Rai SK, Singh A, Kauldhar BS, Yadav SK. Robust nano-enzyme conjugates for the sustainable synthesis of a rare sugar D-tagatose. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 231:123406. [PMID: 36702217 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Aim of present study was to develop biological catalysts of L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) by immobilizing on four different supports such as multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), graphene oxide (GOx), Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA-15) and mobile composite matter (MCM-41). Also, comparative analysis of the developed catalysts was performed to evolve the best in terms of transformation efficiency for D-tagatose production. The developed nano-enzyme conjugates (NECs) were characterized using the high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and elemental analysis was performed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The functional groups were investigated by Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy. Also, the thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to plot a thermal degradation weight loss profile of NECs. The conjugated L-AI with MWCNT and GOx were found to be more promising immobilized catalysts due to their ability to provide more surface area. Conversion of D-Galactose to D-Tagatose at moderate temperature and pH was observed to attain the equilibrium level of transformation (~50%). On the contrary, NECs prepared using SBA-15 and MCM-41 as support matrix were unable to reach the equilibrium level of conversion. Additionally, the developed NECs were suitable for reuse in multiple batch cycles. Thus, promising nanotechnology coupled with biocatalysis made the transformation of D-Galactose into D-tagatose more economically sustainable.

Abstract
β-galactosidase is an enzyme capable of hydrolysing lactose, used in various branches of industry, mainly the food industry. As the efficient industrial use of enzymes depends on their reuse, it is necessary to find an effective method for immobilisation, maintaining high activity and stability. The present work proposes cross-linked magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (mCLEAs) to prepare heterogeneous biocatalysts of β-galactosidase. Different concentrations of glutaraldehyde (0.6%, 1.0%, 1.5%), used as a cross-linking agent, were studied. The use of dextran-aldehyde as an alternative cross-linking agent was also evaluated. The mCLEAs presented increased recovered activity directly related to the concentration of glutaraldehyde. Modifications to the protocol to prepare mCLEAs with glutaraldehyde, adding a competitive inhibitor or polymer coating, have not been effective in increasing the recovered activity of the heterogeneous biocatalysts or its thermal stability. The biocatalyst prepared using dextran-aldehyde presented 73.6% recovered activity, aside from substrate affinity equivalent to the free enzyme. The thermal stability at 60 °C was higher for the biocatalyst prepared with glutaraldehyde (mCLEA-GLU-1.5) than the one produced with dextran-aldehyde (mCLEA-DEX), and the opposite happened at 50 °C. Results obtained for lactose hydrolysis, the use of its product to produce a rare sugar (D-tagatose) and operational and storage stability indicate that heterogeneous biocatalysts have adequate characteristics for industrial use.

Biocatalytic conversion of a lactose-rich dairy waste into D-tagatose, D-arabitol and galactitol using sequential whole cell and fermentation technologies. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 358:127422.

Abstract
Dairy industry waste has been explored as a cheap and attractive raw material to produce various commercially important rare sugars. In this study, a lactose-rich dairy byproduct, namely cheese whey powder (CWP), was microbially converted into three low caloric sweeteners using whole-cell and fermentation technologies. Firstly, the simultaneous lactose hydrolysis and isomerization of lactose-derived D-galactose into D-tagatose was performed by an engineered Escherichia coli strain co-expressing β-galactosidase and L-arabinose isomerase, which eventually produced 68.35 g/L D-tagatose during sequential feeding of CWP. Subsequently, the mixed syrup containing lactose-derived D-glucose and residual D-galactose was subjected to fermentation by Metschnikowia pulcherrima E1, which produced 60.12 g/L D-arabitol and 28.26 g/L galactitol. The net titer of the three rare sugars was 156.73 g/L from 300 g/L lactose (equivalent to 428.57 g/L CWP), which was equivalent to 1.12 mol product/mol lactose and 52.24% conversion efficiency in terms of lactose.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization has been developing since the 1960s and although many industrial biocatalytic processes use the technology to improve enzyme performance, still today we are far from full exploitation of the field. One clear reason is that many evaluate immobilization based on only a few experiments that are not always well-designed. In contrast to many other reviews on the subject, here we highlight the pitfalls of using incorrectly designed immobilization protocols and explain why in many cases sub-optimal results are obtained. We also describe solutions to overcome these challenges and come to the conclusion that recent developments in material science, bioprocess engineering and protein science continue to open new opportunities for the future. In this way, enzyme immobilization, far from being a mature discipline, remains as a subject of high interest and where intense research is still necessary to take full advantage of the possibilities.

Abstract
Enzymes are commonly used as biocatalysts for various biological and chemical processes. However, some major drawbacks of free enzymes (e.g. poor reusability and instability) significantly restrict their industrial practices. How to overcome these weaknesses remain considerable challenges. Enzyme immobilization is one of the most effective ways to improve the reusability and stability of enzymes. Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) has been known as a novel and versatile carrier-free immobilization method. CLEAs is attractive due to its simplicity and robustness, without purification. It generally shows: high catalytic specificity and selectivity, good operational and storage stabilities, and good reusability. Moreover, co-immobilization of different kinds of enzymes can be acquired. These CLEAs advantages provide opportunities for further industrial applications. Herein, the preparation parameters of CLEAs were first summarized. Next, characterization of structural and catalytic properties, stability and reusability are also proposed. Finally, some important applications of this technique in: environmental protection, industrial chemistry, food industry, and pharmaceutical synthesis and delivery are introduced. Potential challenges and future research directions, such as improving cross-linking efficiency and internal mass transfer efficiency, are also presented. This implies that CLEAs provide an efficient and feasible technique to improve the properties of enzymes for use in the industry.
