Carbohydr Polym 2024; 338:122168. [PMID: 38763718 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122168] [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: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Enzymatic functionalization of oligosaccharides is a useful and environmentally friendly way to expand their structural chemical space and access to a wider range of applications in the health, food, feed, cosmetics and other sectors. In this work, we first tested the laccase/TEMPO system to generate oxidized forms of cellobiose and methyl β-D-cellobiose, and obtained high yields of novel anionic disaccharides (>60 %) at pH 6.0. Laccase/TEMPO system was then applied to a mix of cellooligosaccharides and to pure D-cellopentaose. The occurrence of carbonyl and carboxyl groups in the oxidation products was shown by LC-HRMS, MALDI-TOF and reductive amination of the carbonyl groups was attempted with p-toluidine a low molar mass amine to form the Schiff base, then reduced by 2-picoline borane to generate a more stable amine bond. The new grafted products were characterized by LC-HRMS, LC-UV-MS/MS and covalent grafting was evidenced. Next, the same procedure was adopted to successfully graft a dye, the rhodamine 123, larger in size than toluidine. This two-step chemo-enzymatic approach, never reported before, for functionalization of oligosaccharides, offers attractive opportunities to anionic cellooligosaccharides and derived glucoconjugates of interest for biomedical or neutraceutical applications. It also paves the way for more environmentally-friendly cellulose fabric staining procedures.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 406:131072. [PMID: 38971387 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.131072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
Immobilized laccases are widely used as green biocatalysts for bioremediation of phenolic pollutants and wastewater treatment. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show potential application for immobilization of laccase. Their unique adsorption properties provide a synergic effect of adsorption and biodegradation. This review focuses on bioremediation of wastewater pollutants using laccase-MOF composites, and summarizes the current knowledge and future perspective of their biodegradation and the enhancement strategies of enzyme immobilization. Mechanistic strategies of preparation of laccase-MOF composites were mainly investigated via physical adsorption, chemical binding, and de novo/co-precipitation approaches. The influence of architecture of MOFs on the efficiency of immobilization and bioremediation were discussed. Moreover, as sustainable technology, the integration of laccases and MOFs into wastewater treatment processes represents a promising approach to address the challenges posed by industrial pollution. The MOF-laccase composites can be promising and reliable alternative to conventional techniques for the treatment of wastewaters containing pharmaceuticals, dyes, and phenolic compounds. The detailed exploration of various immobilization techniques and the influence of MOF architecture on performance provides valuable insights for optimizing these composites, paving the way for future advancements in environmental biotechnology. The findings of this research have the potential to influence industrial wastewater treatment and promoting cleaner treatment processes and contributing to sustainability efforts.

Abstract
A biocatalytic system comprising fungal laccase and mediators can generate phenol radicals and efficiently eliminate various triarylmethane dyes. This study systematically explores the kinetic impact of dissolved organic matter (DOM), represented by humic substance (HS consisting of 90% fulvic acid, from lignite), on the decolorization of seven typical triarylmethane dyes by Trametes versicolor laccase and twenty natural mediators. Among these, 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4-HA) and methyl violet (MV) undergo in-depth investigation regarding degradation products, pathways, and reaction mechanisms. In instances where HS hampers laccase-alone decolorization, such as malachite green, Coomassie brilliant blue, bromophenol blue, and acid magenta, this inhibition may persist despite mediator introduction. Conversely, in cases where HS facilitates decolorization, such as crystalline violet and ethyl violet, most laccase-mediator systems (LMSs) can still benefit. For MV decolorization by laccase and 4-HA, HS's kinetic effect is controlled by concentration and reaction time. A 5 mg/L HS increased the decolorization rate from 50% to 67% within the first hour, whereas 10 mg/L HS only achieved 45%. After 16 h of reaction, HS's impact on decolorization rate diminishes. Furthermore, the addition of HS enhances precipitation production, probably due to its involvement in polymerization with MV and mediator. Computational simulations and spectral monitoring reveal that low HS concentrations accelerate laccase-mediated demethylation by disrupting the chromophores bound to MV, thus promoting the decolorization of MV. Conversely, inhibition by high HS concentrations stems from the competitive binding of the enzyme pocket to the mediator, and the reduction of phenol free radicals in the system. Molecular docking and kinetic simulations revealed that laccase forms complexes with both the mediator and MV. Interestingly, the decolorization of MV occurred through a non-radical mechanism in the presence of HS. This work provided a reference for screening of high catalytic performance mediators to remove triarylmethane dyes in the actual water environment.

Abstract
Multiple copper oxidase (MCO) like laccase is widely distributed in higher plant, fungi and bacteria. This study identified MCO like laccase producing bacterium isolated from a wastewater treatment plant based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis, and they were further confirmed by phylogenetic reconstruction. Biochemical and gene characterization of MCO like laccase from Stenotrophomonas sp. YBX1 is presented. Purification of MCO like laccase was carried out by ion exchange HQ Trap column and followed by gel filtration spheracryl S-100 column. The purified MCO like laccase from Stenotrophomonas sp. YBX1 shows a total activity of 1252 units and specific activity 391.2 U/mg and protein concentration 0.32 mg/mL. In SDS PAGE, the approximate molecular mass was found at 66 kDa and further confirmed from an MS spectrum of MALDI-TOF. The purified MCO like laccase is capable of degradation of antibiotics such as tetracycline completely, whereas oxytetracycline (78%) and ampicillin (62%) degraded within 96 min without any redox mediators at pH 5 and 30 ºC. Its degradation pathway was based on identification of metabolites by LC-MS spectrum. The enzymatic degradation may be used in advanced treatment of antibiotics containing wastewater.

Abstract
The chronic lack of effective disposal of pollutants has resulted in the detection of a wide variety of EPs in the environment, with concentrations high enough to affect ecological health. Laccase, as a versatile oxidase capable of catalyzing a wide range of substrates and without producing toxic by-products, is a potential candidate for the biodegradation of pollutants. Immobilization can provide favorable protection for free laccase, improve the stability of laccase in complex environments, and greatly enhance the reusability of laccase, which is significant in reducing the cost of industrial applications. This study introduces the properties of laccase and subsequently elaborate on the different support materials for laccase immobilization. The research advances in the degradation of EDs, PPCPs, and PAHs by immobilized laccase are then reviewed. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of laccase immobilization, as well as the advantages of various support materials, facilitating the development of more economical and efficient immobilization systems that can be put into practice to achieve the green degradation of EPs.

Harnessing the power of bacterial laccases for xenobiotic degradation in water: A 10-year overview. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 918:170498.

Abstract
Industrialization and population growth are leading to the production of significant amounts of sewage containing hazardous xenobiotic compounds. These compounds pose a threat to human and animal health, as well as the overall ecosystem. To combat this issue, chemical, physical, and biological techniques have been used to remove these contaminants from water bodies affected by human activity. Biotechnological methods have proven effective in utilizing microorganisms and enzymes, particularly laccases, to address this problem. Laccases possess versatile enzymatic characteristics and have shown promise in degrading different xenobiotic compounds found in municipal, industrial, and medical wastewater. Both free enzymes and crude enzyme extracts have demonstrated success in the biotransformation of these compounds. Despite these advancements, the widespread use of laccases for bioremediation and wastewater treatment faces challenges due to the complex composition, high salt concentration, and extreme pH often present in contaminated media. These factors negatively impact protein stability, recovery, and recycling processes, hindering their large-scale application. These issues can be addressed by focusing on large-scale production, resolving operation problems, and utilizing cutting-edge genetic and protein engineering techniques. Additionally, finding novel sources of laccases, understanding their biochemical properties, enhancing their catalytic activity and thermostability, and improving their production processes are crucial steps towards overcoming these limitations. By doing so, enzyme-based biological degradation processes can be improved, resulting in more efficient removal of xenobiotics from water systems. This review summarizes the latest research on bacterial laccases over the past decade. It covers the advancements in identifying their structures, characterizing their biochemical properties, exploring their modes of action, and discovering their potential applications in the biotransformation and bioremediation of xenobiotic pollutants commonly present in water sources.

Abstract
Secreted laccases are important enzymes on a broad ecological scale for their role in mediating plant-microbe interactions, but within ascomycete fungi these enzymes have been primarily associated with melanin biosynthesis. In this study, a putatively secreted laccase, Sslac2, was characterized from the broad-host-range plant pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which is largely unpigmented and is not dependent on melanogenesis for plant infection. Gene knockouts of Sslac2 demonstrate wide ranging developmental phenotypes and are functionally non-pathogenic. These mutants also displayed indiscriminate growth behaviors and enhanced biomass formation, seemingly as a result of their inability to respond to canonical environmental growth cues, a phenomenon further confirmed through chemical stress, physiological, and transcriptomic analyses. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy demonstrate apparent differences in extracellular matrix structure between WT and mutant strains that likely explain the inability of the mutants to respond to their environment. Targeting Sslac2 using host-induced gene silencing significantly improved resistance to S. sclerotiorum, suggesting that fungal laccases could be a valuable target of disease control. Collectively, we identified a laccase critical to the development and virulence of the broad-host-range pathogen S. sclerotiorum and propose a potentially novel role for fungal laccases in modulating environmental sensing.

Abstract
Laccases are multicopper oxidases able to oxidize several phenolic compounds and find application in numerous industrial applications. Among laccase producers, white-rot fungi represent a valuable source of multiple isoforms and isoenzymes of these multicopper oxidases. Here we describe the identification, biochemical characterization, and application of laccase 2 from Trametes polyzona (TP-Lac2), a basidiomycete fungus emerged among others that have been screened by plate assay. This enzyme has an optimal temperature of 50 °C and in acidic conditions it is able to oxidize both phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. The ability of TP-Lac2 to decolorize textile dyes was tested in the presence of natural and synthetic mediators at 30 °C and 50 °C. Our results indicate that TP-Lac2 most efficiently decolorizes (decolorization rate > 75%) malachite green oxalate, orange G, amido black10B and bromocresol purple in the presence of acetosyringone and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate)-ABTS. Overall, the laccase mediator system consisting of TP-Lac2 and the natural mediator acetosyringone has potential as an environmentally friendly alternative for wastewater treatment in the textile industry.

Abstract
The interaction of Cu-tannic acid nanosheets (Cu-TA NShs) as nanozyme in a surfactant solution of CTAB under relatively acidic conditions is shown to exhibit a catalytic effect on quercetin (Qur). This catalytic property of Cu-TA NShs, which mimics laccase enzyme with many advantages, has been applied to developing a selective colorimetric sensor for the determination of trace amounts of Qur in vegetable samples. This strategy presents a desirable linear relationship between the absorbance signal intensity and the concentrations of Qur from 0.350 to 32.09 µM with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.064 µM (S/N = 3). The feasibility of the proposed portable colorimetric sensor for in situ analysis of the real samples has been validated with the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method as reference method, and two-tailed test (t test) statistical analysis certifies good agreement between the results. This enzyme-free and sensitive naked-eye sensor with the smartphone-based color map is promising to provide technical support for the rapid and visual detection of Qur in vegetables.

Chmelová D, Ondrejovič M, Miertuš S. Laccases as Effective Tools in the Removal of Pharmaceutical Products from Aquatic Systems. Life (Basel) 2024; 14:230. [PMID: 38398738 PMCID: PMC10890127 DOI: 10.3390/life14020230] [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: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the application of bacterial and fungal laccases for the removal of pharmaceuticals from the environment. Laccases were evaluated for their efficacy in degrading pharmaceutical substances across various categories, including analgesics, antibiotics, antiepileptics, antirheumatic drugs, cytostatics, hormones, anxiolytics, and sympatholytics. The capability of laccases to degrade or biotransform these drugs was found to be dependent on their structural characteristics. The formation of di-, oligo- and polymers of the parent compound has been observed using the laccase mediator system (LMS), which is advantageous in terms of their removal via commonly used processes in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Notably, certain pharmaceuticals such as tetracycline antibiotics or estrogen hormones exhibited degradation or even mineralization when subjected to laccase treatment. Employing enzyme pretreatment mitigated the toxic effects of degradation products compared to the parent drug. However, when utilizing the LMS, careful mediator selection is essential to prevent potential increases in environment toxicity. Laccases demonstrate efficiency in pharmaceutical removal within WWTPs, operating efficiently under WWTP conditions without necessitating isolation.

Abstract
Despite being one of the first enzymes discovered in 1883, the determination of laccase activity remains a scientific challenge, and a barrier to the full use of laccase as a biocatalyst. Indeed, laccase, an oxidase of the blue multi-copper oxidases family, has a wide range of substrates including substituted phenols, aromatic amines and lignin-related compounds. Its one-electron mechanism requires only oxygen and releases water as a reaction product. These characteristics make laccase a biocatalyst of interest in many fields of applications including pulp and paper industry, biorefineries, food, textile, and pharmaceutical industries. But to fully envisage the use of laccase at an industrial scale, its activity must be reliably quantifiable on complex substrates and in complex matrices. This review aims to describe current and emerging methods for laccase activity assays and place them in the context of a potential industrial use of the enzyme.

Abstract
Among pollution remediation technologies, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are genuinely efficient since they are based on the production of strong, non-selective oxidants, mainly hydroxyl radicals (·OH), by a set of physicochemical methods. The biological counterparts of AOPs, which may be referred to as advanced bio-oxidation processes (ABOPs), have begun to be investigated since the mechanisms of induction of ·OH production in fungi are known. To contribute to the development of ABOPs, advanced oxidation of a wide number of dyes by the white-rot fungus Pleurotus eryngii, via a quinone redox cycling (QRC) process based on Fenton's reagent formation, has been described for the first time. The fungus was incubated with 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DBQ) and Fe3+-oxalate, with and without Mn2+, leading to different ·OH production rates, around twice higher with Mn2+. Thanks to this process, the degradative capacity of the fungus increased, not only oxidising dyes it was not otherwise able to, but also increasing the decolorization rate of 20 dyes by more than 7 times in Mn2+ incubations. In terms of process efficacy, it is noteworthy that with Mn2+ the degradation of the dyes reached values of 90-100% in 2-4 h, which are like those described in some AOPs based on the Fenton reaction.

Abstract
The bioremediation of pharmaceutical compounds contained in wastewater, in an ecological and sustainable way, is possible via the oxidative action of fungal laccases. The discovery of new fungal laccases with unique physico-chemical characteristics pushes researchers to identify suitable laccases for specific applications. The aim of this study is to purify and characterize laccase isoenzymes produced from the Trametes hirsuta IBB450 strain for the bioremediation of pharmaceutical compounds. Two main laccases mixtures were observed and purified in the extracts and were called Yn and Yg. Peptide fingerprinting analysis suggested that Yn was constituted mainly of laccase Q02497 and Yg of laccase A0A6M5CX58, respectively. Robustness tests, based on tolerance and stability, showed that both laccases were affected in a relatively similar way by salts (KCl, NaCl), organic solvents (ACN, MeOH), denaturing compounds (urea, trypsin, copper) and were virtually unaffected and stable in wastewater. Determination of kinetic constants (Michaelis (KM), catalytic constant (kcat) and kinetic efficiency (K=kcat/KM)) for the transformation of synthetic hormone 17α-ethynylestradiol and the anti-inflammatory agent diclofenac indicates a lower KM and kcat for laccase Yn but relative similar K constant compared to Yg. Synergistic effects were observed for the transformation of diclofenac, unlike 17α-ethynylestradiol. Transformation studies of 17α-ethynylestradiol at different temperatures (4 and 21 °C) indicate a transformation rate reduction of approximately 75-80% at 4 °C against 25% for diclofenac in less than an hour. Finally, the classification of laccases Yg and Yn into one of eight groups (group A-H) suggests that laccase Yg belongs to group A (constitutive laccase) and laccase Yn belongs to group B (inducible laccase).

Abstract
Plastic pollution is one of the most environmental problems in the last two centuries, because of their excessive usage and their rapidly increasing production, which overcome the ability of natural degradation. Moreover, this problem become an escalating environmental issue caused by inadequate disposal, ineffective or nonexistent waste collection methods, and a lack of appropriate measures to deal with the problem, such as incineration and landfilling. Consequently, plastic wastes have become so ubiquitous and have accumulated in the environment impacting ecosystems and wildlife. The above, enhances the urgent need to explore alternative approaches that can effectively reduce waste without causing harsh environmental consequences. For example, white-rot fungi are a promising alternative to deal with the problem. These fungi produce ligninolytic enzymes able to break down the molecular structures of plastics, making them more bioavailable and allowing their degradation process, thereby mitigating waste accumulation. Over the years, several research studies have focused on the utilization of white-rot fungi to degrade plastics. This review presents a summary of plastic degradation biochemistry by white-rot fungi and the function of their ligninolytic enzymes. It also includes a collection of different research studies involving white-rot fungi to degrade plastic, their enzymes, the techniques used and the obtained results. Also, this highlights the significance of pre-treatments and the study of plastic blends with natural fibers or metallic ions, which have shown higher levels of degradation. Finally, it raises the limitations of the biotechnological processes and the prospects for future studies.

Abstract
Laccases are copper-containing enzymes belonging to the family of multicopper oxidases (MCOs). All MCOs use molecular oxygen to oxidize a wide range of organic compounds by radical catalysis. One of the key fundamental properties of laccases is having high or low redox potentials depending on the active site organization. Several experimental studies have been done to rationalize the high and low redox potential laccases (LRPL), however, molecular understanding is still lacking. In this work, we explored the proteomic profile of laccases produced in the fungal cultures, specifically induced with lignocellulosic biomass such as rice straw. This study was undertaken to explain the differences in the high redox and low redox potential values of different laccases using in-silico approaches. Proteomic profiling and structural and sequence analysis revealed a low level of similarity among them. Docking analyses and molecular dynamics simulation analysis revealed that high redox potential laccases (HRPL) are having good binding affinity compared to low or medium redox potential laccases (MRPL). The stability of these complexes was further analyzed based on reactive distances, active site volume comparison and a number of tunnel formations that were observed to be significantly higher for HRPL. Our results indicate that the number of tunnel formations calculated from the simulation's trajectories and available water molecules at the T3 site directly correlates with the laccases' redox potentials. This study will be helpful and provide valuable inputs for the designing of new laccases to improve lignin degradation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Laccases are industrially relevant enzymes. However, their range of applications is limited by their functioning and stability. Most of the currently known laccases function in acidic conditions at temperatures below 60 °C, but two-domain laccases (2D) oxidize some substrates in alkaline conditions and above 70 °C. In this study, we aim to establish the structural factors affecting the alkaline activity of the 2D laccase from Streptomyces griseoflavus (SgfSL). The range of methods used allowed us to show that the alkaline activity of SgfSL is influenced by the polar residues located close to the trinuclear center (TNC). Structural and functional studies of the SgfSL mutants Met199Ala/Asp268Asn and Met199Gly/Asp268Asn revealed that the substitution Asp268Asn (11 Å from the TNC) affects the orientation of the Asn261 (the second coordination sphere of the TNC), resulting in hydrogen-bond-network reorganization, which leads to a change in the SgfSL-activity pH profile. The combination of the Met199Gly/Arg240His and Asp268Asn substitutions increased the efficiency (kcat/KM) of the 2,6-DMP oxidation by 34-fold compared with the SgfSL. Our results extend the knowledge about the structure and functioning of 2D laccases' TNC active sites and open up new possibilities for the directed engineering of laccases.

Abstract
The conventional chemical polymerization of aniline has been described in multiple publications, while enzymatic polymerization has been poorly explored. A comparative study of the template-assisted enzymatic and chemical polymerization of aniline in a buffer solution of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate micelles was performed for the first time. The high-redox potential laccase from the fungus Trametes hirsuta was used as a catalyst and air oxygen served as an oxidant. Potentiometric and spectral methods have shown that oligomeric/polymeric products of the enzymatic polymerization of aniline are synthesized in the conducting emeraldine salt form immediately after the reaction is initiated by the enzyme. The use of the laccase-mediator system enabled a higher rate of enzymatic polymerization and a higher yield of final products. Potassium octocyanomolybdate (IV) served as a redox mediator. The products of the enzymatic polymerization of aniline were studied by the ATR-FTIR, MALDI-TOF and atomic force microscopy methods. The chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline under the same conditions resulted in forming a non-conducting dark brown product.

Abstract
Polyethylene (PE) and industrial dyes are recalcitrant pollutants calling for the development of sustainable solutions for their degradation. Laccases have been explored for removal of contaminants and pollutants, including dye decolorization and plastic degradation. Here, a novel thermophilic laccase from PE-degrading Lysinibaccillus fusiformis (LfLAC3) was identified through a computer-aided and activity-based screening. Biochemical studies of LfLAC3 indicated its high robustness and catalytic promiscuity. Dye decolorization experiments showed that LfLAC3 was able to degrade all the tested dyes with decolorization percentage from 39% to 70% without the use of a mediator. LfLAC3 was also demonstrated to degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films after eight weeks of incubation with either crude cell lysate or purified enzyme. The formation of a variety of functional groups was detected using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Damage on the surfaces of PE films was observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The potential catalytic mechanism of LfLAC3 was disclosed by structure and substrate-binding modes analysis. These findings demonstrated that LfLAC3 is a promiscuous enzyme that has promising potential for dye decolorization and PE degradation.

Abstract
The progress of versatile chemicals and bio-based fuels using renewable biomass has gained ample importance. Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural are biomass-derived compounds that serve as the cornerstone for high-value chemicals and have a myriad of industrial applications. Despite the significant research into several chemical processes for furanic platform chemicals conversion, the harsh reaction conditions and toxic by-products render their biological conversion an ideal alternative strategy. Although biological conversion confers an array of advantages, these processes have been reviewed less. This review explicates and evaluates notable improvements in the bioconversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural to comprehend the current developments in the biocatalytic transformation of furan. Enzymatic conversion of HMF and furfural to furanic derivative have been explored, while the latter has substantially overlooked a foretime. This discrepancy was reviewed along with the outlook on the potential usage of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural for the furan-based value-added products' synthesis.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination poses potential risks to ecosystems and human health. Laccase (LAC) has emerged as a promising biocatalyst for the oxidation of environmentally toxic contaminants with high catalytic efficiency; however, its large-scale application is hindered by enzyme costs and dependency on redox mediators. Herein, a novel self-amplifying catalytic system (SACS) for antibiotic remediation that does not require external mediators is developed. In SACS, a natural mediator-regenerating koji with high-activity LAC, derived from lignocellulosic waste, initiates the chlortetracycline (CTC) degradation. Subsequently, an intermediate product, CTC327, identified as an active mediator for LAC via molecular docking, is formed and then starts a renewable reaction cycle, including CTC327-LAC interaction, stimulated CTC bioconversion, and self-amplifying CTC327 release, thus enabling highly efficient antibiotic bioremediation. In addition, SACS exhibits excellent performance in producing lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, highlighting its potential for lignocellulosic biomass deconstruction. To demonstrate its effectiveness and accessibility in the natural environment, SACS is used to catalyze in situ soil bioremediation and straw degradation. The resulting CTC degradation rate is 93.43%, with a straw mass loss of up to 58.35% in a coupled process. This mediator regeneration and waste-to-resource conversion in SACS provides a promising route for environmental remediation and sustainable agricultural practices.

Hierarchically-structured laccase@Ni 3(PO 4) 2 hybrid nanoflowers for antibiotic degradation: Application in real wastewater effluent and toxicity evaluation. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 234:123574. [PMID: 36764346 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
Laccase@Ni3(PO4)2 hybrid nanoflowers (HNFs) were prepared by the anisotropic growth of biomineralized nickel phosphate. The immobilization yield was 77.5 ± 3.6 %, and the immobilized enzyme retained 50 % of its initial activity after 18 reusability cycles. The immobilized and free enzymes lost 80 % of their activity after 18 and 6 h incubation in municipal wastewater effluent (MWWE), respectively. The increase in α-helix content (8 %) following immobilization led to a more rigid enzyme structure, potentially contributing to its improved stability. The removal of ciprofloxacin from MWWE by laccase@Ni3(PO4)2·HNFs/p-coumaric acid oxidation system was optimized using a Box-Behnken design. Under the optimized conditions [initial laccase activity (0.05 U mL-1), the concentration of p-coumaric acid (2.9 mM), and treatment time (4.9 h)], the biocatalyst removed 90 % of ciprofloxacin (10 mg L-1) from MWWE. The toxicity of ciprofloxacin against some G+ and G- bacteria was reduced by 35-70 %, depending on their strain. The EC50 of ciprofloxacin for the alga Raphidocelis subcapitata reduced from 3.08 to 1.07 mg L-1 (p-value <0.05) after the bioremoval. Also, the acute and chronic toxicity of identified biodegradation products was lower than ciprofloxacin at three trophic levels, as predicted by ECOSAR software.

Abstract
Ozonation is a powerful technique to remove micropollutants from wastewater. As chemical oxidation of wastewater comes with the formation of varying, possibly persistent and toxic by-products, post-treatment of the ozonated effluent is routinely suggested. This study explored an enzymatic treatment of ozonation products using the laccase from Trametes versicolor. A high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) analysis revealed that the major by-products were effectively degraded by the enzymatic post-treatment. The enzymatic removal of the by-products reduced the ecotoxicity of the ozonation effluent, as monitored by the inhibition of Aliivibrio fischeri. The ecotoxicity was more effectively reduced by enzymatic post-oxidation at pH 7 than at the activity maximum of the laccase at pH 5. A mechanistic HPLC-HRMS and UV/Vis spectroscopic analysis revealed that acidic conditions favored rapid conversion of the phenolic by-products to dead-end products in the absence of nucleophiles. In contrast, the polymerization to harmless insoluble polymers was favored at neutral conditions. Hence, coupling ozonation with laccase-catalyzed post-oxidation at neutral conditions, which are present in wastewater effluents, is suggested as a new resource-efficient method to remove persistent micropollutants while excluding the emission of potentially harmful by-products.

Abstract
A reliance on fossil fuel has led to the increased emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The excessive consumption of raw materials today makes the search for sustainable resources more pressing than ever. Technical lignins are mainly used in low-value applications such as heat and electricity generation. Green enzyme-based modifications of technical lignin have generated a number of functional lignin-based polymers, fillers, coatings, and many other applications and materials. These bio-modified technical lignins often display similar properties in terms of their durability and elasticity as fossil-based materials while also being biodegradable. Therefore, it is possible to replace a wide range of environmentally damaging materials with lignin-based ones. By researching publications from the last 20 years focusing on the latest findings utilizing databases, a comprehensive collection on this topic was crafted. This review summarizes the recent progress made in enzymatically modifying technical lignins utilizing laccases, peroxidases, and lipases. The underlying enzymatic reaction mechanisms and processes are being elucidated and the application possibilities discussed. In addition, the environmental assessment of novel technical lignin-based products as well as the developments, opportunities, and challenges are highlighted.

Abstract
Utilization of microbial laccases is considered as the cleaner and target specific biocatalytic mechanism for the recovery of cellulose and hemicelluloses from nonfood and wasted agricultural, lignocellulosic biomass (LCB). The extent of lignin removal by laccase depends on the biochemical composition of biomass and the redox potential (E0) of the biocatalyst. Intensive research efforts are going on all over the world for the recognition of appropriate and easily available agricultural lignocellulosic feedstocks to exploit maximally for the production of value-added bioproducts and biofuels. In such circumstances, laccase can play a major role as a leading biocatalyst and potent substitute for chemical based deconstruction of the lignocellulosic materials. The limited commercialization of laccase at an industrial scale has been feasible due to its full working efficiency mostly expressed in the presence of cost intensive redox mediators only. Although, recently there are some reports that came on the mediator free biocatalysis of enzyme but still not considerably explored and neither understood in depth. The present review will address the various research gaps and shortcomings that acted as the big hurdles before the complete exploitation of laccases at an industrial scale. Further, this article also reveals insights on different microbial laccases and their diverse functional environmental conditions that affect the deconstruction process of LCB.

Abstract
Nanozymes are defined as nanomaterials exhibiting enzyme-like properties, and they possess both catalytic functions and nanomaterial's unique physicochemical characteristics. Due to the excellent stability and improved catalytic activity in comparison to natural enzymes, nanozymes have established a wide base for applications in environmental pollutants monitoring and remediation. Nanozymes have been applied in the detection of heavy metal ions, molecules, and organic compounds, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Additionally, within the natural environment, nanozymes can be employed for the degradation of organic and persistent pollutants such as antibiotics, phenols, and textile dyes. Further, the potential sphere of applications for nanozymes traverses from indoor air purification to anti-biofouling agents, and even they show promise in combatting pathogenic bacteria. However, nanozymes may have inherent toxicity, which can restrict their widespread utility. Thus, it is important to evaluate and monitor the interaction and transformation of nanozymes towards biosphere damage when employed within the natural environment in a cradle-to-grave manner, to assure their utmost safety. In this context, various studies have concluded that the green synthesis of nanozymes can efficiently overcome the toxicity limitations in real life applications, and nanozymes can be well utilized in the sensing and degradation of several toxic pollutants including metal ions, pesticides, and chemical warfare agents. In this seminal review, we have explored the great potential of nanozymes, whilst addressing a range of concerns, which have often been overlooked and currently restrict widespread applications and commercialization of nanozymes.

Abstract
Thermophilic fungi are known to develop different metabolic and catabolic activities that enable them to function at elevated temperatures. Screening heat-resistant fungi, as promising resources for enzymatic activities, are still recommended. A total of eleven wood-decay thermophilic fungal strains were isolated from decaying organic materials (DOM) collected from arid areas of Khulais (Saudi Arabia). Six of these isolates are laccase-producing thermophilic strains growing at 50 °C. Among Laccase positive (Lac+) isolates, Chaetomium brasiliense (G3), Canariomyces notabilis (KW1), and Paecilomyces formosus (KW3) were exploited to treat single selected endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that belonged to different classes (synthetic steroid hormone: 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE2), and alkylphenols:4-tert-butylphenol (4-t-BP)). Chaetomium sp. was selected due to its potentialities against target EDCs, and then, their laccases were extracted and exploited for the biocatalytic degradation of treated municipal sewage wastewaters (TMWW) mixed with 4-t-BP and EE2. The results show that within 2 h of catalyzing at 50 °C, laccase could degrade 60 ± 4.8% of 4-t-BP; however, it oxidized EE2 less efficiently, reaching 35 ± 4.1%. The influence of some redox mediators on the laccase oxidation system was investigated. The 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) and syringaldehyde led to the highest transformation rates of EE2 (approximately 80 ± 2.4%). Near-total removal (90 ± 7.2%) of 4-t-BP was achieved with TEMPO in 2 h. With the metabolites identified through gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS), metabolic pathways of degradation were suggested. The results highlight the potential of Chaetomium sp. strains in the conversion of micropollutants.

Abstract
Xylanase, a hydrolytic enzyme, is susceptible to inactivation by the oxidative conditions generated by the laccase mediator system (LMS). Given the impetus to develop a mixed enzyme system for application in biomass processing industries, xylanase was encapsulated with either Cu2+- or Ca2+-alginate and then exposed to the LMS with variations such as mediator type, mediator concentration, and treatment pH. Results demonstrate that alginate-encapsulated xylanase retains substantial activity (> 80%) when exposed to the LMS relative to non-encapsulated xylanase. Cu2+-alginate generally provided better protection than Ca2+-alginate for all mediators, and protection was observed even at a low pH, where the LMS is most potent. Despite encapsulation, xylanase was still capable of hydrolyzing its polymeric substrate xylan, given kcat/Km values within an order of magnitude of that for non-encapsulated xylanase. The alginate matrix does not impede the function of the oxidized mediator, since comparable Vmax values were observed for the conversion of veratryl alcohol to veratraldehyde by free and Cu2+-alginate encapsulated laccase. Overall, these results support development of a mixed enzyme system for biomass delignification and, more broadly, show potential for protecting protein function in an oxidative environment.

Abstract
Production of value-added compounds from waste materials is of utmost importance for the development of a sustainable society especially regarding their use as catalysts in industrially relevant synthetic reactions. Herein, we show the production of laccases from four white-rot fungi, which were grown on agricultural residues, specifically Trametes versicolor 11269, Pleurotus ostreatus 1020, Panus tigrinus 707 and Lentinula edodes SC-495. The produced laccases were tested on a laccase-mediator system (LMS) for the biocatalytic oxidation of the model substrate benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde. The LMS was carried out in the presence both of tetrahydrofuran as co-solvent and of the mediator 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl (TEMPO) due to its high redox potential and its ability to perform the oxidation. Tolerance studies showed that the dialyzed solutions were able to tolerate 1% (99:1 v/v) of co-solvent, whereas a concentration of 10% v/v had a detrimental activity. Performances in the biocatalytic oxidation of laccase solutions from different purification steps were compared. Similar conversion was observed for laccase in dialysis (raw) and gel filtration (GF) product versus commercial T. versicolor laccase. The latter oxidized almost 99% of substrate while the other laccase solutions were able to reach a conversion from 91% for the laccase solution from P. tigrinus 707 after dialysis, to 50% for the laccase solution from P. ostreatus 1020 after gel filtration. This work highlights the potential of unpurified laccase solutions to be used as catalysts in synthetic reactions.

Abstract
Laccases are oxidases that only require O2 as a terminal oxidant. Thus, they provide an attractive green alternative to established alcohol oxidation protocols. However, laccases typically require catalytic amounts of mediator molecules to serve as electron shuttles between the enzyme and desired substrate. Consequently, laccase-mediator systems are defined by a multitude of parameters such as, e. g., the choice of laccase and mediator, the respective concentrations, pH, and the oxygen source. This complexity and a perceived lack of comparable data throughout literature represent an entry burden into this field. To provide a solid starting point, particularly for organic chemists, we herein provide a time-resolved, quantitative laccase and mediator screening based on the oxidation of anis alcohol as model reaction. We measured the redox potentials of mediators under the reaction conditions to relate them to their performance. Lastly, for particularly efficient laccase-mediator pairs, we screened important reaction parameters, resulting in an optimized setup for mediator-assisted laccase catalyzed oxidations.

Abstract
The worldwide increase in metropolitan cities and rise in industrialization have resulted in the assimilation of hazardous pollutants into the ecosystems. Different physical, chemical and biological techniques have been employed to remove these toxins from water bodies. Several bioprocess applications using microbes and their enzymes are utilized to achieve the goal. Biocatalysts, such as laccases, are employed explicitly to deplete a variety of organic pollutants. However, the degradation of contaminants using biocatalysts has many disadvantages concerning the stability and activity of the enzyme. Hence, they are immobilized on different supports to improve the enzyme kinetics and recyclability. Furthermore, standard wastewater treatment methods are not effective in eliminating all the contaminants. As a result, membrane separation technologies have emerged to overcome the limitations of traditional wastewater treatment methods. Moreover, enzymes immobilized onto these membranes have generated new avenues in wastewater purification technology. This review provides the latest information on laccases from diverse sources, their molecular framework and their mode of action. This report also gives information about various immobilization techniques and the application of membrane bioreactors to eliminate and biotransform hazardous contaminants. In a nutshell, laccases appear to be the most promising biocatalysts for green and cost-efficient wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
Studies that promote chemical oxidation by permanganate (MnO4-; Mn(VII)) as a viable technology for water treatment and environmental purification have been quickly accumulating over the past decades. Various methods to activate Mn(VII) have been proposed and their efficacy in destructing a wide range of emerging organic contaminants has been demonstrated. This article aims to present a state-of-art review on the development of Mn(VII) activation methods, including photoactivation, electrical activation, the addition of redox mediators, carbonaceous materials, and other chemical agents, with a particular focus on the potential activation mechanism and critical influencing factors. Different reaction mechanisms are involved in activated Mn(VII) oxidation processes, including the generation of reactive intermediates derived from Mn(VII) (e.g., Mn(III), Mn(V), and Mn(VI)) or activators (e.g., intermediates of redox mediators and Ru catalysts), reactive oxygen species (ROS) (e.g., •OH, O2•-, and 1O2), as well as electron transfer from organics to Mn(VII) via catalysts as the electron mediator. Except •OH that is generated as one of co-oxidants in UV/Mn(VII) process, other reactive species are relatively mild oxidants, which are more selective toward organic substrates and highly tolerant toward various water matrices (e.g., inorganic ions and natural organic matter) compared to strongly oxidizing radical species. Therefore, activated Mn(VII) oxidation processes show a good prospect for efficient removal of target contaminants in natural and complex environmental matrices. However, there are some disputes about the dominant reactive species generated in these processes, and their identification methods may be not appropriate, causing serious confusion in the mechanistic understanding. So, further efforts are still needed to fill the knowledge gap and also to address the application challenges of these technologies.

Abstract
Laccases are attractive biocatalysts for industry due to their broad substrate spectrum, the use of oxygen as final electron acceptor, and water as the sole byproduct. Increasing efforts have been devoted to the engineering of laccases to improve their properties. The droplet-based microfluidic screening (DMFS) technology can accelerate the screening procedure and probe the large sequence space. In this study, a DMFS system including a heating step and picoinjection was used to sort large laccase libraries, yielding 12 variants with enhanced thermotolerance. All the obtained amino acid substitutions are distributed on the surface of the laccase. Interestingly, recombination of three identified substitutions of Asp to Asn on the surface resulted in the best variant M20, exhibiting 24.0-fold higher remaining activity at 58.8 °C and 1.9-3.4-fold higher remaining activity after incubation in organic solvents solution (20% (v/v) methanol and ethanol) and ionic liquid solution (20% (v/v) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate) for 12 h. Furthermore, molecular dynamic simulations revealed that the recombination of the three beneficial substitutions, Asp98Asn, Asp474Asn, and Asp340Asn on the surface introduced more hydrogen bonds compared to the wild type, which made M20 more thermostable. This study highlighted the importance of the DMFS system for an efficient identification of beneficial long-distance amino acid substitutions.

Abstract
Enzyme-mediator systems generate radical intermediates that abstract hydrogen atoms under mild conditions. These systems have been employed extensively for alcohol oxidation, primarily in biomass degradation, but they are underexplored for direct activation of C(sp3)-H bonds in alkyl groups. Here, we combine horseradish peroxidase (HRP), H2O2, and redox mediator N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) for C(sp3)-H functionalization of alkylbenzene-type substrates. The HRP-NHPI system is >10-fold more active than existing enzyme-mediator systems in converting alkylbenzenes to ketones and aldehydes under air, and it operates from 0-50 °C and in numerous aqueous-organic solvent mixtures. The benzylic substrate radical can be trapped through a reaction with NHPI, demonstrating the formation of benzylic products beyond ketones. Furthermore, we demonstrate a one-pot, two-step enzymatic cascade for converting alkylbenzenes to benzylic amines. Overall, the HRP-NHPI system enables the selective benzylic C-H functionalization of diverse substrates under mild conditions using a straightforward procedure.

The Genus Iodidimonas: From Its Discovery to Potential Applications. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10081661.

Abstract
The genus Iodidimonas was recently proposed in the class Alphaproteobacteria. Iodidimonas strains are aerobic, mesophilic, neutrophilic, moderately halophilic, and chemo-organotrophic. They were first discovered in natural gas brine water containing a very high level of iodide (I−). They exhibited a unique phenotypic feature of iodide oxidation to form molecular iodine (I2). Iodidimonas was also enriched and isolated from surface seawater supplemented with iodide, and it is clearer now that their common habitats are those enriched with iodide. In such environments, Iodidimonas species seem to attack microbial competitors with the toxic form I2 to occupy their ecological niche. The iodide-oxidizing enzyme (IOX) purified from the Iodidimonas sp. strain Q-1 exhibited high catalytic efficiency for iodide and consisted of at least two proteins IoxA and IoxC. IoxA is a putative multicopper oxidase with four conserved copper-binding regions but is phylogenetically distinct from other bacterial multicopper oxidases. The IOX/iodide system could be used as a novel enzyme-based antimicrobial system which can efficiently kill Bacillus spores. Furthermore, the IOX/iodide system can be applied to the decolorization of recalcitrant dyes, where iodide may function as a novel inorganic natural redox mediator.

Abstract
Mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol introduce a health risk to the food supply and are costly to manage or avoid. Technologies for reducing or eliminating the toxicity of deoxynivalenol could be useful in a variety of processes, such as in preserving the value as animal feed of byproducts of ethanol production. We characterized transformation products of deoxynivalenol that were formed by the combination of a fungal laccase paired with the chemical mediator 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO), using chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Alcohol groups at the C3 and C15 positions of deoxynivalenol were oxidized to ketones, and the chemical mediator became covalently linked to the C4 position. Conditions experienced during gas chromatography led to the dissociation of TEMPO, forming 3,15-diketodeoxynivalenol. Understanding the range of possible modifications to deoxynivalenol and other trichothecenes is a necessary step toward effective remediation of contaminated grain.

Abstract
Laccases catalyze a variety of electron-rich substrates by reducing O2 to H2O, with O2 playing a vital role as the final electron acceptor in the reaction process. In the present study, a laccase gene, lach5, was identified from Bacillus atrophaeus through sequence-based screening. LacH5 was engineered for modification by fusion expression and promoter replacement. Results showed that the purified enzyme LacH5 exhibited strong oxidative activity towards 2,2’-azinobis(3-ehtylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfnic acid) ammonium salt (ABTS) under optimum pH and temperature conditions (pH 5.0, 60 °C) and displayed remarkable thermostability. The activity of the two fusion enzymes was enhanced significantly from 14.2 U/mg (LacH5) to 22.5 U/mg (LacH5-vgb) and 18.6 U/mg (Vgb-lacH5) toward ABTS after LacH5 fusing with Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb). Three of six tested polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were significantly oxidized by two fusion laccases as compared with LacH5. More importantly, the expression level of LacH5 and fusion protein LacH5-vgb was augmented by 3.7-fold and 7.0-fold, respectively, by using a novel strong promoter replacement. The results from the current investigation provide new insights and strategies for improving the activity and expression level of bacterial laccases, and these strategies can be extended to other laccases and multicopper oxidases.

Abstract
In this study, indigo-dyed denim fabric was decolorized via separate and simultaneous applying of laccase, sodium hydrosulfite, and cellulase. In this regard, the surface reflectance and color coordinates of the discolored fabrics were evaluated and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the cellulase treated fabric were prepared to analyze their surfaces. Finally, the characterization of the treated samples was investigated, including moisture content, crease recovery angle, air permeability, and abrasion resistance. The color experiments showed that simultaneous applying of laccase, sodium hydrosulfite, and cellulose had a 55.79% improvement in the samples' lightness (L*). Furthermore, the color coordinate test of specimens revealed that the hue of the treated samples was changed to blue and green, and the purity of color (C*) was modified. The increment in the moisture content and air permeability of the treated specimens indicated that the comfort of the jeans clothing had been enhanced. As a result, sodium hydrosulfite demonstrates a high-efficiency denim discoloration in the laccase-mediated system.

Abstract
This pilot investigation aimed to evaluate the removal efficiency and the underlying biocatalytic pathways of immobilized fungal laccase during the oxidative biotransformation of a non-phenolic metabolite, 3,5-dichloroaniline (3,5-DCA) derived from dicarboximide fungicides. The maximum loading of laccase on the microporous support surfaces could reach 36.4 mg/g. The immobilized laccase on the microporous support surfaces exhibited excellent thermal stability, pH adaptability, storage stability, and reusability compared to free laccase. The ILMS assay indicated that the immobilized laccase efficiently removed studied 3,5-DCA (99-100%) in the aqueous medium, within 72 h in the presence of catechol. In this study, we identified three coupling reaction products during the removal of 3,5-DCA through an ILMS assay. Based on the identified coupling reaction products, we proposed the reaction pathway for the biotransformation of 3,5-DCA by immobilized laccase, which was shown to be potentially useful in the sustainable environmental remediation of aniline metabolite (i.e., 3,5-DCA) derived from dicarboximide fungicides.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and in river and lake recipients show the need to develop new antibiotic removal strategies. The aminoglycoside antibiotic class is of special concern since the chemical structure of these compounds limits the choices of removal technologies. The experimental design included fungal mediated in vivo and in vitro experiments. The experiments were performed in Erlenmeyer flasks under non-sterile conditions. In the study, the role of the laccase redox mediator 4-hydroxy benzoic acid (HBA) in the removal of neomycin was investigated. The specific objective of the study was to conclude whether it is possible to use the white rot fungus (WRF) Trametes versicolor to biodegrade neomycin. It was shown that it is feasible to remove 34% neomycin in vitro (excluding living fungal cells) by laccase-HBA mediated extracellular biodegradation. In the in vivo experiments, polyurethane foam (PUF) was used as supporting material to immobilize fungal mycelia on. The presence of living fungal cells facilitated a removal of approximately 80% neomycin in the absence of HBA. Using liquid chromatography-high resolution-mass spectrometry, it was possible to tentatively identify oxidation products of neomycin hydrolysates. The results in this study open up the possibility to implement a pretreatment plant (PTP) aimed for neomycin removal.

Recent Advancements in Enhancing Antimicrobial Activity of Plant-Derived Polyphenols by Biochemical Means. HORTICULTURAE 2022.

Abstract
Plants are a reservoir of phytochemicals, which are known to possess several beneficial health properties. Along with all the secondary metabolites, polyphenols have emerged as potential replacements for synthetic additives due to their lower toxicity and fewer side effects. However, controlling microbial growth using these preservatives requires very high doses of plant-derived compounds, which limits their use to only specific conditions. Their use at high concentrations leads to unavoidable changes in the organoleptic properties of foods. Therefore, the biochemical modification of natural preservatives can be a promising alternative to enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of plant-derived compounds/polyphenols. Amongst these modifications, low concentration of ascorbic acid (AA)–Cu (II), degradation products of ascorbic acid (DPAA), Maillard reaction products (MRPs), laccase–mediator (Lac–Med) and horse radish peroxidase (HRP)–H2O2 systems standout. This review reveals the importance of plant polyphenols, their role as antimicrobial agents, the mechanism of the biochemical methods and the ways these methods may be used in enhancing the antimicrobial potency of the plant polyphenols. Ultimately, this study may act as a base for the development of potent antimicrobial agents that may find their use in food applications.

J Environ Sci (China) 2022; 115:114-125. [PMID: 34969442 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2021.07.013] [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: 04/14/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The effect of oil sludge and zinc, present in soil both separately and as a mixture on the physiological and biochemical parameters of Miscanthus × giganteus plant was examined in a pot experiment. The opposite effect of pollutants on the accumulation of plant biomass was established: in comparison with uncontaminated control the oil sludge increased, and Zn reduced the root and shoot biomass. Oil sludge had an inhibitory effect on the plant photosynthetic apparatus, which intensified in the presence of Zn. The specific antioxidant response of M. × giganteus to the presence of both pollutants was a marked increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase (mostly owing to oil sludge) and glutathione-S-transferase (mostly owing to zinc) in the shoots. The participation of glutathione-S-transferase in the detoxification of both the organic and the inorganic pollutants was assumed. Zn inhibited the activity of laccase-like oxidase, whereas oil sludge promoted laccase and ascorbate oxidase activities. This finding suggests that these enzymes play a part in the oxidative detoxification of the organic pollutаnt. With both pollutants used jointly, Zn accumulation in the roots increased 6-fold, leading to increase in the efficiency of soil clean-up from the metal. In turn, Zn did not significantly affect the soil clean-up from oil sludge. This study shows for the first time the effect of co-contamination of soil with oil sludge and Zn on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of the bioenergetic plant M. × giganteus. The data obtained are important for understanding the mechanisms of phytoremediation with this plant.

Abstract
Laccase gene from Bacillus licheniformis NS2324 was cloned and expressed in E. coli by using pUC 18 as cloning vector and pet 15b as expression vector. The purified recombinant laccase (rLacNS2324) showed a molecular mass of 66 KDa. The optimum pH and temperature for rLacNS2324 was found to be pH 8 and 40 °C respectively. The half life of rLacNS2324 at pH 7, 8 and 9 is 24 h. The half life of laccase at 45 °C is 8 h. Laccase activity was increased in the presence of Cu2+ (135.3%), Mn2+ (283.76%), and Co2+ (199.96%) at 5 mM of concentration, but inhibited to 17.01% in the presence of 5 mM Zn2+ ions. rLacNS2324 was found tolerant to NaCl and NaI. Among the inhibitors, it was found to be tolerant to EDTA, however, its activity was inhibited in the presence of sodium azide, dithiothreitol and β-mercapethanol. rLacNS2324 was able to decolorize a bromophenol blue by 85% and phenol red by 75% in 1 h without any mediator. Methylene blue was almost completely degraded (99.28% decolorization) by 10 IUml-1 of laccase at 40 °C, pH 8.0 and in time 4 h. Overall rLacNS2324 showed ability to be used industrially to decolorize dyes in an eco-friendly and cost effective way.

Abstract
We investigated the use of POXA1b laccase from Pleurotus ostreatus for the oxidation of anthracene into anthraquinone. We show that different pathways can occur depending on the nature of the redox mediator combined to laccase, leading to different structural isomers. The laccase combined with 2,2'-azine-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) leads to the formation of 1,4-anthraquinone and/or 1,2-anthraquinone. The unprecedented role of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as redox mediators for oxidation of anthracene into 9,10-anthraquinone is shown and corroborated by density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Owing to the efficient adsorption of anthraquinones at CNT electrodes, anthracene can be detected with low limit-of-detection using either laccase in solution, CNT-supported laccase or laccase immobilized at magnetic beads exploiting the adhesive property of a chimeric hydrophobin-laccase.

Abstract
Trametes hirsuta is able to secrete laccase isoenzymes including constitutive and inducible forms, and has potential application for bioremediation of environmental pollutants. Here, an inducible group B laccase from T. hirsuta MX2 was heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris, and its yield reached 2.59 U/mL after 5 days of methanol inducing culture. The optimal pH and temperature of recombinant laccase (rLac1) to 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) were 2.5 and 60 °C, respectively. Metal ions showed different effect on rLac1 which Mg2+, Cu2+, and K+ increased enzyme activity as their concentration increased, whereas Zn2+, Na+, and Fe2+ inhibited enzyme activity as their concentration increased. rLac1 showed good tolerance to organic solvents, and more than 42% of its initial activity remained in 10% organic solvents. Additionally, rLac1 exhibited a more efficient decolorization ability for remazol brilliant blue R (RBBR) than for acid red 1 (AR1), crystal violet (CV), and neutral red (NR). Molecular docking results showed RBBR has a stronger binding affinity with laccase than other dyes by interacting with substrate binding cavity of enzyme. The results indicated rLac1 may be a potential candidate for dye removal from textile wastewater.

Fluoxetine Removal from Aqueous Solutions Using a Lignocellulosic Substrate Colonized by the White-Rot Fungus Pleurotus ostreatus. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19052672. [PMID: 35270364 PMCID: PMC8910386 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19052672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
One of the main challenges in both the design of new wastewater treatment plants and the expansion and improvement of existing ones is the removal of emerging pollutants. Therefore, the search for economic and sustainable treatments is needed to enhance the removal of pharmaceuticals. The potential of a lignocellulosic substrate colonized by Pleurotus ostreatus, a waste from mushroom production, to remove fluoxetine from aqueous solutions was studied. Batch assays were performed to remove 600 µg∙L−1 fluoxetine from aqueous solutions using the colonized mushroom substrate (CMS) and crude enzyme extracts. The removal efficiencies achieved were, respectively, ≥83.1% and 19.6% in 10 min. Batch assays with sterilized CMS and 1-aminobenzotriazole (to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes) showed that the higher removal efficiencies achieved in the CMS assays may be attributed to the synergistic contribution of biosorption onto the CMS and lignin modifying enzymes activity, namely laccase activity. A column assay was performed with the CMS, fed with 750 µg∙L−1 fluoxetine aqueous solution. The removal efficiency was 100% during 30 min, decreasing to a final value of 70% after 8 h of operation. The results suggested that CMS can be a promising eco-friendly alternative to remove fluoxetine from aqueous solutions.
