Effects of electrospun nanofiber fabrications on immobilization of recombinant Escherichia coli for production of xylitol from glucose. Enzyme Microb Technol 2024; 172:110350. [PMID: 37948908 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2023.110350] [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: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
A suitable nanofiber sheet was formulated and developed based on its efficacy in the immobilization of recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli) to enhance xylitol production. The effects of different types of nanofibers and solvents on cell immobilization and xylitol production were studied. The most applicable nanofiber membrane was selected via preliminary screening of four types of nanofiber membrane, followed by the selection of six different solvents. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber sheet synthesized using dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent was found to be the most suitable carrier for immobilization and xylitol production. The thin, beaded PVDF (DMF) nanofibers were more favourable for microbial adhesion, with the number of immobilized cells as high as 96 × 106 ± 3.0 cfu/ml. The attraction force between positively charged PVDF nanofibers and the negatively charged E. coli indicates that the electrostatic interaction plays a significant role in cell adsorption. The use of DMF has also produced PVDF nanofibers biocatalyst capable of synthesizing the highest xylitol concentration (2.168 g/l) and productivity (0.090 g/l/h) and 55-69% reduction in cell lysis compared with DMSO solvent and free cells. This finding suggests that recombinant E. coli immobilized on nanofibers shows great potential as a whole-cell biocatalyst for xylitol production.

Abstract
Stipulation of fresh water for domestic use without any microbial, organic and inorganic contaminants is of high need. Sustainable, efficient, cost-effective and robust water purification technologies is of high need and it can be achieved using nanomaterials and their composite. Nanostructured graphene has unique properties like high surface to volume ratio, higher absorbability, reusability with minimal chemical alterations, and low cytotoxicity. From the validation of these properties, we have developed PLLA-Ag@graphene sandwich structures as an effective adsorbate for water purification application. As the real water bodies have lot of bacterial contaminants, the material is also designed as efficient adsorbate with antibacterial efficacy. In view of achieving these objectives, we have synthesized PLLA fibre mats by electrospinning method, followed by PLLA-Graphene and Ag decorated PLLA-graphene mats. The crystallite size for graphite and Ag@graphene was calculated as 30.82 nm and 43.79 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the UV analysis of Ag@graphene shows two peaks corresponding to graphene and Ag NP at 285 nm and 407 nm respectively. The layers were assembled in the order of polymeric fibre, as-fired biomass graphite, Ag@graphene for methodical filtration process. The filtration efficacy of the filtrate was tested using sewage water and the results shows higher contamination removal percentage of 87 % with TDS values in the drinking water standards after filtration. The antibacterial efficacy results also evidence of the potentialities of the hybrid system towards water purification application.

Abstract
The release of pharmaceutical wastewaters in the environment is of great concern due to the presence of persistent organic pollutants with toxic effects on environment and human health. Treatment of these wastewaters with microorganisms has gained increasing attention, as they can efficiently biodegrade and remove contaminants from the aqueous environments. In this respect, bacterial immobilization with inorganic nanoparticles provides a number of advantages, in terms of ease of processing, increased concentration of the pollutant in proximity of the cell surface, and long-term reusability. In the present study, MCM-41 mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) were immobilized on a selected bacterial strain to remove alprazolam, a persistent pharmaceutical compound, from contaminated water. First, biodegrading microorganisms were collected from pharmaceutical wastewater, and Pseudomonas stutzeri was isolated as a bacterial strain showing high ability to tolerate and consume alprazolam as the only source for carbon and energy. Then, the ability of MSN-adhered Pseudomonas stutzeri bacteria was assessed to biodegrade alprazolam using quantitative HPLC analysis. The results indicated that after 20 days in optimum conditions, MSN-adhered bacterial cells achieved 96% biodegradation efficiency in comparison to the 87% biodegradation ability of Pseudomonas stutzeri freely suspended cells. Kinetic study showed that the degradation process obeys a first order reaction. In addition, the kinetic constants for the MSN-adhered bacteria were higher than those of the bacteria alone.

Abstract
Bioremediation of copper (Cu2+ ) with immobilized Micrococcus luteus in polymer matrices has been broadly studied for a wide range of applications including wastewater treatment. Herein, the bioremediation efficiency based on modified immobilization techniques and by the addition of Cu2+ is investigated. Porous composite nonwovens with living M. luteus (living polymer composites) are prepared by encapsulation of the bacterial cells in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) microparticles (M. luteus/PVA microparticles) produced by spray drying method. The M. luteus/PVA microparticles are chemically cross-linked. The hydrogel microparticles with encapsulated M. luteus are embedded in a nonwoven of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) electrospun short fibers provided by wet-laid method. Two different models of composite nonwovens are reported, in which the place position of the hydrogel PVA microparticles with encapsulated M. luteus and PLA nonwoven can affect the bioremediation process.

Abstract
In this study, the electrospinning technique is shown to be a viable method for the synthesis of a bacteria-encapsulating bioanode. A coaxial setup was designed to yield in one step a bioanode made of two fibers networks: one encapsulating the electroactive bacteria Shewanella oneidensis and the other one providing the necessary conductivity for electron transport throughout the bioelectrode. The electrical conductivity of this "integrated bioanode" (∼10-2 to 10-3 S cm-1) was deemed satisfactory and it was then included into a microbial fuel cells (MFC). The resulting MFC exhibited electricity generation. We further demonstrate that this electrode can be cryodesiccated and still exhibits an electrochemical activity once integrated into the MFC reactor. Its volume current and power densities were similar to those recorded for the fresh electrospun bioanode (up to 3260 A m-3 and 230 W m-3 for the thin cryodesiccated bioanode (∼410 μm)). Such impressive volume current densities for thin electrospun systems may be for instance envisioned to be applied to wearable or paper-based MFCs which require a certain flexibility.

Abstract
Electro-hydrodynamic processing, comprising electrospinning and electrospraying techniques, is a novel technology used in the production of nano- and sub-micro-scale materials with specific properties suitable for environmental remediation processes. Polycaprolactone (PCL) micro-fibrous mats and alginate microcapsules were produced using electrospinning and electrospraying techniques respectively, and Lysinibacillus sphaericus CBAM5, a bacterium capable of metal removal by adsorption and accumulation inside the cell, was immobilized in these matrices. The polymeric structure was able to protect and maintain cell viability and the bio-composite materials were used to capture gold from synthetic water samples. The micro-fibrous membranes with immobilized bacteria were able to remove 93% of the gold after 120 h of inclusion in the aqueous medium. Using a filtration system, an efficiency of 64% was obtained for the removal of the precious metal after 10 cycles of filtration (2 h of exposure to the gold solution). In contrast, the microencapsulated L. sphaericus CBAM5 captured 64% of the gold after 4 h of the assay. Thus, both micro-structured matrices were suitable for the immobilization and protection of L. sphaericus CBAM5 and they showed high efficiencies of gold biosorption. Hence, these bio-composite materials could be used to concentrate gold from industrial wastewaters.

Abstract
Polymeric electrospun fibers are becoming popular in microbial biotechnology because of their exceptional physicochemical characteristics, biodegradability, surface-to-volume ratio, and compatibility with biological systems, which give them a great potential as microbial supports to be used in production processes or environmental applications. In this work, we analyzed and compared the ability of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, Brevundimonas diminuta, and Sphingobium fuliginis to develop biofilms on different types of polycaprolactone (PCL) microfibers. These bacterial species are relevant in the production of biobased chemicals, enzymes, and proteins for therapeutic use and bioremediation. The obtained results demonstrated that all selected species were able to attach efficiently to the PCL microfibers. Also, the ability of pure cultures of S. fuliginis (former Flavobacterium sp. ATCC 27551, a very relevant strain in the bioremediation of organophosphorus compounds) to form dense biofilms was observed for the first time, opening the possibility of new applications for this microorganism. This material showed to have a high microbial loading capacity, regardless of the mesh density and fiber diameter. A comparative analysis between PCL and polylactic acid (PLA) electrospun microfibers indicated that both surfaces have a similar bacterial loading capacity, but the former material showed higher resistance to microbial degradation than PLA.

Abstract
In this study, high-efficient phenol-degrading bacterium Bacillus sp. SAS19 which was isolated from activated sludge by resuscitation-promoting factor (Rpf) addition, were immobilized on porous carbonaceous gels (CGs) for phenol degradation. The phenol-degrading capabilities of free and immobilized Bacillus sp. SAS19 were evaluated under various initial phenol concentrations. The obtained results showed that phenol could be removed effectively by both free and immobilized Bacillus sp. SAS19. Furthermore, for degradation of phenol at high concentrations, long-term utilization and recycling were more readily achieved for immobilized bacteria as compared to free bacteria. Immobilized bacteria exhibited significant increase in phenol-degrading capabilities in the third cycle of recycling and reuse, which demonstrated 87.2% and 100% of phenol (1600 mg/L) degradation efficiency at 12 and 24 h, respectively. The present study revealed that immobilized Bacillus sp. SAS19 can be potentially used for enhanced treatment of synthetic phenol-laden wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, preparation and application of novel biocomposite materials for textile dye removal which are produced by immobilization of specific bacteria onto electrospun nanofibrous webs are presented. A textile dye remediating bacterial isolate, Clavibacter michiganensis, was selected for bacterial immobilization, a commercial reactive textile dye, Setazol Blue BRF-X, was selected as the target contaminant, and electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) and polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibrous polymeric webs were selected for bacterial integration. Bacterial adhesion onto nanofibrous webs was monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and optical density (OD) measurements were performed for the detached bacteria. After achieving sufficient amounts of immobilized bacteria on electrospun nanofibrous webs, equivalent web samples were utilized for testing the dye removal capabilities. Both bacteria/PCL and bacteria/PLA webs have shown efficient remediation of Setazol Blue BRF-X dye within 48 h at each tested concentration (50, 100 and 200 mg/L), and their removal performances were very similar to the free-bacteria cells. The bacteria immobilized webs were then tested for five times of reuse at an initial dye concentration of 100 mg/L, and found as potentially reusable with higher bacterial immobilization and faster dye removal capacities at the end of the test. Overall, these findings suggest that electrospun nanofibrous webs are available platforms for bacterial integration and the bacteria immobilized webs can be used as starting inocula for use in remediation of textile dyes in wastewater systems.
