IŞIK C. An Alternative Approach to Plastic Recycling: Fabrication and Characterization of rPET/CA Nanofiber Carriers to Enhance Porcine Pancreatic Lipase Stability Properties. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:31313-31327. [PMID: 39072091 PMCID: PMC11270705 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
In response to the increasing demand for sustainable technologies, this study presents a novel approach to plastic recycling. In this study, a method was presented to produce nanofiber carriers by electrospinning using recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) obtained from wastewater bottles and cellulose acetate (CA). These carriers serve as a platform for immobilized porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL), aiming to enhance its stability. The production parameters for the rPET/CA nanofibers were found to be an rPET concentration of 15% (v/v), a CA concentration of 6% (v/v), an electrical voltage of 13 kV, a needle-collector distance of 18 cm, and an injection speed of 0.1 mL/h. The nanofiber structure and morphology were assessed by using attenuated total reflectance-infrared Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Then, PPL was immobilized onto the nanofibers through adsorption and cross-linking methods. The optimum temperature for free PPL was determined to be 30 °C, and the optimum temperature for PPL immobilized on rPET/CA was determined to be 40 °C. It was observed that, especially under acidic conditions, after the immobilization process, PPL immobilized rPET/CA nanofibers became more resistant to pH changes than free PLL. Furthermore, the immobilized PPL exhibited improved pH stability, reusability, and thermal stability compared to its free counterpart. This innovative approach not only contributes to plastic waste reduction but also opens new avenues for enzyme immobilization with potential applications in biocatalysis and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Candida auris (C. auris) is a yeast that has caused several outbreaks in the last decade. Cell wall chitin plays a primary role in the antifungal resistance of C. auris. Herein, we investigated the potential of chitinase immobilized with UiO-66 to act as a potent antifungal agent against C. auris. Chitinase was produced from Talaromyces varians SSW3 in a yield of 8.97 U/g dry substrate (ds). The yield was statistically enhanced to 120.41 U/g ds by using Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken design. We synthesized a UiO-66 framework that was characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, a particle size analyzer, and a zeta sizer. The produced framework had a size of 70.42 ± 8.43 nm with a uniform cubic shape and smooth surface. The produced chitinase was immobilized on UiO-66 with an immobilization yield of 65% achieved after a 6 h loading period. The immobilization of UiO-66 increased the enzyme activity and stability, as indicated by the obtained Kd and T1/2 values. Furthermore, the hydrolytic activity of chitinase was enhanced after immobilization on UiO-66, with an increase in the Vmax and a decrease in the Km of 2- and 38-fold, respectively. Interestingly, the antifungal activity of the produced chitinase was boosted against C. auris by loading the enzyme on UiO-66, with an MIC50 of 0.89 ± 0.056 U/mL, compared to 5.582 ± 0.57 U/mL for the free enzyme. This study offers a novel promising alternative approach to combat the new emerging pathogen C. auris.

Immobilization of Cytochrome C by Benzoic Acid (BA)-Functional UiO-66-NO 2 and the Enzyme Activity Assay. Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2022; 194:5167-5184.

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are considered to be the moderate hosts for the bio-enzymes owing to their unique 3D pores and controllable surface affinity to the target molecules. In this work, the benzoic acid (BA)-modulated UiO-66-NO2 was introduced, and cytochrome c (Cyt C) was chosen as the target enzyme to evaluate the immobilization efficiency of the resulting UiO-66-NO2-BA. The immobilization conditions including pH, adsorption time, and temperature and the initial concentrations of BA were optimized. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics were analyzed to further explore the enhanced adsorption mechanism. It is worth noted that all the UiO-66-NO2-BA exhibited evidently enhanced adsorption capacities in comparison with the unmodified UiO-66-NO2 due to the formation of the chemical bonds between the UiO-66-NO2-BA and cytochrome C, indicating the positive roles of BA modification. Finally, the activities of the immobilized cytochrome C were assessed by using the catalytic oxidation of ABTS in the presence of H2O2, which reactions were also conducted over the free cytochrome C for comparison. The evidently improved stability under definite pH range, prolonged durability against the organic solvents, and the good reusability of the immobilized cytochrome C highlight the prospect applications of functional MOF immobilized enzymes in the practical catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization techniques have developed dramatically over the past several decades. Support materials are key in shaping the function of a specific immobilized enzyme. Although they have large specific surface areas and functional active sites, single-component nanomaterials and their surface chemical modification derivatives struggle to meet increasing demand. Thus, composite materials, compounds of two or more materials, have been developed and applied in efficient immobilization through advances in materials science. More methods have been developed and employed to design composite nanomaterials in recent years. These novel composite nanomaterials often show superior physical, chemical, and biological performance as supports in enzyme immobilization, among other applications. In this review, immobilization techniques and their supports are stated first and methods to design and fabricate composite nanomaterials as nanosupports are also shown in the following section. Applications of composite nanosupports in laccase immobilization are discussed as models in the later sections of the paper. This review is intended to help readers gain insight into the design principles of composite nanomaterials for immobilization supports.
