity assays conducted with the biodegraded metabolites revealed that VITPBC6 lowered the toxicity of five-dye mixture significantly after biodegradation.

Abstract
The demand for H2O2 restricts the wider application of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in degradation. In this work, a novel photoenzyme synergistic catalytic system was developed for high-efficiency degrading of indole in water by HRP without extra H2O2. The HRP was immobilized on CN-ZIF prepared by the combination of g-C3N4 and ZIF-8 to achieve photo-peroxidase catalyst HRP/Zn-CN-ZIF. Under visible light, photogenerated electrons and H2O2 from HRP/Zn-CN-ZIF participated in the biocatalytic cycle of HRP directly. As a result, the indole at 20 mg L-1 in water was degraded completely in 2 h by the HRP/Zn-CN-ZIF photoenzyme synergistic catalytic system without the addition of H2O2. Furthermore, HRP/Zn-CN-ZIF exhibited superior visible light absorption and charge transfer ability compared to g-C3N4. The results of the mechanism studies suggest that ·OH would play the most significant role from the HRP/Zn-CN-ZIF in indole degradation. This research provides an efficient approach for the removal of indole from water environments.

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.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 170:40-49.

Abstract
Aromatic azo dyes possess inherent resistance and are known to be carcinogenic, posing a significant threat to human and ecosystems. Enhancing the biodegradation of azo dyes usually requires the presence of co-metabolic substrates to optimize the process. In addressing the issue of excessive waste activated sludge (WAS) generation, this study explored the potential of utilizing alkaline-thermal hydrolysate of WAS as a co-metabolic substrate to boost the degradation of reactive black 5 (RB5) dyes. The acclimated microbial consortium, when supplemented with the WAS hydrolysate obtained at a hydrolysis temperature of 30 °C, achieved an impressive RB5 decolorization efficiency of 90.3% (pH = 7, 35 °C) with a corresponding COD removal efficiency of 45.0%. The addition of WAS hydrolysate as a co-substrate conferred the consortium with a remarkable tolerance to high dye concentration (1500 mg/L RB5) and salinity levels (4-5%), surpassing the performance of conventional co-metabolic sugars in RB5 degradation. 3D-EEM analysis revealed that protein-like substances rich in tyrosine and tryptophan, present in the WAS hydrolysate, played a crucial role in promoting RB5 biodegradation. Furthermore, the microbial consortium community exhibited an enrichment of dye-degrading species, including Acidovorax, Bordetella, Kerstersia, and Brevundimonas, which dominated the community. Notably, functional genes associated with dye degradation and intermediates were also enriched during the RB5 decolorization and biodegradation process. These findings present a practical strategy for the simultaneous treatment of dye-containing wastewater and recycling of WAS.

Abstract
Mannan oligosaccharides (MOSs) are excellent prebiotics that are usually obtained via the enzymatic hydrolysis of mannan. In order to reduce the cost of preparing MOSs, immobilized enzymes that demonstrate good performance, require simple preparation, and are safe, inexpensive, and reusable must be developed urgently. In this study, β-mannanase was immobilized on calcium alginate (CaAlg). Under the optimal conditions of 320 U enzyme addition, 1.6% sodium alginate, 2% CaCl2, and 1 h of immobilization time, the immobilization yield reached 68.3%. The optimum temperature and pH for the immobilized β-mannanase (Man-CaAlg) were 75 °C and 6.0, respectively. The Man-CaAlg exhibited better thermal stability, a high degree of pH stability, and less substrate affinity than free β-mannanase. The Man-CaAlg could be reused eight times and retained 70.34% of its activity; additionally, the Man-CaAlg showed 58.17% activity after 30 days of storage. A total of 7.94 mg/mL of MOSs, with 4.94 mg/mL of mannobiose and 3.00 mg/mL of mannotriose, were generated in the oligosaccharide production assay. It is believed that this convenient and safe strategy has great potential in the important field of the use of immobilized β-mannanase for the production of mannan oligosaccharides.

Abstract
In this study, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized for the first time on Ca alginate-starch hybrid beads and employed for the biodegradation of phenol red dye. The optimal protein loading was 50 mg/g of support. Immobilized HRP demonstrated improved thermal stability and maximum catalytic activity at 50 °C and pH 6.0, with an increase in half-life (t1/2) and enzymatic deactivation energy (Ed) compared to free HRP. After 30 days of storage at 4 °C, immobilized HRP retained 109% of its initial activity. Compared to free HRP, the immobilized enzyme exhibited higher potential for phenol red dye degradation, as evidenced by the removal of 55.87% of initial phenol red after 90 min, which was 11.5 times greater than free HRP. In sequential batch reactions, the immobilized HRP demonstrated good potential efficiency for the biodegradation of phenol red dye. The immobilized HRP was used for a total of 15 cycles, degrading 18.99% after 10 cycles and 11.69% after 15 cycles, with a residual enzymatic activity of 19.40% and 12.34%, respectively. Overall, the results suggest that HRP immobilized on Ca alginate-starch hybrid supports shows promise as a biocatalyst for industrial and biotechnological applications, particularly for the biodegradation of recalcitrant compounds such as phenol red dye.

A biomimetic core-shell PDA@Lac bioreactor was constructed by depositing polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of the recombinant Escherichia coli with CotA laccase gene, and releasing intracellular laccase into the PDA shell using ultrasound to break the cell wall of the bacteria. The bioreactor provided a nano-confined environment for the laccase and accelerated the mass and electron transfer in the volume-confined space, with a 2.77-fold increase in Km compared with the free laccase. Since there was no barrier of the cell wall, the crystal violet dye can enter the bioreactor to participate in the enzymatic reaction. As a result, PDA@Lac achieved excellent decolorization performance even without ABTS as an electron mediator. Moreover, the cytoplasmic solution retained in the PDA shell promoted the enzyme's tolerance to pH, temperature and harsh environments. In addition to PDA encapsulation, carbonyl and -NH2 groups of PDA were bound covalently with -NH2 and -COOH on the laccase in the PDA@Lac, resulting in an extremely high laccase loading of 817.59 mg/g. Also, the relative activity of the bioreactor maintained approximately 75% after 10 cycles of reuse. In addition, the protection of the PDA shell increased the resistance of laccase to UV irradiation. This work provides a novel method of laccase immobilization for application in wastewater treatment.

Effective assessment of biopolymer-based multifunctional sorbents for the remediation of environmentally hazardous contaminants from aqueous solutions. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 329:138552. [PMID: 37003438 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Persistent contaminants in wastewater effluent pose a significant threat to aquatic life and are one of the most significant environmental concerns of our time. Although there are a variety of traditional methods available in wastewater treatment, including adsorption, coagulation, flocculation, ion exchange, membrane filtration, co-precipitation and solvent extraction, none of these have been found to be significantly cost-effective in removing toxic pollutants from the water environment. The upfront costs of these treatment methods are extremely high, and they require the use of harmful synthetic chemicals. For this reason, the development of new technologies for the treatment and recycling of wastewater is an absolute necessity. Our way of life can be made more sustainable by the synthesis of adsorbents based on biomass, making the process less harmful to the environment. Biopolymers offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers, which are manufactured by joining monomer units through covalent bonding. This review presents a detailed classification of biopolymers such as pectin, alginate, chitosan, lignin, cellulose, chitin, carrageen, certain proteins, and other microbial biomass compounds and composites, with a focus on their sources, methods of synthesis, and prospective applications in wastewater treatment. A concise summary of the extensive body of knowledge on the fate of biopolymers after adsorption is also provided. Finally, consideration is given to open questions about future developments leading to environmentally friendly and economically beneficial applications of biopolymers.

Abstract
The current physicochemical methods for decolorizing toxic synthetic dyes are not sustainable to halt the environmental damage as they are expensive and often produce concentrated sludge, which may lead to secondary disposal problems. Biocatalysis (microbes and/or their enzymes) is a cost-effective, versatile, energy-saving and clean alternative. The most common enzymes involved in dye degradation are laccases, azoreductases and peroxidases. Toxic dyes could be converted into less harmful byproducts through the combined action of many enzymes or the utilization of whole cells. The action of whole cells to treat dye effluents is either by biosorption or degradation (aerobic or anaerobic). Using immobilized cells or enzymes will offer advantages such as superior stability, persistence against harsh environmental conditions, reusability and longer half-lives. This review envisages the recent strategies of immobilization and bioreactor considerations with the immobilized system as the effective treatment of textile dye effluents. Packed bed reactors are the most popular heterogeneous biocatalytic reactors for dye decolorization due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
Fibrous membranes offer broad opportunities to deploy immobilized enzymes in new reactor and application designs, including multiphase continuous flow-through reactions. Enzyme immobilization is a technology strategy that simplifies the separation of otherwise soluble catalytic proteins from liquid reaction media and imparts stabilization and performance enhancement. Flexible immobilization matrices made from fibers have versatile physical attributes, such as high surface area, light weight, and controllable porosity, which give them membrane-like characteristics, while simultaneously providing good mechanical properties for creating functional filters, sensors, scaffolds, and other interface-active biocatalytic materials. This review examines immobilization strategies for enzymes on fibrous membrane-like polymeric supports involving all three fundamental mechanisms of post-immobilization, incorporation, and coating. Post-immobilization offers an infinite selection of matrix materials, but may encounter loading and durability issues, while incorporation offers longevity but has more limited material options and may present mass transfer obstacles. Coating techniques on fibrous materials at different geometric scales are a growing trend in making membranes that integrate biocatalytic functionality with versatile physical supports. Biocatalytic performance parameters and characterization techniques for immobilized enzymes are described, including several emerging techniques of special relevance for fibrous immobilized enzymes. Diverse application examples from the literature, focusing on fibrous matrices, are summarized, and biocatalyst longevity is emphasized as a critical performance parameter that needs increased attention to advance concepts from lab scale to broader utilization. This consolidation of fabrication, performance measurement, and characterization techniques, with guiding examples highlighted, is intended to inspire future innovations in enzyme immobilization with fibrous membranes and expand their uses in novel reactors and processes.

Abstract
The issue of environmental pollution has been worsened by the emergence of new contaminants whose morphology is yet to be fully understood. Several techniques have been adopted to mitigate the pollution effects of these emerging contaminants, and bioremediation involving plants, microbes, or enzymes has stood out as a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach. Enzyme-mediated bioremediation is a very promising technology as it exhibits better pollutant degradation activity and generates less waste. However, this technology is subject to challenges like temperature, pH, and storage stability, in addition to recycling difficulty as it is arduous to isolate them from the reaction media. To address these challenges, the immobilization of enzymes has been successfully applied to ameliorate the activity, stability, and reusability of enzymes. Although this has significantly increased the uses of enzymes over a wide range of environmental conditions and facilitated the use of smaller bioreactors thereby saving cost, it still comes with additional costs for carriers and immobilization. Additionally, the existing immobilization methods have their individual limitations. This review provides state-of-the-art information to readers focusing on bioremediation using enzymes. Different parameters such as: the sustainability of biocatalysts, the ecotoxicological evaluation of transformation contaminants, and enzyme groups used were reviewed. The efficacy of free and immobilized enzymes, materials and methods for immobilization, bioreactors used, challenges to large-scale implementation, and future research needs were thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
In this study, an adaptable HRP/GOX-Glu system was established due to the trait, efficient degradation of pollutants in the catalytic process of HRP named the ping-pong bibi mechanism and a sustained release of H2O2 in-situ under the catalysis of glucose oxidase (GOX). Compared with the traditional HRP/H2O2 system, the HRP was more stable in the HRP/GOX-Glu system based on the feature of persistent releasing H2O2 in-situ. Simultaneously, the high valent iron was found out to give a greater contribution to Alizarin Green (AG) removal through ping-pong mechanism, whereas the hydroxyl radical and superoxide free radical generated by Bio-Fenton were also the main active substances for AG degradation. Furthermore, on the basis of effect evaluation of the co-existence of two different degradation mechanisms in the HRP/GOX-Glu system, the degradation pathways of AG were proposed. Moreover, the optimum reaction conditions preferentially triggering ping-pong bibi mechanism instead of Bio-Fenton were determined by single factor analysis and degradation mechanism elaboration. This study would provide a reference for how to give full play to the advantages of ping-pong bibi mechanism in the dual-enzyme system based on HRP to degrade pollutants with high efficiency.

Abstract
Textile effluent is one of the most hazardous industrial pollutant sources. It is generated in huge volumes and contains a wide array of toxicants. Reactive azo dyes, which are xenobiotic compounds, are predominantly utilized by textile industries for dyeing cotton, viscose, wool, and silk. The conventional physicochemical treatments used by industrial effluent treatment plants are ineffective in dye degradation. The present study thus attempted to find a potential treatment for reactive azo dyes. A novel bacterial consortium VITPBC6 was constructed with the most potent and compatible reactive orange 16 (RO-16) decolorizing isolates of tannery and textile effluents, and the isolates were identified as Bacillus flexus VITSP6, Bacillus paraflexus VITSPB7, Bacillus megaterium VITSPB9, Bacillus firmus VITEPB1, B. flexus VITEPB2, and Bacillus aryabhattai VITEPB3. The physicochemical factors of RO-16 decolorization were optimized by response surface methodology. Consortium VITPBC6 was able to tolerate a high concentration of RO-16 up to 800 mg L-1. A cocktail of enzymes including azoreductase, tyrosinase, laccase, lignin peroxidase, and manganese peroxidase was involved in RO-16 degradation by VITPBC6. Consortium VITPBC6 degraded RO-16 following zero-order reaction. The enzymes of consortium VITPBC6 had a Vmax of 352 mg L-1 day-1 for RO-16 degradation; however, the Km value was high. VITPBC6 biodegraded RO-16 resulting in the formation of small aromatic compounds. Lastly, different toxicity assays conducted with untreated RO-16 and its corresponding biodegraded metabolite revealed that the toxicity of biodegraded metabolites was significantly lower than the untreated dye.

Abstract
In present study, we describe the biodegradation of direct blue (DB) 297 and reactive blue (RB) 221 by immobilizing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) isolated from fresh leaves of Moringa Oliefera on iron oxide nanoparticles. Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method and showed a maximum immobilization efficiency of 87%. The surface topography of iron oxide nanoparticles was envisaged by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), results showed that magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were in the form of aggregates having size of 1 μm. Furthermore, immobilization was confirmed via functional group identification performed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Immobilization phenomena displaced the optimum temperature from 35 °C to 50 °C moreover, pH optima were altered from 5.0 to 7.0. Vmax and Km for free and immobilized HRP, were 303 U/mg and 1.66 mM and 312 U/mg and 1.94 mM, respectively. Enzymatic thermodynamic measurements (ΔH*, ΔS*, Ea, ΔG*) were also evaluated for immobilized HRP and its free counterpart. Optimum degradation of reactive blue (RB) and direct blue (DB) 297 with free and immobilized HRP was observed at pH 5 and at temperature 40 °C respectively. The removal efficiency of DB 297 and RB 221 with free HRP was 75% and 86% while with immobilized HRP was 81% and 92% respectively. Furthermore, biodegradation of reactive blue (RB) 221 and direct blue (DB) 297 with immobilized and free biocatalyst was also investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) by identification of groups involved in dye degradation. FTIR results confirmed the 100% degradation of dyes. Immobilized HRP retained significant catalytic activity after five consecutive cycles of dye degradation. In conclusion, Fe3O4 nanoparticles are promising and environmentally friendly media for enzyme immobilization. Moreover, immobilized HRP showed more thermal stability, pH stability and higher dye degradation efficiency as compared to free HRP. Furthermore, the immobilized HRP, economically more convenient and easily removable from reaction media. Owing to its thermal stability, ease of separation from reaction media and reusability, the magnetically separatable immobilized HRP can be exploited successfully for treatment of dye contaminated textile effluents.

Abstract
A significant interest was granted lately to enzymes, which are versatile catalysts characterized by natural origin, with high specificity and selectivity for particular substrates. Additionally, some enzymes are involved in the production of high-valuable products, such as antibiotics, while others are known for their ability to transform emerging contaminates, such as dyes and pesticides, to simpler molecules with a lower environmental impact. Nevertheless, the use of enzymes in industrial applications is limited by their reduced stability in extreme conditions and by their difficult recovery and reusability. Rationally, enzyme immobilization on organic or inorganic matrices proved to be one of the most successful innovative approaches to increase the stability of enzymatic catalysts. By the immobilization of enzymes on support materials, composite biocatalysts are obtained that pose an improved stability, preserving the enzymatic activity and some of the support material’s properties. Of high interest are the polymer/enzyme composites, which are obtained by the chemical or physical attachment of enzymes on polymer matrices. This review highlights some of the latest findings in the field of polymer/enzyme composites, classified according to the morphology of the resulting materials, following their most important applications.

Abstract
The present work reports on the structural study of a film made of a hybrid blend of biopolymers used as an enzyme carrier. A cellulose derivative (HPMC) and chitosan (CS) were combined in order to formulate a film on which Mucor miehei lipase was immobilized. The film was successfully used as a biocatalyst; however, little is known about the structure of the system. Therefore, small-angle X-ray scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as microindentation measurements, were used to shed light on the structure of the promising biocatalyst. Among the results, intermolecular hydrogen bonds were observed between the amide groups of the two polymers and the lipase. The presence of the enzyme does not seem to affect the mechanical properties of the matrix. The used film after 35 cycles of reaction seemed to be fatigued and had lost part of its humidity, explaining the reduction of the enzyme activity.

Abstract
Over the years, extensive urbanization and industrialization have led to xenobiotics contamination of the environment and also posed a severe threat to human health. Although there are multiple physical and chemical techniques for xenobiotic pollutants management, bioremediation seems to be a promising technology from the environmental perspective. It is an eco-friendly and low-cost method involving the application of microbes, plants, or their enzymes to degrade xenobiotics into less toxic or non-toxic forms. Moreover, bioremediation involving enzymes has gained an advantage over microorganisms or phytoremediation due to better activity for pollutant degradation with less waste generation. However, the significant disadvantages associated with the application of enzymes are low stability (storage, pH, and temperature) as well as the low possibility of reuse as it is hard to separate from reaction media. The immobilization of enzymes without affecting their activity provides a possible solution to the problems and allows reusability by easing the process of separation with improved stability to various environmental factors. The present communication provides an overview of the importance of enzyme immobilization in bioremediation, carrier selection, and immobilization methods, as well as the pros and cons of immobilization and its prospects.

Abstract
In recent years, the removal of hazardous pollutants from many industries has become a significant challenge for mankind as a growing number of contaminants, including a wide range of organic pollutants, synthetic dyes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), have inevitably led to an increased anthropogenic impact on the biosphere. Due to the complex aromatic structure, most synthetic dyes show resistance to degrade by the classical approaches, such as coagulation, flotation, adsorption, membrane process, and reverse osmosis. Enzyme-assisted biodegradation of pollutants offers an eco-friendlier and cost-effective alternative to remediate dyes, dyes-based effluents, other toxins, etc. Various plant and microbial oxidoreductase (Horseradish and manganese peroxidase) have recently received more attention for degrading and detoxifying a wide range of dyes either by opening the aromatic ring structure or by precipitation due to their high activity under milder conditions, high substrate specificity, and biodegradable nature. To enhance the efficiency, stability and recyclability, enzymes were immobilized on various support media such as sodium alginate, agarose, chitin/chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, macroporous exchange resins, hydrophobic sol-gels, and nanoporous silica gel, including magnetically separatable media. Among various types of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, such as hematite, magnetite, and maghemite, have gained great attention due to their properties like small size, superparamagnetism, high surface area to volume ratio, and ease of separation for repeated cycles of uses. These carriers can be separated easily and rapidly from the reaction medium by an external magnetic field without being subjected to mechanical stress than centrifugation or filtration. Various methods have been employed for immobilizing oxidoreductase on different media, such as adsorption, covalent binding, entrapment, and encapsulation using different cross-linking agents. Compared to the free enzyme, insolubilized enzymes reduce production costs by enzyme reusability, tolerance to unfavorable environmental conditions, and high catalytic stability. Here, we review various immobilization methods and biocatalytic degradation of emerging dye pollutants, focusing on various non-magnetically and magnetically responsive supports to immobilize peroxidases. Conclusively, magnetically separatable peroxidases show more stability towards extreme temperature and pH conditions and can be used for repeated cycles than free and non-magnetically separatable peroxidase.

Abstract
Wastewater is contaminated water that must be treated before it may be transferred into other rivers and lakes in order to prevent further groundwater pollution. Over the last decade, research has been conducted on a wide variety of contaminants, but the emerging contaminants are those caused primarily by micropollutants, endocrine disruptors (EDs), pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, and toxins, as well as industrially-related synthetic dyes and dye-containing hazardous pollutants. Most emerging pollutants did not have established guidelines, but even at low concentrations they could have harmful effects on humans and aquatic organisms. In order to combat the above ecological threats, huge efforts have been done with a view to boosting the effectiveness of remediation procedures or developing new techniques for the detection, quantification and efficiency of the samples. The increase of interest in biotechnology and environmental engineering gives an opportunity for the development of more innovative ways to water treatment remediation. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of emerging sources of contaminants, detection technologies, and treatment strategies. The goal of this review is to evaluate adsorption as a method for treating emerging pollutants, as well as sophisticated and cost-effective approaches for treating emerging contaminants.

Abstract
To enhance the dye removal efficiency by natural enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized onto amine-functionalized superparamagnetic iron oxide and used as a biocatalyst for the oxidative degradation of acid black-HC dye. The anchored enzyme was characterized by vibrating sample magnetometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda methods, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, Zeta potential, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The Michaelis constant values of free and immobilized HRP were determined to be 4.5 and 5 mM for hydrogen peroxide and 12.5 and 10 mM for guaiacol, respectively. Moreover, the maximum values of free and immobilized HRP were 2.4 and 2 U for H2O2, respectively, and 1.25 U for guaiacol. The immobilized enzyme was thermally stable up to 60°C, whereas the free peroxidase was stable only up to 40°C. In the catalytic experiment, the immobilized HRP exhibited superior catalytic activity compared with that of free HRP for the oxidative decolorization and removal of acid black-HC dye. The influence of experimental parameters such as the catalyst dosage, pH, H2O2 concentration, and temperature on the removal efficiency was investigated. The reaction followed second-order kinetics, and the thermodynamic activation parameters were determined.

Abstract
Water is a very valuable natural resource. As the demand for water increases the presence of emerging contaminants in wastewater has become a growing concern. This is particularly true when one considers direct reuse of wastewater. Obtaining sufficient removal of emerging contaminants will require determining the level of removal for the various unit operations in the wastewater treatment process. Membrane bioreactors are attractive as they combine an activated sludge process with a membrane separation step. They are frequently used in a wastewater treatment process and can operate at higher solid loadings than conventional activated sludge processes. Determining the level of removal of emerging contaminants in the membrane bioreactor step is, therefore, of great interest. Removal of emerging contaminants could be by adsorption onto the biomass or membrane surface, biotransformation, size exclusion by the membrane, or volatilization. Given the fact that most emerging contaminants are low molecule weight non-volatile compounds, the latter two methods of removal are usually unimportant. However, biotransformation and adsorption onto the biomass are important mechanisms of removal. It will be important to determine if the microorganisms present at given treatment facility are able to remove ECs present in the wastewater.

Abstract
The treatment of environmental pollutants such as synthetic dyes and lignin has received much attention, especially for biotechnological treatments using both native and artificial metalloenzymes. In this study, we designed and engineered an efficient peroxidase using the O2 carrier myoglobin (Mb) as a protein scaffold by four mutations (F43Y/T67R/P88W/F138W), which combines the key structural features of natural peroxidases such as the presence of a conserved His-Arg pair and Tyr/Trp residues close to the heme active center. Kinetic studies revealed that the quadruple mutant exhibits considerably enhanced peroxidase activity, with the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) comparable to that of the most efficient natural enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Moreover, the designed enzyme can effectively decolorize a variety of synthetic organic dyes and catalyze the bioconversion of lignin, such as Kraft lignin and a model compound, guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GGE). As analyzed by HPLC and ESI-MS, we identified several bioconversion products of GGE, as produced via bond cleavage followed by dimerization or trimerization, which illustrates the mechanism for lignin bioconversion. This study indicates that the designed enzyme could be exploited for the decolorization of textile wastewater contaminated with various dyes, as well as for the bioconversion of lignin to produce more value-added products.

Abstract
Enzymes are versatile biomolecules with broad applications. Since they are biological molecules, they can be easily destabilized when placed in adverse environmental conditions, such as variations in temperature, pH, or ionic strength. In this sense, the use of protective structures, as polymeric capsules, has been an excellent approach to maintain the catalytic stability of enzymes during their application. Thus, in this review, we report the use of polymeric materials as enzyme encapsulation agents, recent technological developments related to this subject, and characterization methodologies and possible applications of the formed bioactive structures. Our search detected that the most explored methods for enzyme encapsulation are ionotropic gelation, spray drying, freeze-drying, nanoprecipitation, and electrospinning. α-chymotrypsin, lysozyme, and β-galactosidase were the most used enzymes in encapsulations, with chitosan and sodium alginate being the main polymers. Furthermore, most studies reported high encapsulation efficiency, enzyme activity maintenance, and stability improvement at pH, temperature, and storage. Therefore, the information presented here shows a direction for the development of encapsulation systems capable of stabilizing different enzymes and obtaining better performance during application.

Abstract
Environmental protection from emerging pollutants has become a significant challenge for mankind as an increasing number of contaminants, including synthetic dyes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), represent a serious risk to ecological and environmental balance. Most synthetic dyes have complex aromatic structures and are resistant to degrade by classical approaches, such as physical and chemical processes, including adsorption, chemical coagulation, flocculation, ion exchange, membrane separation, froth flotation, and reverse osmosis. Enzymes-assisted catalytic transformation of pollutants has become a potential alternative to classical methods because of their ability to react with complex compounds, a quick degradation rate, and producing less harmful by-products. Plant peroxidases, and microbial laccase and lignin-degrading peroxidases (manganese and lignin peroxidase) have gained significant attention for treating aromatic waste due to their capability of oxidizing and detoxifying a wide range of recalcitrant xenobiotics, including PAHs and synthetic dyes. Peroxidases being efficient biocatalysts detoxify an array of toxic compounds by simple free-radical mechanism resulting in the formation of oxidized and depolymerized products of significantly reduced toxicity. Moreover, it is an ecofriendly and economically favorable approach towards the biodegradation of recalcitrant and toxic industrial waste. Among microbial and plant peroxidases, bacterial enzymes have broad substrate specificity and can transform a wide range of recalcitrant substrates. Ligninolytic enzymes oxidize the aromatic ring into quinones and acids by producing free hydroxyl radicals instead of dihydrodiols and mineralize aromatic hydrocarbon in combination with cytochrome P450, monooxygenases, and epoxide hydrolases. In the review, an attempt has been made to provide detailed knowledge about the availability of inexpensive peroxidases sources, their mechanism of action, and degradation potential. The present review summarizes the exploitation of peroxidases from plants, bacteria, and fungus (manganese peroxidase, lignin peroxidase, and laccases) for detoxification and degradation of textile dyes as well as PAHs. Conclusively, peroxidases have great potential to react with almost all classes of synthetic dyes and most PAHs due to broad substrate specificity and transformed them into less harmful metabolites.

Immobilization caused a slight shift in the pH optima of SBP activity (pH 5.0 to 4.0), whereas the free and TiO2-immobilized SBP showed similar thermal stability profiles. The newly developed hybrid biocatalysts were used for the degradation of 21 emerging pollutants in the presence and absence of 1-hydroxy benzotriazole (HOBT) as a redox mediator. Notably, all the tested pollutants were not equally degraded by the SBP treatment and some of the tested pollutants were either partially degraded or appeared to be recalcitrant to enzymatic degradation. The presence of HOBT enhanced the degradation of the pollutants, while it also inhibited the degradation of some contaminants. Interestingly, TiO2 and ZnO-immobilized SBP displayed better degradation efficiency of a few emerging pollutants than the free enzyme. Furthermore, a combined enzyme-chemical oxidation remediation strategy was employed to degrade two recalcitrant pollutants, which suggest a novel application of these novel hybrid peroxidase-photocatalysts. Lastly, the reusability profile indicated that the TiO2-SBP hybrid biocatalyst retained up to 95% degradation efficiency of a model pollutant (2-mercaptobenzothiazole) after four consecutive degradation cycles.

Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 184:57-67.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase was immobilized on modified nanosilver reduced graphene oxide (Ag@rGO) nanocomposite prepared by in vitro synthesis using same enzyme. The effectiveness factor, η value of the immobilized enzyme was calculated to be 0.968, suggesting enhancement in enzyme activity after immobilization. The morphological structure of the crosslinked biopolymer was analyzed using electron microscopy and other characterization techniques. The kinetics displayed a decrease in Km value from 0.50 to 0.44 mmol L-1 while there was an increase in Vmax values from 0.031 to 0.039 μmol min-1 mL-1. The immobilized enzyme retained 85% activity after its 10th repeated use. Inhibition constant (Ki) value suggests galactose to be a more potent inhibitor of the enzyme. Despite the inhibitory potential of these hydrolysis products, the immobilized enzyme preparation retained 44.2% activity in the presence of both inhibitory sugars. The as-synthesized nanobiocatalyst was found quite effective in hydrolyzing 89% of lactose from whey. Hence, this nanobiocatalyst can be used in removing lactose from dairy waste, whey before releasing it into the water bodies. Also, the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of Ag@rGO NC was assessed on human blood lymphocytes using flow cytometry and comet assay, respectively.

Abstract
Chitosan is one of the most abundant natural polymer worldwide, and due to its inherent characteristics, its use in industrial processes has been extensively explored. Because it is biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, hydrophilic, cheap, and has good physical-chemical stability, it is seen as an excellent alternative for the replacement of synthetic materials in the search for more sustainable production methodologies. Thus being, a possible biotechnological application of Chitosan is as a direct support for enzyme immobilization. However, its applicability is quite specific, and to overcome this issue, alternative pretreatments are required, such as chemical and physical modifications to its structure, enabling its use in a wider array of applications. This review aims to present the topic in detail, by exploring and discussing methods of employment of Chitosan in enzymatic immobilization processes with various enzymes, presenting its advantages and disadvantages, as well as listing possible chemical modifications and combinations with other compounds for formulating an ideal support for this purpose. First, we will present Chitosan emphasizing its characteristics that allow its use as enzyme support. Furthermore, we will discuss possible physicochemical modifications that can be made to Chitosan, mentioning the improvements obtained in each process. These discussions will enable a comprehensive comparison between, and an informed choice of, the best technologies concerning enzyme immobilization and the application conditions of the biocatalyst.

Abstract
This is the first comprehensive overview of laccase-triggered anabolism from fundamental theory to biotechnology applications. Laccase is a typical biological oxidordeuctase that induces the one-electronic transfer of diverse substrates for engendering four phenoxy radicals with concomitant reduction of O2 into 2H2O. In vivo, laccase can participate in anabolic processes to create multifarious functional biopolymers such as fungal pigments, plant lignins, and insect cuticles, using mono/polyphenols and their derivatives as enzymatic substrates, and is thus conducive to biological tissue morphogenesis and global carbon storage. Exhilaratingly, fungal laccase has high redox potential (E° = 500-800 mV) and thermodynamic efficiency, making it a remarkable candidate for utilization as a versatile catalyst in the green and circular economy. This review elaborates the anabolic mechanisms of laccase in initiating the polymerization of natural phenolic compounds and their derivatives in vivo via radical-based self/cross-coupling. Information is also presented on laccase immobilization engineering that expands the practical application ranges of laccase in biotechnology by improving the enzymatic catalytic activity, stability, and reuse rate. Particularly, advances in biotechnology applications in vitro through fungal laccase-triggered macromolecular biosynthesis may provide a key research direction beneficial to the rational design of green chemistry.

Abstract
Pectinases are the emerging enzymes of the biotechnology industry with a 25% share in the worldwide food and beverage enzyme market. These are green and eco-friendly tools of nature and hold a prominent place among the commercially produced enzymes. Pectinases exhibit applications in various industrial bioprocesses, such as clarification of fruit juices and wine, degumming, and retting of plant fibers, extraction of antioxidants and oil, fermentation of tea/coffee, wastewater remediation, modification of pectin-laden agro-industrial waste materials for high-value products biosynthesis, manufacture of cellulose fibres, scouring, bleaching, and size reduction of fabric, cellulosic biomass pretreatment for bioethanol production, etc. Nevertheless, like other enzymes, pectinases also face the challenges of low operational stability, recoverability, and recyclability. To address the above-mentioned problems, enzyme immobilization has become an eminently promising approach to improve their thermal stability and catalytic characteristics. Immobilization facilitates easy recovery and recycling of the biocatalysts multiple times, leading to enhanced performance and commercial feasibility.In this review, we illustrate recent developments on the immobilization of pectinolytic enzymes using polymers and nanostructured materials-based carrier supports to constitute novel biocatalytic systems for industrial exploitability. The first section reviewed the immobilization of pectinases on polymers-based supports (ca-alginate, chitosan, agar-agar, hybrid polymers) as a host matrix to construct robust pectinases-based biocatalytic systems. The second half covers nanostructured supports (nano-silica, magnetic nanostructures, hybrid nanoflowers, dual-responsive polymeric nanocarriers, montmorillonite clay), and cross-linked enzyme aggregates for enzyme immobilization. The biotechnological applications of the resulted immobilized robust pectinases-based biocatalytic systems are also meticulously vetted. Finally, the concluding remarks and future recommendations are also given.

Abstract
High catalytic efficiency, stereoselectivity, and sustainability outcomes of enzymes entice chemists for considering biocatalytic transformations to supplant conventional synthetic routes. As a green and versatile enzyme, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based enzymatic catalysis has been widely employed in a range of biological and chemical transformation processes. Nevertheless, like many other enzymes, HRP is likely to denature or destabilize in harsh realistic conditions due to its intrinsic fragile nature, which results in inevitably shortened lifespan and immensely high bioprocess cost. Enzyme immobilization has proven as a prospective strategy for improving their biocatalytic performance in continuous industrial processes. Nanostructured materials with huge accessible surface area, abundant porous structures, exceptional functionalities, and high chemical and mechanical stability have recently garnered intriguing research interests as novel kinds of supporting matrices for HRP immobilization. Many reported immobilized biocatalytic systems have demonstrated high catalytic performances than that to the free form of enzymes, such as enhanced enzyme efficiency, selectivity, stability, and repeatability due to the protective microenvironments provided by nanostructures. This review delineates an updated overview of HRP immobilization using an array of nanostructured materials. Furthermore, the general physicochemical aspects, improved catalytic attributes, and the robust practical implementations of engineered HRP-based catalytic cues are also discussed with suitable examples. To end, concluding remarks, challenges, and worthy suggestions/perspectives for future enzyme immobilization are also given.

Abstract
The feasibility and performance of Jicama peroxidase (JP) immobilized Buckypaper/polyvinyl alcohol (BP/PVA) membrane for methylene blue (MB) dye removal was investigated in a customized multi-stage filtration column under batch recycle mode. The effect of independent variables, such as influent flow rate, ratio of H2O2/MB dye concentration, and contact time on the dye removal efficiency, were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). To capture the inherent characteristics and better predict the removal efficiency, a data-driven adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is implemented. Results indicated that the optimum dye removal efficiency of 99.7% was achieved at a flow rate of 2 mL/min, 75:1 ratio of H2O2/dye concentration with contact time of 183 min. The model predictions of ANFIS are significantly good compared with RSM, thus resulting in R2 values of 0.9912 and 0.9775, respectively. The enzymatic kinetic parameters, Km and Vmax, were evaluated, which are 1.98 mg/L and 0.0219 mg/L/min, respectively. Results showed that JP-immobilized BP/PVA nanocomposite membrane can be promising and cost-effective biotechnology for the practical application in the treatment of industrial dye effluents.

Abstract
Microplastic (MP) pollution has become an area of increasing concern because MPs accumulate various types of pollutants. Many previous studies have explored the interactions between MPs and hydrophobic pollutants. However, little research has been conducted on hydrophilic pollutants, which are of much higher concentration and ubiquitous in environment. Surfactants cause hydrophobic MPs to become hydrophilic, which may significantly enhance their capacities to adsorb hydrophilic pollutants. This study explored the influence of co-existing surfactants on the adsorption of ionic organic pollutants by MPs, and found that the presence of an ionic surfactant could significantly enhance the capacity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC, 0.2 mm) MPs to adsorb pollutants with opposite charges. The Langmuir methylene blue adsorption capacity of PVC could be increased from 172 to 4417 ppm in the presence of a sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate surfactant. Nonionic surfactants impeded the adsorption of both cationic and anionic pollutants due to the steric resistance of the hydrophilic polyethelene glycol chains. The electrostatic interaction mechanism dominated the interfacial behaviors of ionic pollutants on surfactant-adsorbed MP interfaces. The effects of the surfactants were further verified using four different model pollutants and six surfactants. The adsorption capacities of real environmental MPs, including PVC, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS), increased by three to twenty-six times. The adsorption properties of MPs may be determined by the presence of co-existing surfactants, rather than their polymer species or additives.

Abstract
In-situ and real-time ultra-sensitive monitoring for the degradation process of environmental pollutants is always an important issue of concern to many people. Herein, a multifunctional magnetic metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composite has been successfully constructed and applied in monitoring the disposal of cationic dyes. Owing to its particular MOFs shell and internal gold particles, the composite can be used as an efficient SERS substrate to ultra-sensitively detect the cationic dyes. Furthermore, the prepared MOF-based composite is also a peroxidase-like nanozyme, which can catalytically degrade the adsorbed cationic dyes. Additionally, the magnetic core in the MOF-based composite offers a good magnetic separation capacity, which makes a facile and rapid separation of the catalyst from the reacted solution for recyclability. This work has provided a new way to monitor the catalytic degradation process by SERS technique in the co-existence of catalyst and dye molecules in the reaction system, which can effectively eliminate the absorption of the catalyst compared with the UV-vis technique, showing promising applications in in-situ and real-time pollution disposal monitoring.

Abstract
The present study aimed at preparing three biocatalysts via physical adsorption of lipases from Candida rugosa (CRL), Mucor javanicus, and Candida sp. on a hydrophobic and mesoporous support (Diaion HP-20). These biocatalysts were later applied to the synthesis of aromatic esters of apple peel and citrus (hexyl butyrate), apple and rose (geranyl butyrate), and apricot and pineapple (propyl butyrate). Scanning electron microscopy and gel electrophoresis confirmed a selective adsorption of lipases on Diaion, thus endorsing simultaneous immobilization and purification. Gibbs free energy (∆G) evinced the spontaneity of the process (-17.9 kJ/mol ≤ ∆G ≤ -5.1 kJ/mol). Maximum immobilized protein concentration of 30 mg/g support by CRL. This biocatalyst was the most active in olive oil hydrolysis (hydrolytic activity of 126.0 ± 2.0 U/g) and in the synthesis of aromatic esters. Maximum conversion yield of 89.1% was attained after 150 Min for the synthesis of hexyl butyrate, followed by the synthesis of geranyl butyrate (87.3% after 240 Min) and propyl butyrate (80.0% after 150 Min). CRL immobilized on Diaion retained around 93% of its original activity after six consecutive cycles of 150 Min for the synthesis of hexyl butyrate.

Designing and investigation of photo-active gellan gum for the efficient immobilization of catalase by entrapment. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 161:539-549. [PMID: 32544585 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.06.079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Revised: 06/08/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
A photo-active gellan gum (Gel) derivative was developed by amide bond combination with trans-4-[p-(amino)styryl]pyridine (SP). The SP-Gel was cross-linked by UV curing via the intermolecular 2π + 2π cycloaddition of the inserted SP-CH=CH- moieties. The chemical structure of the obtained photo-crosslinkable biopolymer was investigated before and after the UV curing and the progress of the performed 2π + 2π cycloaddition-based cross-linking was detected via UV-visible light spectra. SP-Gel was evaluated as a polymeric matrix for the immobilization of catalase via entrapment technique. The synthesized biopolymer was mixed with the catalase and molded in the form of membranes that were UV cured to encapsulate the enzyme. The membranes were able to entrap 0.75 mg/cm2 with retained activity reached above 95%. The immobilized catalase displayed higher thermal stability and higher resistance toward the environmental pH disturbances compared to the free enzyme. Also, despite the observed lower catalase-H2O2 affinity upon the entrapment that was indicated from the performed kinetic studies, the reusability and storage stability experiments revealed the economic value of the entire process by preserving around 95% and 83% of the initial catalase activity after the fifth and tenth operation cycles, respectively.
