Green biocatalyst for decolorization of azo dyes from industrial wastewater: Coriolopsis trogii 2SMKN laccase immobilized on recycled brewer's spent grain. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:32072-32090.

Abstract
This study presents an innovative approach for the reuse and recycling of waste material, brewer's spent grain (BSG) for creating a novel green biocatalyst. The same BSG was utilized in several consecutive steps: initially, it served as a substrate for the cultivation and production of laccase by a novel isolated fungal strain, Coriolopsis trogii 2SMKN, then, it was reused as a carrier for laccase immobilization, aiding in the process of azo dye decolorization and finally, reused as recycled BSG for the second successful laccase immobilization for six guaiacol oxidation, contributing to a zero-waste strategy. The novel fungal strain produced laccase with a maximum activity of 171.4 U/g after 6 days of solid-state fermentation using BSG as a substrate. The obtained laccase exhibited excellent performance in the decolorization of azo dyes, both as a free and immobilized, at high temperatures, without addition of harmful mediators, achieving maximum decolorization efficiencies of 99.0%, 71.2%, and 61.0% for Orange G (OG), Congo Red, and Eriochrome Black T (EBT), respectively. The immobilized laccase on BSG was successfully reused across five cycles of azo dye decolorization process. Notably, new green biocatalyst outperformed commercial laccase from Aspergillus spp. in the decolorization of OG and EBT. GC-MS and LC-MS revealed azo-dye degradation products and decomposition pathway. This analysis was complemented by antimicrobial and phytotoxicity tests, which confirmed the non-toxic nature of the degradation products, indicating the potential for safe environmental disposal.

Abstract
The global advocacy of resource conservation and waste management emphasizes the significance of sustainable practices, particularly in sectors such as paper manufacturing and recycling. Currently, conventional chemical methods are predominant for paper production, necessitating the use of substantial amount of toxic chemicals. This chemical-intensive approach compromises the recycled fiber quality, generates hazardous effluent causing serious ecological threats which triggers regulatory complexities for the mills. To address these challenges modern research suggests adopting sustainable eco-friendly practices such as employing enzymes. This review aims to explore the applicability of 'laccase' enzyme for paper recycling, investigating its properties and contribution to improved recycling practices. By delving into the potential application of laccase integration into the papermaking process, this article sheds light on the limitations inherent in traditional methods surmounted within both research and translational landscapes. Culture and process optimization studies, supporting the technological improvements and the future prospects have been documented.

Abstract
Factors, namely pH, laccase-like activity, dyes concentration as well as 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) concentration was examined. The results indicated that the maximum decolorization yield and rate reached 98.30 ± 0.10% and 5.84 ± 0.01%/min, respectively for Sirius Blue, and 99.34 ± 0.47% and 5.85 ± 0.12%/min, respectively for Sirius Red after 4 h. The presence of the redox mediator 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) greatly improved the decolorization levels. The optimum concentrations of HBT, dyes, and laccase were 0.62 mM, 50 mg/L, and 0.89 U/mL respectively at pH 4.58 for both dyes. Phytotoxicity tests using treated and untreated dyes proved that the applied treatment slightly decreased the toxicity of the by-products. However, the germination index (GI) increased from 14.6 to 36.08% and from 31.6 to 36.96% for Sirius Red and Sirius Blue, respectively. The present study focused on the treatment of two recalcitrant azo dyes, namely: Sirius Blue (Direct Blue 71) and Sirius Red (Direct Red 80). The decolorization was performed using cell-free supernatant from Coriolopsis gallica culture with high laccase activity. Response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken design were applied to optimize the decolorization of the two tested dyes. The effect of four.

Enzymatic dual-faced Janus structures based on the hierarchical organic-inorganic hybrid matrix for an effective bioremoval and detoxification of reactive blue-19. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128493.

Abstract
A novel, dual-faced, and hierarchical type of Janus hybrid structures (JHSs) was assembled through an in situ growing of lipase@cobalt phosphate sheets on the laccase@copper phosphate sponge-like structures. The chemical and structural information of prepared JHSs was investigated by Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The catalytic activity, storage stability, and reusability of JHSs were then investigated. The SEM-EDX analysis clearly confirmed the asymmetric morphology of the fabricated JHSs with two distinct metal distributions. Under optimized synthesis conditions, the prepared JHSs showed 97.8 % and 100 % of laccase and lipase activity, respectively. Compared to the free biocatalysts, the immobilization resulted in ~ a 2-fold increase in laccase and lipase stability at temperatures of >40 °C. The fabricated JHSs maintained 61 % and 90 % of their original laccase and lipase activity upon 12 successive repetition cycles. Up to 80 % of Reactive Blue-19 (RB-19), an anthraquinone-based vinyl sulphone dye, was removed after 5 h treatment with the prepared JHSs (50 % higher than the free forms of laccase and lipase). The dye removal data fitted very well on the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a rate constant of 0.8 g mg-1 h-1. Following the bioremoval process, bacterial toxicity also decreased by about 70 %. Therefore, the prepared JHSs provide a facile and sustainable approach for the decolorization, biotransformation, and detoxification of RB-19 by integrating enzymatic oxidation and hydrolysis.

Abstract
Antibiotics are micropollutants accumulating in our rivers and wastewaters, potentially leading to bacterial antibiotic resistance, a worldwide problem to which there is no current solution. Here, we have developed an environmentally friendly two-step process to transform the antibiotic rifampicin (RIF) into non-antimicrobial compounds. The process involves an enzymatic oxidation step by the bacterial CotA-laccase and a hydrogen peroxide bleaching step. NMR identified rifampicin quinone as the main product of the enzymatic oxidation. Growth of Escherichia coli strains in the presence of final degradation products (FP) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurements confirmed that FP are non-anti-microbial compounds, and bioassays suggest that FP is not toxic to eukaryotic organisms. Moreover, competitive fitness assays between susceptible and RIF-resistant bacteria show that susceptible bacteria is strongly favoured in the presence of FP. Our results show that we have developed a robust and environmentally friendly process to effectively remediate rifampicin from antibiotic contaminated environments.

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
In this study, pomegranate peels (PPs) as an abundant fruit processing waste was used to produce cost-effective, eco-friendly, and high-quality activated carbon. The produced carbon (fossil free activated carbon) was used for immobilizing laccase to remove a range of emerging pollutants namely diclofenac, amoxicillin, carbamazepine, and ciprofloxacin from water and wastewater. The loaded activated carbon by laccase (LMPPs) and the unloaded one (MPPs) were characterized using advanced surface chemistry analysis techniques. MPPs was found to have a porous structure with a large surface area and an abundance of acidic functional groups. Laccase immobilization reduced surface area but added active degradation sites. The optimal immobilization parameters were determined as pH 4, 35 °C, and a laccase concentration of 2.5 mg/mL resulting in a 69.8% immobilization yield. The adsorption of the emerging pollutant onto MPPs is best characterized as a spontaneous endothermic process that adheres to the Langmuir isotherm and first-order kinetics. Using synergistic adsorption and enzymatic degradation, the target pollutants (50 mg/L) were eliminated in 2 h. In both water types, LMPPs outperformed MPPs. This study shows that pomegranate peels can effectively be harnessed as an enzyme carrier and adsorbent for the removal of emerging pollutants even from a complex sample matrix. The removal of contaminants from wastewater lasted five cycles, whereas it continued up to six cycles for water.

Abstract
Laccase from Aspergillus sp. (LC) was immobilized on functionalized silica hierarchical (microporous-macroporous) MFI zeolite (ZMFI). The obtained immobilized biocatalyst (LC#ZMFI) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, solid-state NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirming the chemical anchoring of the enzyme to the zeolitic support. The optimal pH, kinetic parameters (KM and Vmax), specific activity, as well as both storage and operational stability of LC#ZMFI were determined. The LC#ZMFI KM and Vmax values amount to 10.3 µM and 0.74 µmol·mg-1 min-1, respectively. The dependence of specific activity on the pH for free and immobilized LC was investigated in the pH range of 2-7, The highest specific activity was obtained at pH = 3 for both free LC and LC#ZMFI. LC#ZMFI retained up to 50 % and 30 % of its original activity after storage of 21 and 30 days, respectively. Immobilization of laccase on hierarchical silica MFI zeolite allows to carry out the reaction under acidic pH values without affecting the support structure.

Abstract
In recent years, enzymatic remediation/biocatalysis has gained prominence for the bioremediation of recalcitrant chemicals. Laccase is one of the commonly investigated enzymes for bioremediation applications. There is a growing interest in immobilizing this enzyme onto adsorbents for achieving high pollutant removal through simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation. Due to the influence of the biomolecule-support interface on laccase activity and stability, it is crucial to functionalize the solid carrier prior to immobilization. Date stone (PDS), as an eco-friendly, low-cost, and effective natural adsorbent, was utilized as a carrier for laccase (fungus Trametes versicolor). After activating PDS through chemical treatments, the surface area increased by thirty-six-fold, and carbonyl groups became more prominent. Batch experiments were carried out for ketoprofen and aspirin biodegradation in aqueous solutions. After six cycles, the laccase maintained 54% of its original activity confirmed by oxidation tests of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS). In addition, the storage, pH, and thermal stability of immobilized laccase on functionalized date stone (LFPDS) were found to be superior to that of free laccase, demonstrating its potential for ongoing applications. In the aqueous batch mode, this immobilized laccase system was used to degrade 25 mg L-1 of ketoprofen and aspirin, resulting in almost complete removal within 4 h of treatment. This study reveals that agricultural wastes such as date stone can successfully be valorized through simple activation techniques, and the final product can be used as an adsorbent and substrate for immobilization enzyme. The high efficiency of the LFPDS in removing ketoprofen and aspirin highlights the potential of this technology for removing pharmaceuticals and merits its continued development.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:4290. [PMID: 36500913 PMCID: PMC9738431 DOI: 10.3390/nano12234290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The g-C3N4/CF composite carrier was prepared by ultrasound-assisted maceration and high-temperature calcination. The enzyme immobilization using the g-C3N4/CF as the novel carrier to immobilize lactase and glucose isomerase was enhanced for lactulose production. The carbon fiber (CF) was mixed with melamine powder in the mass ratio of 1:8. The g-C3N4/CF composite carrier was obtained by calcination at 550 °C for 3 h. After the analysis of characteristics, the g-C3N4/CF was successfully composited with the carbon nitride and CF, displaying the improvement of co-immobilization efficiency with the positive effects on the stability of the enzyme. The immobilization efficiency of the co-immobilized enzyme was 37% by the novel carrier of g-C3N4/CF, with the enzyme activity of 13.89 U g-1 at 60 °C. The relative activities of co-immobilized enzymes maintained much more steadily at the wider pH and higher temperature than those of the free dual enzymes, respectively. In the multi-batches of lactulose production, the relative conversion rates in enzymes co-immobilized by the composite carrier were higher than that of the free enzymes during the first four batches, as well as maintaining about a 90% relative conversation rate after the sixth batch. This study provides a novel method for the application of g-C3N4/CF in the field of immobilizing enzymes for the production of lactulose.

Study of Membrane-Immobilized Oxidoreductases in Wastewater Treatment for Micropollutants Removal. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214086.

Abstract
The development of efficient strategies for wastewater treatment to remove micropollutants is of the highest importance. Hence, in this study, we presented a rapid approach to the production of biocatalytic membranes based on commercially available cellulose membrane and oxidoreductase enzymes including laccase, tyrosinase, and horseradish peroxidase. Effective enzyme deposition was confirmed based on Fourier transform infrared spectra, whereas results of spectrophotometric measurements showed that immobilization yield for all proposed systems exceeded 80% followed by over 80% activity recovery, with the highest values (over 90%) noticed for the membrane-laccase system. Further, storage stability and reusability of the immobilized enzyme were improved, reaching over 75% after, respectively, 20 days of storage, and 10 repeated biocatalytic cycles. The key stage of the study concerned the use of produced membranes for the removal of hematoporphyrin, (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), 17α-ethynylestradiol, tetracycline, tert-amyl alcohol (anesthetic drug), and ketoprofen methyl ester from real wastewater sampling at various places in the wastewater treatment plant. Although produced membranes showed mixed removal rates, all of the analyzed compounds were at least partially removed from the wastewater. Obtained data clearly showed, however, that composition of the wastewater matrix, type of pollutants as well as type of enzyme strongly affect the efficiency of enzymatic treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
Τhe ligninolytic enzyme laccase has proved its potential for environmental applications. However, there is no documented industrial application of free laccase due to low stability, poor reusability, and high costs. Immobilization has been considered as a powerful technique to enhance laccase's industrial potential. In this technology, appropriate support selection for laccase immobilization is a crucial step since the support could broadly affect the properties of the resulting catalyst system. Through the last decades, a large variety of inorganic, organic, and composite materials have been used in laccase immobilization. Among them, carbon-based materials have been explored as a support candidate for immobilization, due to their properties such as high porosity, high surface area, the existence of functional groups, and their highly aromatic structure. Carbon-based materials have also been used in culture media as supports, sources of nutrients, and inducers, for laccase production. This study aims to review the recent trends in laccase production, immobilization techniques, and essential support properties for enzyme immobilization. More specifically, this review analyzes and presents the significant benefits of carbon-based materials for their key role in laccase production and immobilization.
