Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131022. [PMID: 38522688 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
In this work, the adsorption of Candida antarctica B (CALB) and Rhizomucor miehei (RML) lipases into hydrophobic wrinkled silica nanoparticles (WSNs) is investigated. WSNs are hydrophobized by chemical vapor deposition. Both proteins are homogeneously distributed inside the pores of the nanoparticles, as confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray measurements. The maximum enzyme load of CALB is twice that obtained for RML. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy confirms the preservation of the enzyme secondary structure after immobilization for both enzymes. Adsorption isotherms fit to a Langmuir model, resulting in a binding constant (KL) for RML 4.5-fold higher than that for CALB, indicating stronger binding for the former. Kinetic analysis reveals a positive correlation between enzyme load and RML activity unlike CALB where activity decreases along the enzyme load increases. Immobilization allows for enhancing the thermal stability of both lipases. Finally, CALB outperforms RML in the hydrolysis of ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate. However, immobilized CALB yielded 20 % less 3-HBA than free lipase, while immobilized RML increases 3-fold the 3-HBA yield when compared with the free enzyme. The improved performance of immobilized RML can be explained due to the interfacial hyperactivation undergone by this lipase when immobilized on the superhydrophobic surface of WSNs.

Abstract
Smart carrier-based immobilization has widened the use of enzymes for the treatment of several disorders. Large surface areas, tunable morphology, and surface modification ability aid the targeted and controlled release of therapeutic enzymes from such formulations. Smart nanocarriers, such as polymeric carriers, liposomes, and silica have also increased the stability, half-life, and permeability of these enzymes. In this review, summarize recent advances in the smart immobilization of microbial enzymes and their development as precision nanomedicine for the treatment of cancer, thrombosis, phenylketonuria (PKU), and wound healing. We also discuss the challenges and measures to be adopted for the successful clinical translation of these formulations.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129807. [PMID: 38290635 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
β-Agarase was biotinylated and immobilized onto streptavidin-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles to provide insights into the effect of immobilization sites on β-agarase immobilization. Results showed that, compared with free enzyme, the stability of prepared immobilized β-agarases through amino or carboxyl activation were both significantly improved. However, the amino-activated immobilized β-agarase showed higher thermostability and catalytic efficiency than the carboxyl-activated immobilized β-agarase. The relative activity of the former was 65.00 % after incubation at 50 °C for 1 h, which was 1.77-fold higher than that of the latter. Additionally, amino-activated immobilization increased the affinity of the enzyme to the substrate, and its maximum reaction rate (0.68 μmol/min) was superior to that of carboxyl-activated immobilization (0.53 μmol/min). The visualization results showed that the catalytic site of β-agarase after carboxyl-activated immobilization was more susceptible to the immobilization process, and the orientation of the enzyme may also hinder substrate binding and product release. These results suggest that by pre-selecting appropriate activation sites and enzyme orientation, immobilized enzymes with higher catalytic activity and stability can be obtained, making them more suitable for the application of continuous production.

Abstract
One of the most important properties of cellulolytic enzyme is its ability to convert cellulosic polymer into monomeric fermentable sugars which are carbohydrate by nature can efficiently convert into biofuels. However, higher production costs of these enzymes with moderate activity-based stability are the main obstacles to making cellulase-based applications sustainably viable, and this has necessitated rigorous research for the economical availability of this process. Using water hyacinth (WH) waste leaves as the substrate for cellulase production under solid state fermentation (SSF) while treating the fermentation production medium with CuO (cupric oxide oxide) bionanocatalyst have been examined as ways to make fungal cellulase production economically feasible. Herein, a sustainable green synthesis of CuO bionanocatalyst has been performed by using waste leaves of WH. Through XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TEM analysis, the prepared CuO bionanocatalyst's physicochemical properties have been evaluated. Furthermore, the effect of CuO bionanocatalyst on the temperature stability of raw cellulases was observed, and its half-life stability was found to be up to 9 h at 65 °C. The results presented in the current investigation may have broad scope for mass trials for various industrial applications, such as cellulosic biomass conversion.

Abstract
Biofuel production from cellulosic biomass is a promising approach; however, the cost-intensive utilization of cellulolytic enzymes is a major roadblock to economic production. This study reports the preparation of a nanocatalyst using date seed and evaluates the impact of nanocatalysts on cellulolytic enzyme production using solid-state fermentation of date pulp waste through bacterial co-cultivation. Under optimized conditions, 30 IU/gds filter paper activity is produced in the presence of 2 mg of nanocatalyst. Cellulase showed thermal stability at 50 °C and pH 7 up to 10 h in the presence of nanocatalyst, and it produced 32.31 g/L glucose through the hydrolysis of acidic-pretreated date seeds in 24 h. Subsequently, 1788 mL/L of cumulative H2 in 24 h through cocultured dark fermentation could be produced. The approach presented in this study can be effective for multiple value additions, including nanocatalyst preparation, cellulase enzyme, and biohydrogen production.

Abstract
Cellulase-mediated lignocellulosic biorefinery plays a crucial role in the production of high-value biofuels and chemicals, with enzymatic hydrolysis being an essential component. The advent of cellulase immobilization has revolutionized this process, significantly enhancing the efficiency, stability, and reusability of cellulase enzymes. This review offers a thorough analysis of the fundamental principles underlying immobilization, encompassing various immobilization approaches such as physical adsorption, covalent binding, entrapment, and cross-linking. Furthermore, it explores a diverse range of carrier materials, including inorganic, organic, and hybrid/composite materials. The review also focuses on emerging approaches like multi-enzyme co-immobilization, oriented immobilization, immobilized enzyme microreactors, and enzyme engineering for immobilization. Additionally, it delves into novel carrier technologies like 3D printing carriers, stimuli-responsive carriers, artificial cellulosomes, and biomimetic carriers. Moreover, the review addresses recent obstacles in cellulase immobilization, including molecular-level immobilization mechanism, diffusion limitations, loss of cellulase activity, cellulase leaching, and considerations of cost-effectiveness and scalability. The knowledge derived from this review is anticipated to catalyze the evolution of more efficient and sustainable biocatalytic systems for lignocellulosic biomass conversion, representing the current state-of-the-art in cellulase immobilization techniques.

Abstract
The utilization of microbial cellulase enzymes for transforming plant biomass into biofuel or bioethanol, which can serve as a substitute for fossil fuel, is a subject of growing interest. Nonetheless, large-scale production of biofuel using cellulases is not economically feasible as the extraction of these enzymes from diverse microorganisms is an expensive process. To address this issue, immobilizing the enzyme to a substrate material, e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs), to recycle without a significant decline in its catalytic activity is a promising solution. Due to the hydrophobic nature of CNTs, we employed molecular docking and network analysis methodologies to identify potential CNT-binding sites on the outer surface of a wild-type cellulase enzyme, CelS. Classical molecular dynamics simulations of CNT-bound CelS through one of the selected binding sites resulted in negligible changes in the secondary structure of the enzyme and its catalytic domain, implying the least possible effect on the catalytic activity post-immobilization. Furthermore, our study reveals that while the unfolding near the CNT-binding region in CelS is more pronounced when the enzyme is interacting with a wider CNT, resulting in enhanced contact area and improved binding affinity, its impact on the overall CelS structure is relatively less significant when compared to thinner CNTs. Particularly, CNTs of diameter ∼12 Å can serve as a favorable option for substrate materials in cellulase immobilization. Our study also provides critical insights into the binding mechanisms between cellulase and CNTs, which could lead to the development of more efficient biocatalysts for biofuel production.

Abstract
Cellulases are the one of the most highly demanded industrial biocatalysts due to their versatile applications, such as in the biorefinery industry. However, relatively poor efficiency and high production costs are included as the key industrial constraints that hinder enzyme production and utilization at economic scale. Furthermore, the production and functional efficiency of the β-glucosidase (BGL) enzyme is usually found to be relatively low among the cellulase cocktail produced. Thus, the current study focuses on fungi-mediated improvement of BGL enzyme in the presence of a rice straw-derived graphene-silica-based nanocomposite (GSNCs), which has been characterized using various techniques to analyze its physicochemical properties. Under optimized conditions of solid-state fermentation (SSF), co-fermentation using co-cultured cellulolytic enzyme has been done, and maximum enzyme production of 42 IU/gds FP, 142 IU/gds BGL, and 103 IU/gds EG have been achieved at a 5 mg concentration of GSNCs. Moreover, at a 2.5 mg concentration of nanocatalyst, the BGL enzyme showed its thermal stability at 60°C and 70 °C by holding its half-life relative activity for 7 h, while the same enzyme demonstrated pH stability at pH 8.0 and 9.0 for the 10 h. This thermoalkali BGL enzyme might be useful for the long-term bioconversion of cellulosic biomass into sugar.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a promising environmental resource. Enzyme catalysis, as one of the most environmentally friendly and efficient tools among various treatments, is used for the conversion of biomass into chemicals and fuels. Cellulase is a complex enzyme composed of β-glucosidase (BGL), endo-β-1,4-glucanase (EG), and exo-β-1,4-glucanase (CBH), which synergistically hydrolyzes cellulose into monosaccharides. BGL, which further deconstructs cellobiose and short-chain cellooligosaccharides obtained by EG and CBH catalysis into glucose, is the most sensitive component of the synergistic enzyme system constituted by the three enzymes and is highly susceptible to inactivation by external conditions, becoming the rate-limiting component in biomass conversion. This paper firstly introduces the source and catalytic mechanism of BGL used in the process of biomass resource utilization. The focus is on the review of various factors affecting BGL activity during hydrolysis, including competitive adsorption of lignin, gas-liquid interface inactivation, thermal inactivation, and solvent effect. And the methods to improve BGL inactivation are proposed from two aspects-substrate initiation and enzyme initiation. In particular, the screening, modification, and alteration of the enzyme molecules themselves are discussed with emphasis. This review can provide novel ideas for studies of BGL inactivation mechanism, containment of inactivation, and activity enhancement. KEY POINTS: • Factors affecting β-glucosidase inactivation are described. • Process intensification is presented in terms of substrate and enzyme. • Solvent selection, protein engineering, and immobilization remain topics of interest.

[PMID: 36987142 PMCID: PMC10056866 DOI: 10.3390/polym15061361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Carboxylesterase has much to offer in the context of environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives. However, due to the unstable properties of the enzyme in its free state, its application is severely limited. The present study aimed to immobilize hyperthermostable carboxylesterase from Anoxybacillus geothermalis D9 with improved stability and reusability. In this study, Seplite LX120 was chosen as the matrix for immobilizing EstD9 by adsorption. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy verified the binding of EstD9 to the support. According to SEM imaging, the support surface was densely covered with the enzyme, indicating successful enzyme immobilization. BET analysis of the adsorption isotherm revealed reduction of the total surface area and pore volume of the Seplite LX120 after immobilization. The immobilized EstD9 showed broad thermal stability (10-100 °C) and pH tolerance (pH 6-9), with optimal temperature and pH of 80 °C and pH 7, respectively. Additionally, the immobilized EstD9 demonstrated improved stability towards a variety of 25% (v/v) organic solvents, with acetonitrile exhibiting the highest relative activity (281.04%). The bound enzyme exhibited better storage stability than the free enzyme, with more than 70% of residual activity being maintained over 11 weeks. Through immobilization, EstD9 can be reused for up to seven cycles. This study demonstrates the improvement of the operational stability and properties of the immobilized enzyme for better practical applications.

Abstract
β-Glucosidase (BG) catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellobiose to glucose, a substrate for fermentation to produce the carbon-neutral fuel bioethanol. Enzyme thermal stability and reusability can be improved through immobilization onto insoluble supports. Moreover, nanoscaled matrixes allow for preserving high reaction rates. In this work, BG was physically immobilized onto wrinkled SiO2 nanoparticles (WSNs). The adsorption procedure was tuned by varying the BG:WSNs weight ratio to achieve the maximum controllability and maximize the yield of immobilization, while different times of immobilization were monitored. Results show that a BG:WSNs ratio equal to 1:6 wt/wt provides for the highest colloidal stability, whereas an immobilization time of 24 h results in the highest enzyme loading (135 mg/g of support) corresponding to 80% yield of immobilization. An enzyme corona is formed in 2 h, which gradually disappears as the protein diffuses within the pores. The adsorption into the silica structure causes little change in the protein secondary structure. Furthermore, supported enzyme exhibits a remarkable gain in thermal stability, retaining complete folding up to 90 °C. Catalytic tests assessed that immobilized BG achieves 100% cellobiose conversion. The improved adsorption protocol provides simultaneously high glucose production, enhanced yield of immobilization, and good reusability, resulting in considerable reduction of enzyme waste in the immobilization stage.

[PMID: 36770972 PMCID: PMC9919482 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) represent an effective tool for carrier-free immobilization of enzymes. The present study promotes a successful application of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for stabilization of cellulase CLEAs. Catalytically active CLEAs and magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (mCLEAs) of cellulase from Trichoderma reesei were prepared using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linking agent and the catalytic activity and stability of the CLEAs/mCLEAs were investigated. The influence of precipitation agents, cross-linker concentration, concentration of enzyme, addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA), and addition of sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) on expressed activity and immobilization yield of CLEAs/mCLEAs was studied. Particularly, reducing the unsaturated Schiff's base to form irreversible linkages is important and improved the activity of CLEAs (86%) and mCLEAs (91%). For increased applicability of CLEAs/mCLEAs, we enhanced the activity and stability at mild biochemical process conditions. The reusability after 10 cycles of both CLEAs and mCLEAs was investigated, which retained 72% and 65% of the initial activity, respectively. The thermal stability of CLEAs and mCLEAs in comparison with the non-immobilized enzyme was obtained at 30 °C (145.65% and 188.7%, respectively) and 50 °C (185.1% and 141.4%, respectively). Kinetic parameters were determined for CLEAs and mCLEAs, and the KM constant was found at 0.055 ± 0.0102 mM and 0.037 ± 0.0012 mM, respectively. The maximum velocity rate (Vmax) was calculated as 1.12 ± 0.0012 µmol/min for CLEA and 1.17 ± 0.0023 µmol/min for mCLEA. Structural characterization was studied using XRD, SEM, and FT-IR. Catalytical properties of immobilized enzyme were improved with the addition of reducent NaBH3CN by enhancing the activity of CLEAs and with addition of functionalized aminosilane MNPs by enhancing the activity of mCLEAs.

Abstract
Development of low-cost and economic cellulase production is among the key challenges due to its broad industrial applications. One of the main topics of research pertaining to sustainable biomass waste based biorefinaries is the development of economic cellulase production strategies. The main cause of the increase in cellulase production costs is the use of commercial substrates; as a result, the cost of any cellulase-based bioprocess can be decreased by employing a productive, low-cost substrate. The goal of the current study is to develop low-cost cellulase using the carbohydrate-rich, renewable, and widely accessible cyanobacteria algae Oscillatoria obscura as the production substrate. Maximum cellulase was produced utilising the fungus Rhizopus oryzae at substrate concentration of 7.0 g among various tested concentrations of algal biomass. Maximum production rates of 22 IU/gds FP, 105 IU/gds BGL, and 116 IU/gds EG in 72 h were possible under optimal conditions and substrate concentration. Further investigations on the crude enzyme's stability in the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) revealed that it was thermally stable at 60 °C for up to 8 h. Additionally, the crude enzyme demonstrated pH stability by maintaining its complete activity at pH 6.0 for 8 h in the presence of the optimal dose of 15 mg IONPs. The outcomes of this research may be used to investigate the possibility of producing such enzymes in large quantities at low cost for industrial use.

Abstract
Nanobiocatalysts, i.e., enzymes immobilized on nanostructured supports, received considerable attention because they are potential remedies to overcome shortcomings of traditional biocatalysts, such as low efficiency of mass transfer, instability during catalytic reactions, and possible deactivation. In this short review, we will analyze major aspects of immobilization of cellulase-an enzyme for cellulosic biomass waste processing-on nanostructured supports. Such supports provide high surface areas, increased enzyme loading, and a beneficial environment to enhance cellulase performance and its stability, leading to nanobiocatalysts for obtaining biofuels and value-added chemicals. Here, we will discuss such nanostructured supports as carbon nanotubes, polymer nanoparticles (NPs), nanohydrogels, nanofibers, silica NPs, hierarchical porous materials, magnetic NPs and their nanohybrids, based on publications of the last five years. The use of magnetic NPs is especially favorable due to easy separation and the nanobiocatalyst recovery for a repeated use. This review will discuss methods for cellulase immobilization, morphology of nanostructured supports, multienzyme systems as well as factors influencing the enzyme activity to achieve the highest conversion of cellulosic biowaste into fermentable sugars. We believe this review will allow for an enhanced understanding of such nanobiocatalysts and processes, allowing for the best solutions to major problems of sustainable biorefinery.

Abstract
The thermophilic cellulase Cel5a from Fervidobacterium nodosum (FnCel5a) was conjugated with neutral, cationic, and anionic polymers of increasing molecular weights. The enzymatic activity toward an anionic soluble cellulose derivative, thermal stability, and functional chemical stability of these bioconjugates were investigated. The results suggest that increasing polymer chain length for polymers compatible with the substrate enhances the positive impact of polymer conjugation on enzymatic activity. Activity enhancements of nearly 100% were observed for bioconjugates with N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMAm) and N,N-dimethyl acrylamide-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAm/DMAEMA) due to proposed polymer-substrate compatibility enabled by potential noncovalent interactions. Double conjugation of two functionally distinct polymers to wild-type and mutated FnCel5a using two conjugation methods was achieved. These doubly conjugated bioconjugates exhibited similar thermal stability to the unmodified wild-type enzyme, although enzymatic activity initially gained from conjugation was lost, suggesting that chain length may be a better tool for bioconjugate activity modulation than double conjugation.

Abstract
Lignocellulose biomass (LCB) has extensive applications in many fields such as bioenergy, food, medicines, and raw materials for producing value-added products. One of the keys to efficient utilization of LCB is to obtain directly available oligo- and monomers (e.g., glucose). With the characteristics of easy recovery and separation, high efficiency, economy, and environmental protection, immobilized enzymes have been developed as heterogeneous catalysts to degrade LCB effectively. In this review, applications and mechanisms of LCB-degrading enzymes are discussed, and the nanomaterials and methods used to immobilize enzymes are also discussed. Finally, the research progress of lignocellulose biodegradation catalyzed by nano-enzymes was discussed.

Abstract
β-Glucosidase is part of the cellulases and is responsible for degrading cellobiose into glucose, a compound that can be used to produce biofuels. However, the use of the free enzyme makes the process more expensive. Enzyme immobilization improves catalytic characteristics and supports, such as zeolites, which have physical-chemical characteristics and ion exchange capacity that have a promising application in the biotechnological industry. This research aimed to immobilize by adsorption a recombinant β-glucosidase from Trichoderma reesei, obtained in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), in a commercial zeolite. A Box Behnken statistical design was applied to find the optimal immobilization parameters, the stability against pH and temperature was determined, and the immobilized enzyme was characterized by SEM. The highest enzymatic activity was determined with 100 mg of zeolite at 35 °C and 175 min. Compared to the free enzyme, the immobilized recombinant β-glucosidase presented greater activity from pH 2 to 4 and greater thermostability. The kinetic parameters were calculated, and a lower KM value was obtained for the immobilized enzyme compared to the free enzyme. The obtained immobilization parameters by a simple adsorption method and the significant operational stability indicate promising applications in different fields.
