Abstract
In this experiment, the prepared tea biochar-cellulose@LDH material (TB-CL@LDH) was combined with mycelium pellets to form the composite mycelial pellets (CMP), then assembled and immobilized with strains Pseudomonas sp. Y1 and Cupriavidus sp. ZY7 to construct a bioreactor. At the best operating parameters, the initial concentrations of phosphate (PO43--P), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), chemical oxygen demand (COD), zinc (Zn2+), and phenol were 22.3, 25.0, 763.8, 1.0, and 1.0 mg L-1, the corresponding removal efficiencies were 80.4, 87.0, 83.4, 91.8, and 96.6%, respectively. Various characterization analyses demonstrated that the strain Y1 used the additional carbon source produced by the strain ZY7 degradation of cellulose to enhance the removal of composite pollutants and clarified the principle of Zn2+ and PO43--P removal by adsorption, co-precipitation and biomineralization. Pseudomonas and Cupriavidus were the dominant genera according to the high-throughput sequencing. As shown by KEGG results, nitrification and denitrification genes were affected by phenol. The study offers prospects for the simultaneous removal of complex pollutants consisting of NH4+-N, PO43--P, Zn2+, and phenol.

Abstract
Microbial diversity from indigenous cultures has the potential to accelerate lignocellulose degradation through enzymes and make composting economically feasible. Therefore, this study is designed to boost cellulase output from a bacterial strain obtained from soil using a one-variable-at-a-time approach and response surface methodology. The bacteria recognized as Bacillus tequilensis (ON754229) produced the maximum cellulase at a temperature of 37 °C, pH -7.0, and incubation time of 72 h. A major contribution was anticipated by glucose (17 %) and ammonium sulfate (11 %) with cellulase activity of 0.56 U/mL in the optimized medium. The enzyme possessed activity of CMCase, FPase, and amylase of 0.589 μmol/min, 1.22 μmol/min, and 0.92 μmol/min respectively. SDS-PAGE showed a 65 kDa molecular weight of the enzyme capable of degrading cellulose, as confirmed by zymogram analysis. The enzyme showed relatively moderate thermo-stability towards neutral pH conditions possessing optimum conditions at pH 6.5 and temperature of 50 °C. The Km and Vmax values were 11.44 mM and 0.643 μmol/min respectively. The presence of MgSO4, ZnSO4, and Triton X- 100 increased the enzymatic reaction however AgNO3, EDTA, and HgCl2 altered the activation process. These results showed cellulase from B. tequilensis SB125 would be suitable for conventional industrial processes that convert biomass into biofuels.

Abstract
Collagen nanoparticles (collagen-NPs) are promising biological polymer nanoparticles due to their exceptional biodegradability and biocompatibility. Collagen-NPs were bio-fabricated from pure marine collagen using the cell-free supernatant of a newly isolated strain, Streptomyces sp. strain NEAA-3. Streptomyces sp. strain NEAA-3 was identified as Streptomyces plicatus strain NEAA-3 based on its cultural, morphological, physiological properties and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The sequence data has been deposited under accession number OR501412.1 in the GenBank database. The face-centered central composite design (FCCD) was used to improve collagen-NPs biosynthesis. The maximum yield of collagen-NPs was 9.33 mg/mL with a collagen concentration of 10 mg/mL, an initial pH of 7, an incubation time of 72 h, and a temperature of 35 °C. Using the desirability function approach, the collagen-NPs biosynthesis obtained after FCCD optimization (9.53 mg/mL) was 3.92 times more than the collagen-NPs biosynthesis obtained before optimization process (2.43 mg/mL). The TEM analysis of collagen-NPs revealed hollow sphere nanoscale particles with an average diameter of 33.15 ± 10.02 nm. FTIR spectra confirmed the functional groups of the collagen, collagen-NPs and the cell-free supernatant that are essential for the efficient capping of collagen-NPs. The biosynthesized collagen-NPs exhibited antioxidant activity and anticancer activity against HeP-G2, MCF-7 and HCT116 cell lines. Collagen-NPs assessed as an effective drug loading carrier with methotrexate (MTX), a chemotherapeutic agent. The TEM analysis revealed that the average size of MTX-loaded collagen-NPs was 35.4 ± 8.9 nm. The percentages of drug loading (DL%) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) were respectively 22.67 and 45.81%.

Abstract
Actinomycetes are an attractive source of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes. The search for actinomycetes producing extremozyme cellulase using cheap lignocellulosic waste remains a priority goal of enzyme research. In this context, the extremophilic actinomycete NBRM9 showed promising cellulolytic activity in solid and liquid assays. This actinomycete was identified as Nocardiopsis synnemataformans based on its phenotypic characteristics alongside phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequencing (OQ380604.1). Using bean straw as the best agro-waste, the production of cellulase from this strain was statistically optimized using a response surface methodology, with the maximum activity (13.20 U/mL) achieved at an incubation temperature of 40 °C, a pH of 9, an incubation time of 7 days, and a 2% substrate concentration. The partially purified cellulase (PPC) showed promising activity and stability over a wide range of temperatures (20-90 °C), pH values (3-11), and NaCl concentrations (1-19%), with optimal activity at 50 °C, pH 9.0, and 10% salinity. Under these conditions, the enzyme retained >95% of its activity, thus indicating its extremozyme nature. The kinetics of cellulase showed that it has a Vmax of 20.19 ± 1.88 U/mL and a Km of 0.25 ± 0.07 mM. The immobilized PPC had a relative activity of 69.58 ± 0.13%. In the in vitro microtiter assay, the PPC was found to have a concentration-dependent anti-biofilm activity (up to 85.15 ± 1.60%). Additionally, the fermentative conversion of the hydrolyzed bean straw by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (KM504287.1) amounted to 65.80 ± 0.52% of the theoretical ethanol yield. Overall, for the first time, the present work reports the production of extremozymatic (thermo, alkali-, and halo-stable) cellulase from N. synnemataformans NBRM9. Therefore, this strain is recommended for use as a biotool in many lignocellulosic-based applications operating under harsh conditions.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are highly promising in cancer therapy, wound healing, drug delivery, biosensing, and biomedical imaging. Furthermore, GNPs have anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, antioxidants, anti-proliferative and anti-diabetic effects. The present study presents an eco-friendly approach for GNPs biosynthesis using the cell-free supernatant of Streptomyces albogriseolus as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The biosynthesized GNPs have a maximum absorption peak at 540 nm. The TEM images showed that GNPs ranged in size from 5.42 to 13.34 nm and had a spherical shape. GNPs have a negatively charged surface with a Zeta potential of - 24.8 mV. FTIR analysis identified several functional groups including C-H, -OH, C-N, amines and amide groups. The crystalline structure of GNPs was verified by X-ray diffraction and the well-defined and distinct diffraction rings observed by the selected area electron diffraction analysis. To optimize the biosynthesis of GNPs using the cell-free supernatant of S. albogriseolus, 30 experimental runs were conducted using central composite design (CCD). The artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to analyze, validate, and predict GNPs biosynthesis compared to CCD. The maximum experimental yield of GNPs (778.74 μg/mL) was obtained with a cell-free supernatant concentration of 70%, a HAuCl4 concentration of 800 μg/mL, an initial pH of 7, and a 96-h incubation time. The theoretically predicted yields of GNPs by CCD and ANN were 809.89 and 777.32 μg/mL, respectively, which indicates that ANN has stronger prediction potential compared to the CCD. The anticancer activity of GNPs was compared to that of doxorubicin (Dox) in vitro against the HeP-G2 human cancer cell line. The IC50 values of Dox and GNPs-based treatments were 7.26 ± 0.4 and 22.13 ± 1.3 µg/mL, respectively. Interestingly, treatments combining Dox and GNPs together showed an IC50 value of 3.52 ± 0.1 µg/mL, indicating that they targeted cancer cells more efficiently.

Abstract
Collagen nanoparticles (collagen-NPs) are promising biopolymeric nanoparticles due to their superior biodegradability and biocompatibility. The low immunogenicity and non-toxicity of collagen-NPs makes it preferable for a wide range of applications. A total of eight morphologically distinct actinomycetes strains were newly isolated from various soil samples in Egypt. The cell-free supernatants of these strains were tested for their ability. These strains' cell-free supernatants were tested for their ability to synthesize collagen-NPs. Five isolates had the ability to biosynthesize collagen-NPs. Among these, a potential culture, Streptomyces sp. NEAA-1, was chosen and identified as Streptomyces xinghaiensis NEAA-1 based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis as well as morphological, cultural and physiological properties. The sequence data has been deposited at the GenBank database under the accession No. OQ652077.1. Face-centered central composite design (FCCD) has been conducted to maximize collagen-NPs biosynthesis. Maximum collagen-NPs was 8.92 mg/mL under the condition of 10 mg/mL of collagen concentration, initial pH 7, incubation time of 48 h and temperature of 35 °C. The yield of collagen-NPs obtained via FCCD optimization (8.92 mg/mL) was 3.32-fold compared to the yield obtained under non-optimized conditions (2.5 mg/mL). TEM analysis of collagen-NPs showed hollow sphere nanoscale particles with mean of 32.63 ± 14.59 nm in diameter. FTIR spectra showed major peaks of amide I, amide II and amide III of collagen and also the cell-free supernatant involved in effective capping of collagen-NPs. The biosynthesized collagen-NPs exhibited anti-hemolytic, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. The inhibitory concentrations (IC50) against MCF-7, HeP-G2 and HCT116 cell lines were 11.62 ± 0.8, 19.60 ± 1.2 and 41.67 ± 2.2 µg/mL; respectively. The in-vivo investigation showed that collagen-NPs can suppress Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) growth in mice. The collagen-NPs/DOX combination treatment showed considerable tumor growth suppression (95.58%). Collagen-NPs evaluated as nanocarrier with a chemotherapeutic agent, methotrexate (MTX). The average size of MTX loaded collagen-NPs was 42.73 ± 3.5 nm. Encapsulation efficiency percentage (EE %) was 48.91% and drug loading percentage (DL %) was 24.45%.

Abstract
Heavy metals are considered the most common pollutants in industrial wastewater areas. Out of thirty bacterial isolates, only 3 isolates sighted the highest metal resistance activity for Zn+2, Fe+2, Pb+2, Co+2, Mn+2, Ni+2, and Cd+2. The biochemical and DNA homology identification with similarities 99.58%, 99.79%, and 99.86% of those isolates was identified and deposited in WDCM, respectively, as Enterobacter kobei OM144907 SCUF0000311, Enterobacter cloacae OM180597 SCUF0000312, and Enterobacter hormaechei OM181067 SCUF0000313. The minimum tolerance activity (MIC) of heavy metal concentrations against E. kobei and E. cloacae was 25, 15, and 15 mmol/l for Ni+2, Fe+2, and Mn+2, respectively, and 10 mmol/l for Zn+2, Pb+2, Co+2, and Cd+2, while against E. hormaechei, it is 15 mmol/l for Ni+2, Fe+2, and Mn+2 and 10 mmol/l for Zn+2, Pb+2, Co+2, and Cd+2. The consortium and solitary application of bacterial isolates towards heavy metal removal at 100%, 200%, and 300% industrial wastewater concentrations were conducted and showed that more than 90% removal of Zn+2, Fe+2, Pb+2, Mn+2, Ni+2, and Cd+2 from a non-concentrated polluted sample (100%) was reported by the three strains. With doubling the polluted sample concentration (200%), the highest removal efficiency for Zn+2, Pb+2, Mn+2, Ni+2, and Cd+2 was reported by E. cloacae as 70. 75, 66, 65, and 57%, respectively. Removal efficiency after increasing the polluted sample concentration to 300% showed that E. cloacae removed above 45% of all tested heavy metals except Pb+2. Ultimately, E. cloacae exposed the highest efficiency with recommendations for heavy metals removal under higher concentrations.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human bacterial pathogen causing devastating diseases and equipped with various virulence factors like biofilm formation. Common antibiotic treatment has limited efficacy for the P. aeruginosa present in biofilms because of the increased resistance. In this study, we focused our attention on the antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities of various microbial synthesized silver (nano-Ag) and magnetic iron oxide (nano-Fe3O4) nanoparticles against clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa that displayed ceftazidime resistance. The nano-Ag and nano-Fe3O4 represented great antibacterial properties. Nano-Ag and nano-Fe3O4 exhibited a reduction in the biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa reference strain as determined by crystal violet and XTT assays and light microscopy method. Among all, nano-Ag-2 and 7 owing to inherent attributes and mechanisms of resistance in the bacterial biofilm, exhibited anti-biofilm efficacy against ceftazidime resistance clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa. Moreover, nano-Ag and nano-Fe3O4 changed the relative expression of biofilm-associated genes, PELA and PSLA in a concentration dependent manner by P. aeruginosa reference strain. As revealed by qRT-PCR, the expression levels of biofilm-associated genes were downregulated in P. aeruginosa biofilms treated with nano-Ag, while selected biofilm-associated genes were low expressed under treated with nano-Fe3O4. Results of the study demonstrate the potential of microbial synthesized nano-Ag-2 and 7 to act as anti-biofilm agents against ceftazidime resistance clinical isolate of P. aeruginosa. Molecular targeting of biofilm-associated genes by nano-Ag and nano-Fe3O4 may be candidate for new therapeutics against P. aeruginosa diseases.

Abstract
Although new antibiofilm agents have been developed to prevent and eliminate pathogenic biofilms, their widespread clinical use is hindered by poor biocompatibility and bioavailability, unspecific interactions and insufficient local concentrations. The development of innovative drug delivery strategies can facilitate penetration of antimicrobials through biofilms, promote drug dispersal and synergistic bactericidal effects, and provide novel paradigms for clinical application. In this Review, we discuss the potential benefits of such emerging techniques for improving the clinical efficacy of antibiofilm agents, as well as highlighting the existing limitations and future prospects for these therapies in the clinic.

Abstract
The enzyme endoglucanase is responsible for the depolymerization of cellulose. This study focuses on characterization and purification of endoglucanase from Rhizopus oryzae MTCC 9642 through a simple size exclusion method and its effective application as an antibiofilm agent. Extracellular ß-1,4-endoglucanase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of carboxymethyl cellulose, was found to be synthesized by Rhizopus oryzae MTCC 9642. The enzyme was purified up to homogeneity simply by size exclusion process through ultrafiltration and gel chromatography. The molecular weight of purified enzyme protein was estimated to be 39.8 kDa and it showed the highest substrate affinity towards carboxymethyl-cellulose with Km and Vmax values of 0.833 mg ml-1 and of 0.33 mmol glucose min-1 mg-1protein, respectively. The purified enzyme exhibited optimal activity at pH 6 with a broad stability range of pH 3-8. The most preferred temperature was 35 °C and 50% of activity could be retained after the thermal exposure at 40 °C for 25 min. The purified enzyme protein was inactivated by Cu2+, while the activity could be enhanced by the addition of exogenous thiols. Since biofilm is a challenge for health sector, with the aim of eradicating the biofilm, the purified endoglucanase was used to remove biofilm produced by two nosocomial bacteria. As predicted by in silico molecular docking interaction, the purified enzyme could effectively degrade biofilm architecture of bacterial strains S. aureus and P. aeruginosa by 76.52 ± 6.52% and 61.67 ± 8.76%, respectively. The properties of purified enzyme protein, as elucidated by in vitro and in silico characterization, may be favourable for its commercial applications as a potent antibiofilm agent.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are complex microbial communities encased in extracellular polymeric substances. Their formation is a multi-step process. Biofilms are a significant problem in treating bacterial infections and are one of the main reasons for the persistence of infections. They can exhibit increased resistance to classical antibiotics and cause disease through device-related and non-device (tissue) -associated infections, posing a severe threat to global health issues. Therefore, early detection and search for new and alternative treatments are essential for treating and suppressing biofilm-associated infections. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the formation of bacterial biofilms, associated infections, detection methods, and potential treatment strategies, aiming to provide researchers with the latest progress in the detection and treatment of bacterial biofilms.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 238:124284.

Abstract
Co-fermentation via co-cultured bacterial microorganisms to develop enzymes in solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a promising approach. This strategy is imperative in a series of sustainable and effective approaches due to superior microbial growth and the use of a combination of inexpensive feedstocks for enzyme production wherein mutually participating enzyme-producing microbial communities are employed. Moreover, the addition of nanomaterials to this technique may aid in its prominent advantage of enhancing enzyme production. This strategy may be able to decrease the overall cost of the bioprocessing to produce enzymes by further implementing biogenic, route-derived nanomaterials as catalysts.Therefore, the present study attempts to explore endoglucanase (EG) production using a bacterial coculture system by employing two different bacterial strains, namely, Bacillus subtillius and Seretia marchansea under SSF in the presence of a ZnMg hydroxide-based nanocompositeas a nanocatalyst. The nanocatalyst based on ZnMg hydroxide has been prepared via green synthesis using Litchi waste seed, while SSF for EG production has been conducted using cofermentation of litchi seed (Ls) and paddy straw (Ps) waste. Under an optimized substrate concentration ratio of 5:6 Ps:Ls and in the presence of 2.0 mg of nanocatalyst, the cocultured bacterial system produced 1.6 IU/mL of EG enzyme, which was ~1.33 fold higher as compared to the control. Additionally, the same enzyme showed its stability for 135 min in the presence of 1.0 mg of nanocatalyst at 38 °C. The nanocatalyst has been synthesized using the green method, wherein waste litchi seed is used as a reducing agent, and the nanocatalyst could be employed to improve the production and functional stability of crude enzymes. The findings of the present study may have significant application in lignocellulosic-based biorefinaries and cellulosic waste management.

Abstract
The demand for enzymes is increasing continuously due to their applications in various avenues. The pectin-hydrolyzing bacteria, Cellulomonas sp. and Bacillus sp., isolated from forest soil have the potential to produce industrially important enzymes (pectinase, PGase, Cellulase, and xylanase). However, these bacteria have different optimal cultural conditions for pectinase production. The optimal cultural conditions for Cellulomonas sp. were room temperature (25-26℃), pH 7, 1% inoculum volume, and 1.5% citrus pectin with 8.82 ± 0.92 U/mL pectinase activity. And Bacillus sp. illustrated the highest pectinase activity (12.35 ± 0.72 U/mL) at room temperature, pH 10, 1% inoculum volume, and 1.5% pectin concentration. Among the different agro-wastes, the orange peel was found to be the best substrate for pectinase, PGase, and cellulase activity whereas barley straw for xylanase activity. Further, Cellulomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. illustrated higher pectinase activity from commercial pectin compared to orange peel showing their preference for commercial citrus pectin. In addition, the optimization by the Box-Behnken design increased pectinase activity for Cellulomonas sp., while a noticeable increase in activity was not observed in Bacillus sp. Besides, all the agro-wastes exploited in this study can be used for pectinase, PGase, and xylanase production but not cellulase. The study revealed that each bacteria has its specific optimal conditions and there is a variation in the capacity of utilizing the various lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
The application of on-site produced cellulolytic enzymes in place of commercial enzymes towards hydrolytic preparations of reducing sugars using inexpensive lignocellulosic wastes is considered the most efficient strategy to accomplish a cost-effective biofuel production process. Along with improved production, intrinsic and systematic performance evaluation of the produced enzyme during the hydrolysis process through kinetic intervention remains a crucial requirement for achieving the improved performance of the process. With this motivation, the present study primarily deals with the nutritionally optimized production strategy of cellulases from rice straw (RS) waste using Trichoderma reesei (MTCC 164). The highest cellulase production was obtained 8.09 ± 0.32 g/l in batch mode at optimized combinations of 3.5% (w/v) RS inducer, 3.0% (w/v) lactose, and 1.5% (w/v) peptone. Production was further improved through pH-regulated (pH 5.5 to 6.5) fed-batch fermentations. The enzyme produced at pH 6 was considered for hydrolysis studies at 4 to 10% (w/w) solid loading due to reasonable exoglucanase, endoglucanase, and maximum β-glucosidase activity levels of 9.3 U/ml, 3.87 U/ml, and 2.65 U/ml respectively. Multi-reaction systematic kinetic modeling was implemented to evaluate enzyme performance during hydrolysis, and the values of inhibitory kinetic parameters (K2r = 7.1 < K1r = 18.5 < K3r = 276.6) suggested that sequential conversion of cellulose to glucose by existing enzyme components was more dominant over direct conversion.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae HML366 is a newly screened cellulase-producing strain. The endoglucanase HML ED1 from A. oryzae HML366 was quickly purified by a two-step method that combines ammonium sulfate precipitation and strong anion exchange column. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis indicated that the molecular weight of the enzyme was 68 kDa. The optimum temperature of the purified endoglucanase was 60 ℃ and the enzyme activity was stable below 70 ℃. The optimum pH was 6.5, and the enzyme activity was stable at pH between 4.5 and 9.0. The analysis indicated that additional Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Zn2+ reduced the catalytic ability of enzyme to the substrate, but Mn2+ enhanced its catalytic ability to the substrate.The Km and Vmax of the purified endoglucanase were 8.75 mg/mL and 60.24 μmol/min·mg, respectively. In this study, we report for the first time that A. oryzae HML366 can produce a heat-resistant and wide pH tolerant endoglucanase HML ED1, which has potential industrial application value in bioethanol, paper, food, textile, detergent, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
The cultural parameters of Streptomyces sp. for pectinase production were optimized using the Box-Behnken design. The maximum pectinase production was obtained after 58 h at 35°C and pH 7 upon submerged fermentation in yeast extract-containing media. The enzymes were partially purified with acetone precipitation, and the analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and zymogram revealed that Streptomyces sp. produced two pectinases protein with molecular weights of about 25 and 75 kDa. The pectinase activity was detected in a wide range of temperatures (30°C-80°C) and pH (3-9) with maximum pectinase activities observed at 70°C and pH 5 and 9. The enzymes retained about 30-40% of their activities even after incubating the enzyme at different temperatures for 120 min. The pectinase activities of Streptomyces sp. were enhanced in the media containing 1.5% pectin, 1% casein as a nitrogen source, 0.5 mM MgSO4, and 5 mM NaCl. Further, the addition of Tween-20, amino acids, and vitamins to the media also enhanced the pectinase activity. Moreover, the bacterium illustrated the ability to decolorize crystal violet dye efficiently. The decolorization rate ranged from 39.29 to 53.75%, showing the highest bacterial decolorization in the media containing 2 mg/mL crystal violet at 144 h. Therefore, the bacterium has the potential in treating wastewater produced by industries like textile industries.

Abstract
The high use of pesticides, herbicides, and unsustainable farming practices resulted in losses of soil quality. Sustainable farming practices such as intercropping could be a good alternative to traditional monocrop, especially using legumes such as cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp). In this study, different melon and cowpea intercropping patterns (melon mixed with cowpea in the same row (MC1); alternating one melon row and one cowpea row (MC2); alternating two melon rows and one cowpea row (MC3)) were assayed to study the intercropping effect on soil bacterial community through 16S rRNA region in a 3-year experiment. The results indicated that intercropping showed high content of total organic carbon, total nitrogen and ammonium, melon yield, and bacterial diversity as well as higher levels of beneficial soil microorganisms such a Pseudomonas, Aeromicrobium, Niastella, or Sphingomonas which can promote plant growth and plant defense against pathogens. Furthermore, intercropping showed a higher rare taxa diversity in two (MC1 and MC2) out of the three intercropping systems. In addition, N-cycling genes such as nirB, nosZ, and amoA were more abundant in MC1 and MC2 whereas the narG predicted gene was far more abundant in the intercropping systems than in the monocrop at the end of the 3-year experiment. This research fills a gap in knowledge about the importance of soil bacteria in an intercropping melon/cowpea pattern, showing the benefits to yield and soil quality with a decrease in N fertilization.

Abstract
This study emphasizes on the cellulase production characteristics of strain ZY7 and its collaboration with nitrate-dependent ferrous oxidizing (NFO) strain XL4 to achieve efficient denitrification at low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio. Results indicated that the denitrification efficiency increased from 65.47 to 97.99% at 24 h after co-culture at C/N of 1.0. Three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) showed significant changes in the intensity of soluble microbial products (SMP), fulvic-like materials, and aromatic proteins after co-culture. Bio-precipitates were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), which showed that cellulose structure was disrupted and the metabolites were potential carbon source for denitrification. In addition, cellulase activity suggested that the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds and oligosaccharides may be the rate-limiting steps in cellulose degradation. This work promoted the understanding of denitrification characteristics of co-culture and expanded the application of cellulose degrading bacteria in sewage treatment.

Abstract
Release of dye-containing textile wastewater into the environment causes severe pollution with serious consequences on aquatic life. Bioremediation of dyes using thermophilic microorganisms has recently attracted attention over conventional treatment techniques. Thermophiles have the natural ability to survive under extreme environmental conditions, including high dye concentration, because they possess stress response adaptation and regulation mechanisms. Therefore, dye detoxification by thermophiles could offer enormous opportunities for bioremediation at elevated temperatures. In addition, the processes of degradation generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subject cells to oxidative stress. However, thermophiles exhibit better adaptation to resist the effects of oxidative stress. Some of the major adaptation mechanisms of thermophiles include macromolecule repair system; enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase; and non-enzymatic antioxidants like extracellular polymeric substance (EPSs), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), etc. In addition, different bacteria also possess enzymes that are directly involved in dye degradation such as azoreductase, laccase, and peroxidase. Therefore, through these processes, dyes are first degraded into smaller intermediate products finally releasing products that are non-toxic or of low toxicity. In this review, we discuss the sources of oxidative stress in thermophiles, the adaptive response of thermophiles to redox stress and their roles in dye removal, and the regulation and crosstalk between responses to oxidative stress.

Abstract
The characterization of bacteria with hydrolytic potential significantly contributes to the industries. Six cellulose-degrading bacteria were isolated from mixture soil samples collected at Kingfisher Lake and the University of Manitoba campus by Congo red method using carboxymethyl cellulose agar medium and identified as Paenarthrobacter sp. MKAL1, Hymenobacter sp. MKAL2, Mycobacterium sp. MKAL3, Stenotrophomonas sp. MKAL4, Chryseobacterium sp. MKAL5, and Bacillus sp. MKAL6. Their cellulase production was optimized by controlling different environmental and nutritional factors such as pH, temperature, incubation period, substrate concentration, nitrogen, and carbon sources using the dinitrosalicylic acid and response surface methods. Except for Paenarthrobacter sp. MKAL1, all strains are motile. Only Bacillus sp. MKAL6 was non-salt-tolerant and showed gelatinase activity. Sucrose enhanced higher cellulase activity of 78.87 ± 4.71 to 190.30 ± 6.42 U/mL in these strains at their optimum pH (5-6) and temperature (35-40 °C). The molecular weights of these cellulases were about 25 kDa. These bacterial strains could be promising biocatalysts for converting cellulose into glucose for industrial purposes.

Gut Microbial Ecology of Five Species of Sympatric Desert Rodents in Relation to Herbivorous and Insectivorous Feeding Strategies. Integr Comp Biol 2022; 62:237-251. [PMID: 35587374 DOI: 10.1093/icb/icac045] [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: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The gut microbial communities of mammals provide numerous benefits to their hosts. However, given the recent development of the microbiome field, we still lack a thorough understanding of the variety of ecological and evolutionary factors that structure these communities across species. Metabarcoding is a powerful technique that allows for multiple microbial ecology questions to be investigated simultaneously. Here, we employed DNA metabarcoding techniques, predictive metagenomics, and culture-dependent techniques to inventory the gut microbial communities of several species of rodent collected from the same environment that employ different natural feeding strategies [granivorous pocket mice (Chaetodipus penicillatus); granivorous kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami); herbivorous woodrats (Neotoma albigula); omnivorous cactus mice (Peromyscus eremicus), and insectivorous grasshopper mice (Onychomys torridus)]. Of particular interest were shifts in gut microbial communities in rodent species with herbivorous and insectivorous diets, given the high amounts of indigestible fibers and chitinous exoskeleton in these diets, respectively. We found that herbivorous woodrats harbored the greatest microbial diversity. Granivorous pocket mice and kangaroo rats had the highest abundances of the genus Ruminococcus and highest predicted abundances of genes related to the digestion of fiber, representing potential adaptations in these species to the fiber content of seeds and the limitations to digestion given their small body size. Insectivorous grasshopper mice exhibited the greatest inter-individual variation in the membership of their microbiomes, and also exhibited the highest predicted abundances of chitin-degrading genes. Culture-based approaches identified 178 microbial isolates (primarily Bacillus and Enterococcus) capable of degrading cellulose and chitin. We observed several instances of strain-level diversity in these metabolic capabilities across isolates, somewhat highlighting the limitations and hidden diversity underlying DNA metabarcoding techniques. However, these methods offer power in allowing the investigation of several questions concurrently, thus enhancing our understanding of gut microbial ecology.

Abstract
Economic biowaste to biofuels production technology suffers from issues including high production cost of cellulase enzyme and its low efficiency. In this study five lignocellulosic biomass based on their high cellulosic contents are employed in 1:1 ratio with mixed fungal consortia to achieve enhance cellulase production via solid state fermentation. Under the optimum condition total 41 IU/gds FP activity was achieved in 120 h at 40 °C and pH 6.0. Further, crude cellulase was evaluated to improve thermal and pH stability under the influence of 2.0 mg/L NiFe2O4 nanoparticles, showed stability at 70 °C and pH 6.0 up to 8 h. Consequently, NiFe2O4 nanoparticles treated cellulase was used for the enzymatic hydrolysis of alkali treated wheat straw, and total 53 g/L reducing sugars could be produced in 18 h at 65 °C and pH 6.0. Thus, nanoparticles mediated enzymatic hydrolysis exhibited ∼ 29% and ∼ 28% higher sugar yield and productivity as compared to control after 18 h.

Flavobacterium flabelliforme sp. nov. and Flavobacterium geliluteum sp. nov., Two Multidrug-Resistant Psychrotrophic Species Isolated From Antarctica. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:729977. [PMID: 34745033 PMCID: PMC8570120 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.729977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite unfavorable Antarctic conditions, such as cold temperatures, freeze-thaw cycles, high ultraviolet radiation, dryness and lack of nutrients, microorganisms were able to adapt and surprisingly thrive in this environment. In this study, eight cold-adapted Flavobacterium strains isolated from a remote Antarctic island, James Ross Island, were studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach to determine their taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene and 92 core genes clearly showed that these strains formed two distinct phylogenetic clusters comprising three and five strains, with average nucleotide identities significantly below 90% between both proposed species as well as between their closest phylogenetic relatives. Phenotyping revealed a unique pattern of biochemical and physiological characteristics enabling differentiation from the closest phylogenetically related Flavobacterium spp. Chemotaxonomic analyses showed that type strains P4023T and P7388T were characterized by the major polyamine sym-homospermidine and a quinone system containing predominantly menaquinone MK-6. In the polar lipid profile phosphatidylethanolamine, an ornithine lipid and two unidentified lipids lacking a functional group were detected as major lipids. These characteristics along with fatty acid profiles confirmed that these species belong to the genus Flavobacterium. Thorough genomic analysis revealed the presence of numerous cold-inducible or cold-adaptation associated genes, such as cold-shock proteins, proteorhodopsin, carotenoid biosynthetic genes or oxidative-stress response genes. Genomes of type strains surprisingly harbored multiple prophages, with many of them predicted to be active. Genome-mining identified biosynthetic gene clusters in type strain genomes with a majority not matching any known clusters which supports further exploratory research possibilities involving these psychrotrophic bacteria. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed a pattern of multidrug-resistant phenotypes that were correlated with in silico antibiotic resistance prediction. Interestingly, while typical resistance finder tools failed to detect genes responsible for antibiotic resistance, genomic prediction confirmed a multidrug-resistant profile and suggested even broader resistance than tested. Results of this study confirmed and thoroughly characterized two novel psychrotrophic Flavobacterium species, for which the names Flavobacterium flabelliforme sp. nov. and Flavobacterium geliluteum sp. nov. are proposed.

Abstract
In the current study, alkaline hydrogen peroxide pretreated oil palm trunk fibers were subjected to ethanol production via simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). The effect of high substrate loading, enzyme and substrate feeding strategy, and influence of a pre-hydrolysis step in SSF was studied to scale up ethanol production. In the enzyme feeding strategy, the addition of an enzyme at the start of fed-batch SSF significantly (p < 0.05) increased ethanol concentration to 51.05 g/L, ethanol productivity (QP ) to 0.61 g/L·h, and ethanol yield (Y P/S) to 0.31 g/g, with a theoretical ethanol yield of 60.65%. Furthermore, the initial velocity of the enzyme (V 0) in the first 8 h was 2.27 (g/h) with a glucose concentration of 18.17 g/L. On the other hand, the substrate feeding strategy and pre-hydrolysis simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (PSSF) process were studied in a 1 L fermenter. PSSF in fed batch with 10 and 20% (w/v) significantly improved enzyme hydrolysis, circumvent the problems of high viscosity, reduced overall fermentation time, and gave the highest ethanol concentration of 51.66 g/L, ethanol productivity (QP ) of 0.72 g/L·h, ethanol yield (Y P/S) of 0.31 g/g, and theoretical ethanol yield of 60.66%. In addition, PSSF with 10 and 20% significantly increased the initial velocity of the enzyme (V 0) to 4.64 and 4.40 (g/h) and glucose concentration to 37.14 and 35.27 g/L, respectively. This result indicated that ethanol production by PSSF along with substrate feeding could enhance ethanol production efficiently.

Abstract
In the present study different enzymes (α- amylase, trypsin, cellulase, horse-radish peroxidase and pectinex ultra clear) were studied for bacterial biofilm inhibition and Pectinex ultra clear showed best inhibition. So, m-combi-CLEA of Pectinex ultra clear was developed by cross linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) formation on APTES (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane) modified iron oxide nanoparticles. Different parameters were optimized and it was observed that 0.4 mg/ml of protein (containing 25 U/mg cellulase activity), 0.5 mg/ml BSA and 10 mM glutaraldehyde when incubated for 3 h gives 100% enzyme activity using ethanol as the precipitant. The CLEA formed were thermally more stable as compared to free enzyme. m-combi-CLEA of Pectinex ultra clear shows 75-78% biofilm inhibition of E. coli and S. aureus. Furthermore, m-combi-CLEA can be reused till 4 cycles with same efficiency. The carbohydrate contents of E. coli biofilm decreased from 64.629 μg to 6.23 μg and for S. aureus biofilm, it decreased from 58.46 μg to 5.52 μg when treated with m-combi CLEA in comparison to untreated biofilms. FTIR, darkfield illumination Fluorescence Microscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy was further used for characterization.
