Abstract
The sophisticated, elegant protein-polymers designed by nature can serve as inspiration to redesign and biomanufacture protein-based materials using synthetic biology. Historically, petro-based polymeric materials have dominated industrial activities, consequently transforming our way of living. While this benefits humans, the fabrication and disposal of these materials causes environmental sustainability challenges. Fortunately, protein-based biopolymers can compete with and potentially surpass the performance of petro-based polymers because they can be biologically produced and degraded in an environmentally friendly fashion. This paper reviews four groups of protein-based polymers, including fibrous proteins (collagen, silk fibroin, fibrillin, and keratin), elastomeric proteins (elastin, resilin, and wheat glutenin), adhesive/matrix proteins (spongin and conchiolin), and cyanophycin. We discuss the connection between protein sequence, structure, function, and biomimetic applications. Protein engineering techniques, such as directed evolution and rational design, can be used to improve the functionality of natural protein-based materials. For example, the inclusion of specific protein domains, particularly those observed in structural proteins, such as silk and collagen, enables the creation of novel biomimetic materials with exceptional mechanical properties and adaptability. This review also discusses recent advancements in the production and application of new protein-based materials through the approach of synthetic biology combined biomimetics, providing insight for future research and development of cutting-edge bio-inspired products. Protein-based polymers that utilize nature's designs as a base, then modified by advancements at the intersection of biology and engineering, may provide mankind with more sustainable products.

Falahi S, Kubiak A, Voronkina A, Ehrlich H, Joseph Y, Rahimi P. Simultaneous Electrochemical Detection of Dopamine and Tryptophan Using 3D Goethite-Spongin Composites. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:357. [PMID: 38921236 PMCID: PMC11202307 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics9060357] [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: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, a facile approach for simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA) and tryptophan (TRP) using a 3D goethite-spongin-modified carbon paste electrode is reported. The prepared electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical catalytic activity towards DA and TRP oxidation. The electrochemical sensing of the modified electrode was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Through differential pulse voltammetry analysis, two well-separated oxidation peaks were observed at 28 and 77 mV, corresponding to the oxidation of DA and TRP at the working electrode, with a large peak separation of up to 490 mV. DA and TRP were determined both individually and simultaneously in their dualistic mixture. As a result, the anodic peak currents and the concentrations of DA and TRP were found to exhibit linearity within the ranges of 4-246 μM for DA and 2 to 150 μM for TRP. The detection limits (S/N = 3) as low as 1.9 μM and 0.37 μM were achieved for DA and TRP, respectively. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of DA and TRP in human urine samples with satisfactory recoveries (101% to 116%).

Abstract
Marine sponges of the subclass Keratosa originated on our planet about 900 million years ago and represent evolutionarily ancient and hierarchically structured biological materials. One of them, proteinaceous spongin, is responsible for the formation of 3D structured fibrous skeletons and remains enigmatic with complex chemistry. The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction of spongin with iron ions in a marine environment due to biocorrosion, leading to the occurrence of lepidocrocite. For this purpose, a biomimetic approach for the development of a new lepidocrocite-containing 3D spongin scaffold under laboratory conditions at 24 °C using artificial seawater and iron is described for the first time. This method helps to obtain a new composite as "Iron-Spongin", which was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. Furthermore, sophisticated techniques such as X-ray fluorescence, microscope technique, and X-Ray diffraction were used to determine the structure. This research proposed a corresponding mechanism of lepidocrocite formation, which may be connected with the spongin amino acids functional groups. Moreover, the potential application of the biocomposite as an electrochemical dopamine sensor is proposed. The conducted research not only shows the mechanism or sensor properties of "Iron-spongin" but also opens the door to other applications of these multifunctional materials.

Abstract
Aquatic habitats cover almost 70% of the Earth, containing several species contributing to marine biodiversity. Marine and aquatic organisms are rich in chemical compounds that can be widely used in biomedicine (dentistry, pharmacy, cosmetology, etc.) as alternative raw biomaterials or in food supplements. Their structural characteristics make them promising candidates for tissue engineering approaches in regenerative medicine. Thus, seaweeds, marine sponges, arthropods, cnidaria, mollusks, and the biomaterials provided by them, such as alginate, vitamins, laminarin, collagen, chitin, chitosan, gelatin, hydroxyapatite, biosilica, etc., are going to be discussed focusing on the biomedical applications of these marine-originated biomaterials. The ultimate goal is to highlight the sustainability of the use of these biomaterials instead of conventional ones, mainly due to the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and anticancer effect.

Abstract
This study reports the synthesis of a nanocomposite consisting of spongin and its applicability in the development of an aptasensing platform with high performance. The spongin was carefully extracted from a marine sponge and decorated with copper tungsten oxide hydroxide. The resulting spongin-copper tungsten oxide hydroxide was functionalized by silver nanoparticles and utilized in electrochemical aptasensor fabrication. The nanocomposite covered on a glassy carbon electrode surface amplified the electron transfer and increased active electrochemical sites. The aptasensor was fabricated by loading of thiolated aptamer on the embedded surface via thiol-AgNPs linkage. The applicability of the aptasensor was tested in detecting the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium as one of the five most common causes of nosocomial infectious diseases. The aptasensor measured S. aureus under a linear concentration range of 10-108 colony-forming units per milliliter and a limit of quantification and detection of 12 and 1 colony-forming unit per milliliter, respectively. The highly selective diagnosis of S. aureus in the presence of some common bacterial strains was satisfactorily evaluated. The acceptable results of the human serum analysis as the real sample may be promising in the bacteria tracking in clinical samples underlying the green chemistry principle.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) is one of the most important polyphenols, being widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to its biological effects such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective properties. Hence, simple, fast, and sensitive determination of GA is of particular importance. Considering the fact that GA is an electroactive compound, electrochemical sensors offer great potential for GA quantitation due to their fast response time, high sensitivity, and ease of use. A simple, fast, and sensitive GA sensor was fabricated on the basis of a high-performance bio-nanocomposite using spongin as a natural 3D polymer, atacamite, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The developed sensor showed an excellent response toward GA oxidation with remarkable electrochemical features due to the synergistic effects of 3D porous spongin and MWCNTs, which provide a large surface area and enhance the electrocatalytic activity of atacamite. At optimal conditions by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), a good linear relationship was obtained between peak currents and GA concentrations in a wild linear range of 500 nM to 1 mM. Subsequently, the proposed sensor was used to detect GA in red wine as well as in green and black tea, confirming its great potential as a reliable alternative to conventional methods for GA determination.

Abstract
Lignin-based spherical particles have recently gained popularity due to their characteristic and the usage of biopolymeric material. In this study, lignin-based spherical particles were prepared using choline chloride at different pH values, ranging from 2 to 10. Their dispersive, microstructural, and physicochemical properties were studied by a variety of techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and zeta potential analysis. The best results were obtained for the particles prepared at pH 5 and 7, which had a spherical shape without a tendency to form aggregates and agglomerates. The lignin-based spherical particles were used for the immobilization of lipase, a model enzyme capable of catalyzing a wide range of transformations. It was shown that the highest relative activity of immobilized lipase was obtained after 24 h of immobilization at 30 °C and pH 7, using 100 mg of the support. Moreover, the immobilized lipase exhibited enhanced stability under harsh process conditions, and demonstrated high reusability, up to 87% after 10 cycles, depending on the support used. In the future, the described approach to enzyme immobilization based on lignin spheres may play a significant role in the catalytic synthesis of organic and fine chemicals, with high utility value.

Abstract
In this study, lipase from Aspergillus niger immobilized by physical immobilization by the adsorption interactions and partially interfacial activation and mixed physical immobilization via interfacial activation and ion exchange was used in the kinetic resolution of the ketoprofen racemic mixture. The FTIR spectra of samples after immobilization of enzyme-characteristic signals can be seen, and an increase in particle size diameters upon immobilization is observed, indicating efficient immobilization. The immobilization yield was on the level of 93% and 86% for immobilization unmodified and modified support, respectively, whereas activity recovery reached around 90% for both systems. The highest activity of immobilized biocatalysts was observed at pH 7 and temperature 40 °C and pH 8 and 20 °C for lipase immobilized by physical immobilization by the adsorption interactions and partially interfacial activation and mixed physical immobilization via interfacial activation and ion exchange, respectively. It was also shown that over a wide range of pH (from 7 to 10) and temperature (from 20 to 60 °C) both immobilized lipases retained over 80% of their relative activity, indicating improvement of enzyme stability. The best solvent during kinetic resolution of enantiomers was found to be phosphate buffer at pH 7, which obtained the highest efficiency of racemic ketoprofen methyl ester resolution at the level of over 51%, followed by enantiomeric excess 99.85% in the presence of biocatalyst obtained by physical immobilization by the adsorption interactions and partially interfacial activation.

Abstract
The design of sensitive and cost-effective biocomposite materials with high catalytic activity for the effective electrooxidation of glucose plays a key role in developing enzyme-free glucose sensors. The porous three-dimensional (3D) spongin scaffold of marine sponge origin provides an excellent template for the growth of atacamite crystals and improves the activity of atacamite as a catalyst. By using the design of experiment method, the influence of different parameters on the electrode efficiency was optimized. The optimized sensor based on spongin-atacamite showed distinguished performance toward glucose with two linear ranges of 0.4-200 μM and 0.2-10 mM and high sensitivities of 3908.4 and 600.5 μA mM-1 cm-2, respectively. Importantly, the designed sensor exhibited strong selectivity and favorable stability, reproducibility, and repeatability. The performance in the real application was estimated by glucose detection in spiked human blood serum samples, which verified its great potential as a reliable platform for enzyme-free glucose sensing.

Abstract
The renewable, proteinaceous, marine biopolymer spongin is yet the focus of modern research. The preparation of a magnetic three-dimensional (3D) spongin scaffold with nano-sized Fe3O4 cores is reported here for the first time. The formation of this magnetic spongin-Fe3O4 composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) (TGA-DTA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and zeta potential analyses. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) confirmed the formation of well-dispersed spherical nanoparticles tightly bound to the spongin scaffold. The magnetic spongin-Fe3O4 composite showed significant removal efficiency for two cationic dyes (i.e., crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB)). Adsorption experiments revealed that the prepared material is a fast, high-capacity (77 mg/g), yet selective adsorbent for MB. This behavior was attributed to the creation of strong electrostatic interactions between the spongin-Fe3O4 and MB or CV, which was reflected by adsorption mechanism evaluations. The adsorption of MB and CV was found to be a function of pH, with maximum removal performance being observed over a wide pH range (pH = 5.5-11). In this work, we combined Fe3O4 nanoparticles and spongin scaffold properties into one unique composite, named magnetic spongin scaffold, in our attempt to create a sustainable absorbent for organic wastewater treatment. The appropriative mechanism of adsorption of the cationic dyes on a magnetic 3D spongin scaffold is proposed. Removal of organic dyes and other contaminants is essential to ensure healthy water and prevent various diseases. On the other hand, in many cases, dyes are used as models to demonstrate the adsorption properties of nanostructures. Due to the good absorption properties of magnetic spongin, it can be proposed as a green and uncomplicated adsorbent for the removal of different organic contaminants and, furthermore, as a carrier in drug delivery applications.

Pristine and Poly(Dimethylsiloxane) Modified Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes as Supports for Lipase Immobilization. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14112874. [PMID: 34072043 PMCID: PMC8198216 DOI: 10.3390/ma14112874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 05/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
The presented study deals with the fabrication of highly stable and active nanobiocatalysts based on Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) immobilization onto pristine and poly(dimethylsiloxane) modified MWCNTs. The MWCNTs/PDMS nanocomposites, containing 40 wt.% of the polymer with two molecular weights, were successfully synthesized via adsorption modification. The effect of PDMS chains length on the textural/structural properties of produced materials was studied by means of the nitrogen adsorption–desorption technique, Raman spectroscopy, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. P-MWCNTs and MWCNTs/PDMS nanocomposites were tested as supports for lipase immobilization. Successful deposition of the enzyme onto the surface of P-MWCNTs and MWCNTs/PDMS nanocomposite materials was confirmed mainly using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The immobilization efficiency, stability, and catalytic activity of the immobilized enzyme were studied, and the reusability of the produced biocatalytic systems was examined. The presented results demonstrate that the produced novel biocatalysts might be considered as promising materials for biocatalytic applications.

Abstract
In this study, SBA-15 was modified by halogen & haloalkanes and later used to immobilize lipases. The hydrolysis activity and the glycerolysis performance of the immobilized lipases was carefully studied. Highest activity of the immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), Lipase from Aspergillus oryzae (AOL), Lecitase® Ultra (LU) and lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) was respectively at 5577, 12000, 2822 and 11,577 U/g; in addition, the highest activity was obtained from the lowest or moderate lipase loading, at 25.73, 90.72, 89.52 and 30.56 mg/g respectively. The mechanism of lipase immobilization was studied and it was through interfacial activation. The halogen & haloalkanes modification of SBA-15 afforded considerable glycerolysis activity for diacylglycerols (DAG) preparation. CALB@SBA-15-CH2CH2(CF2)5CF3 and CALB@SBA-15-CH2CH2(CF2)7CF3 were suitable for DAG production, they both exhibited good reusability in glycerolysis reaction, with 117.36% and 93.06% of their initial glycerolysis activity retained respectively after ten cycles of reuse. The relationships between temperature with triacylglycerols (TAG) conversion were lnV0 = 3.13-3.07/T and lnV0 = 7.90-4.64/T respectively for CALB@SBA-15-CH2CH2(CF2)5CF3 and CALB@SBA-15-CH2CH2(CF2)7CF3; in addition, their activation energy (Ea) was respectively at 25.50 and 38.54 kJ/mol.

Abstract
The growing demand for new, sophisticated, multifunctional materials has brought natural structural composites into focus, since they underwent a substantial optimization during long evolutionary selection pressure and adaptation processes. Marine biological materials are the most important sources of both inspiration for biomimetics and of raw materials for practical applications in technology and biomedicine. The use of marine natural products as multifunctional biomaterials is currently undergoing a renaissance in the modern materials science. The diversity of marine biomaterials, their forms and fields of application are highlighted in this review. We will discuss the challenges, solutions, and future directions of modern marine biomaterialogy using a thorough analysis of scientific sources over the past ten years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Collagen from marine esponges has been used as a promising material for tissue engineering proposals. Similarly, photobiomodulation (PBM) is able of modulating inflammatory processes after an injury, accelerating soft and hard tissue healing and stimulating neoangiogenesis. However, the effects of the associated treatments on bone tissue healing have not been studied yet. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the biological temporal modifications (using two experimental periods) of marine sponge collagen or sponging (SPG) based scaffold and PBM on newly formed bone using a calvaria bone defect model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Wistar rats were distributed into two groups: SPG or SPG/PBM and euthanized into two different experimental periods (15 and 45 days post-surgery). A cranial critical bone defect was used to evaluate the effects of the treatments. Histology, histomorfometry and immunohistological analysis were performed. RESULTS Histological findings demonstrated that SPG/PBM-treated animals, 45 days post-surgery, demonstrated a higher amount of connective and newly formed bone tissue at the region of the defect compared to CG. Notwithstanding, no difference among groups were observed in the histomorphometry. Interestingly, for both anti-transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunostaining, higher values for SPG/PBM, at 45 days post-surgery could be observed. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that the associated treatment can be considered as a promising therapeutical intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, SBA-15 was functionalized by silane coupling reagents, then lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TLL) was immobilized onto the parent and the organically modified SBA-15 for diacylglycerol (DAG) production through glycerolysis. RESULTS Diacylglycerol content of 54.77 ± 0.63%, and triacylglycerol (TAG) conversion of 77.75 ± 1.24%, were obtained from the parent SBA-15 supported TLL-mediated glycerolysis reaction in a solvent-free system. However, poor performance was unexpectedly observed when co-solvents were introduced into the reaction system. After organic modification, the functionalized SBA-15 supported TLL samples all exhibited reasonable performance, producing DAG content over 40 wt% and TAG conversion over 70 wt%. Higher DAG content, up to 59.19 ± 1.10%, was observed from the phenyl group-modified SBA-15 supported TLL. The operational stability of the immobilized TLL samples in glycerolysis was also improved after organic functionalization. The phenyl group-modified SBA-15 supported TLL showed good reusability in the present glycerolysis reaction, and 95.21 ± 4.87% of the initial glycerolysis activity remained after five cycles of reuse. CONCLUSION The organic modification of SBA-15 improved the catalytic performance of its supported TLL in glycerolysis, in terms of TAG conversion, DAG content, and reusability. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The development of efficient and stable non-noble-metal electrocatalytic materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a huge and important challenge at present. Herein, we report the prominent enhancement of OER activity via doping vanadium into CoFe-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrocatalysts. Electrochemical characterization shows that the Co2Fe0.5V0.5 LDH grown on carbon papers (CPs) has an enormous electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and exhibits the smallest overpotential of 242 mV at 10 mA cm-2, which only requires a small Tafel slope of 41.4 mV dec-1 in 1 M KOH solution. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) peak position of Co, Fe and O moves slightly to higher binding energy, elucidating the improved covalency of the metal-oxygen bond after V doping. DFT+U simulation indicates that the outstanding electrocatalytic activity of Co2Fe0.5V0.5 could be ascribed to the increased metal-oxygen covalency in LDH after V element doping, and facilitates the charge-transfer from oxygen to the metal. This finely tuned strategy by V doping into the CoFe-based LDH matrix can adjust the covalency of metal-oxygen bridges and enhance its electrocatalytic activity for the OER. In this work, we also present a general method to study various highly efficient metal hydroxide catalysts for the OER.

Abstract
The synthesis of ethyl butyrate catalyzed by lipases A (CALA) or B (CALB) from Candida antarctica immobilized onto magnetic nanoparticles (MNP), CALA-MNP and CALB-MNP, respectively, is hereby reported. MNPs were prepared by co-precipitation, functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, activated with glutaraldehyde, and then used as support to immobilize either CALA or CALB (immobilization yield: 100 ± 1.2% and 57.6 ± 3.8%; biocatalysts activities: 198.3 ± 2.7 Up-NPB/g and 52.9 ± 1.7 Up-NPB/g for CALA-MNP and CALB-MNP, respectively). X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analysis indicated the production of a magnetic nanomaterial with a diameter of 13.0 nm, whereas Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicated functionalization, activation and enzyme immobilization. To determine the optimum conditions for the synthesis, a four-variable Central Composite Design (CCD) (biocatalyst content, molar ratio, temperature and time) was performed. Under optimized conditions (1:1, 45 °C and 6 h), it was possible to achieve 99.2 ± 0.3% of conversion for CALA-MNP (10 mg) and 97.5 ± 0.8% for CALB-MNP (12.5 mg), which retained approximately 80% of their activity after 10 consecutive cycles of esterification. Under ultrasonic irradiation, similar conversions were achieved but at 4 h of incubation, demonstrating the efficiency of ultrasound technology in the enzymatic synthesis of esters.

Abstract
Marine sponges remain representative of a unique source of renewable biological materials. The demosponges of the family Ianthellidae possess chitin-based skeletons with high biomimetic potential. These three-dimensional (3D) constructs can potentially be used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we focus our attention, for the first time, on the marine sponge Ianthella labyrinthus Bergquist & Kelly-Borges, 1995 (Demospongiae: Verongida: Ianthellidae) as a novel potential source of naturally prestructured bandage-like 3D scaffolds which can be isolated simultaneously with biologically active bromotyrosines. Specifically, translucent and elastic flat chitinous scaffolds have been obtained after bromotyrosine extraction and chemical treatments of the sponge skeleton with alternate alkaline and acidic solutions. For the first time, cardiomyocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-CMs) have been used to test the suitability of I. labyrinthus chitinous skeleton as ready-to-use scaffold for their cell culture. Results reveal a comparable attachment and growth on isolated chitin-skeleton, compared to scaffolds coated with extracellular matrix mimetic Geltrex®. Thus, the natural, unmodified I. labyrinthus cleaned sponge skeleton can be used to culture iPSC-CMs and 3D tissue engineering. In addition, I. labyrinthus chitin-based scaffolds demonstrate strong and efficient capability to absorb blood deep into the microtubes due to their excellent capillary effect. These findings are suggestive of the future development of new sponge chitin-based absorbable hemostats as alternatives to already well recognized cellulose-based fabrics.

Abstract
The combination of different biomaterials can be a promising intervention for the composites manufacture, mainly by adding functional and structural characteristics of each material and guarantee the advantages of the use of these composites. In this context, the aim of this study was to develop and evaluated the influence of the incorporation of marine spongin (SPG) into Biosilicate® (BS) in different proportions be used during bone repair. For this purpose, it was to develop and investigate different BS/SPG formulations for physico-chemical and morphological characteristics by pH, loss mass, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. Additionally, the influence of these composites on cell viability, proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were investigated. The results revealed that the pH values of all BS groups (with or without SPG) increased over time. A significant mass loss was observed in all composites, mainly with higher SPG percentages. Additionaly, SEM micrographies demonstrated fibers of SPG into BS and material degradation over time. Moreover, FTIR spectral analysis revealed characteristic peaks of PMMA, BS, and SPG in BS/SPG composites. BS/SPG groups demonstrated a positive effect for fibroblast proliferation after 3 and 7 days of culture. Additionally, BS and BS/SPG formulations (at 10% and 20% of SPG) presented similar values of osteoblasts viability and proliferation after 7 days of culture. Furthermore, ALP activity demonstrated no significant difference between BS and BS/SPG scaffolds, at any composition. Based on the present in vitro results, it can be concluded that the incorporation of SPG into BS was possible and produced an improvement in the physical-chemical characteristics and in the biological performance of the graft especially the formulation with 80/20 and 90/10. Future research should focus on in vivo evaluations of this novel composite.

Incorporation of Collagen from Marine Sponges (Spongin) into Hydroxyapatite Samples: Characterization and In Vitro Biological Evaluation. MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2019; 21:30-37. [PMID: 30218326 DOI: 10.1007/s10126-018-9855-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Accepted: 08/30/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Biomaterial-based bone grafts have an important role in the field of bone tissue engineering. One of the most promising classes of biomaterials is collagen, including the ones from marine biodiversity (in general, called spongin (SPG)). Also, hydroxyapatite (HA) has an important role in stimulating bone metabolism. Therefore, this work investigated the association of HA and SPG composites in order to evaluate their physico-chemical and morphological characteristics and their in vitro biological performance. For this, pre-set composite disks were evaluated by means of mass loss after incubation, pH, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and "in vitro" cell viability. pH measurements showed no statistical difference between groups. Moreover, a higher mass loss was observed for HA/SPG70/30 compared to the other groups for all experimental periods. Moreover, SEM representative micrographs showed the degradation of the samples with and without immersion. FTIR analysis demonstrated the absorption peaks for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), HA, and SPG. A higher L292 cell viability for control and PMMA was observed compared to HA and HA/SPG 90/10. Also, HA/SPG 70/30 showed higher cell viability compared to HA and HA/SPG 90/10 on days 3 and 7 days of culture. Furthermore, HA showed a significant lower MC3T3 cell viability compared to control and HA/SPG 70/30 on day 3 and no significant difference was observed between the composites in the last experimental period. Based on our investigations, it can be concluded that the mentioned composites were successfully obtained, presenting improved biological properties, especially the one mimicking the composition of bone (with 70% of HA and 30% of SPG). Consequently, these data highlight the potential of the introduction of SPG into HA to improve the performance of the graft for bone regeneration applications. Further long-term studies should be carried out to provide additional information concerning the late stages of material degradation and bone healing in the presence of HA/SPG.

Abstract
Increasing use of biosurfactants has stimulated the search for new and efficient biosurfactant-producing bacterial strains, preferably nonpathogenic ones. The aim of the present study was to characterize a new isolated Pseudomonas sp. KZ1 strain and its exocellular surface active compounds. After examining several mineral media of different compositions, the bioreactor-scale production of biosurfactants under optimum conditions was tested. Then, the composition of the isolated biosurfactants was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and their surface active properties were characterized by adsorption parameters. The results indicated that the Pseudomonas sp. KZ1 biosurfactant had the critical micelle concentration of 0.12 g L-1 and decreased the surface tension decreased to 31.7 mN m-1. Moreover, the biosurfactant increased the rate of biodegradation of diesel oil by the strains: Pseudomonas sp. KZ1, Pseudomonas sp. OS4 and Achromobacter sp. KW1. The obtained biosurfactant showing attractive properties is a promising and much 'greener' alternative in the application for surfactant-enhanced biodegradation of hydrocarbons.

Abstract
In this study, SBA-15 was modified by a series of silane coupling reagents and later used to immobilize Candida antartica lipase B (CALB). The enzymatic properties of the immobilized CALB samples were studied. In addition, the catalytic performance in glycerolysis of soybean oil for diacylglycerols (DAG) production was also investigated. The highest enzymatic activity up to 6100.00 ± 246.41 U/g was observed from the propyl methacrylate group modified SBA-15 supported CALB. No loss of activity was observed from the propyl methacrylate group modified SBA-15 supported CALB, but a higher-than-initial activity was notably found from 3-aminopropyl group and n-octyl group modified SBA-15 supported CALB after a 4-h incubation in air at 70 °C. 1-isocyanatopropane group modified SBA-15 supported CALB exhibited selectivity for DAG production. DAG content up to 61.90 ± 2.38 wt% and a DAG/MAG ratio at 3.11 ± 0.08 was obtained after a 24-h reaction at 60 °C in a solvent-free system.

Functionalized Magnetic Bacterial Cellulose Beads as Carrier for Lecitase® Ultra Immobilization. Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2018; 187:176-193.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose spheres subjected to amination and inlaid modification with superparamagnetic molecules were analyzed with regard to possibility of their application as an immobilization carrier of Lecitase® Ultra (LU) enzyme. The starting point to obtain the carrier was synthesis of bacterial cellulose spheres performed in shaking cultures of Komagataeibacter xylinus. These spheres were subsequently subjected to a multi-stage modification to increase the efficiency of the immobilization process and to separate product from the reaction medium. Maximal yield of Lecitase® Ultra immobilization equaled 70%. It was also found that immobilization process did not affect the pH and LU temperature optimum. Moreover, immobilized enzyme exhibited similar temperature stability profile as its native form. The immobilization process did not significantly affect the enzyme KM value. The immobilized enzyme retained over 70% of its initial activity after 8 cycles of use. The immobilized enzyme displayed good storage stability and retained 80% of its initial activity after 4 weeks at 4 °C. The potential application of such modified cellulose-based carrier may be correlated with lower costs of process thanks to higher enzyme’s reusability in comparison to unbound enzyme. Moreover, data presented in the current study may serve as proof of a concept of cellulose-based carrier utilization for immobilization of enzymes other than LU and of high industrial importance.

Abstract
Collagen is involved in the formation of complex fibrillar networks, providing the structural integrity of tissues. Its low immunogenicity and mechanical properties make this molecule a biomaterial that is extremely suitable for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) strategies in human health issues. Here, for the first time, we performed a thorough screening of four different methods to obtain sponge collagenous fibrillar suspensions (FSs) from C. reniformis demosponge, which were then chemically, physically, and biologically characterized, in terms of protein, collagen, and glycosaminoglycans content, viscous properties, biocompatibility, and antioxidant activity. These four FSs were then tested for their capability to generate crosslinked or not thin sponge collagenous membranes (SCMs) that are suitable for TERM purposes. Two types of FSs, of the four tested, were able to generate SCMs, either from crosslinking or not, and showed good mechanical properties, enzymatic degradation resistance, water binding capacity, antioxidant activity, and biocompatibility on both fibroblast and keratinocyte cell cultures. Finally, our results demonstrate that it is possible to adapt the extraction procedure in order to alternatively improve the mechanical properties or the antioxidant performances of the derived biomaterial, depending on the application requirements, thanks to the versatility of C. reniformis extracellular matrix extracts.

Abstract
Due to the rapid growth in quantities of phenolic compounds in wastewater, the development of efficient and environmentally friendly methods for their removal becomes a necessity. Thus, in a presented work, for the first time, a novel material, Hippospongia communis spongin-based scaffold, was used as a biopolymeric support for the immobilization of laccase from Trametes versicolor. The resulting biocatalytic systems were used for the biodegradation of three bisphenols: bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF) and bioremoval-resistant bisphenol S (BPS). Optimization of the immobilization and biodegradation methodologies was performed to increase bisphenols removal. The effect of temperature, pH and initial pollutant concentration was evaluated. It was shown that under optimal conditions, almost 100% of BPA (pH5, 30°C) and BPF (pH5, 40°C), and over 40% of BPS (pH4, 30°C) was removed from the solution at a concentration of 2mg/mL. Furthermore, the immobilized laccase exhibited good reusability and storage stability, retaining over 80% of its initial activity after 50days of storage. In addition, the main biodegradation products of BPA and BPF were identified. It was shown that mainly dimers and trimers were formed following the oxidation of bisphenols by the immobilized laccase.

Abstract
Enzymes serve as biocatalysts for innumerable important reactions, however, their application has limitations, which can in many cases be overcome by using appropriate immobilization strategies. Here, a new support for immobilizing enzymes is proposed. This hybrid organic-inorganic support is composed of chitosan-a natural, nontoxic, biodegradable, and edible biopolymer-and sodium polyphosphate as the inorganic component. Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) was immobilized on microspheres by encapsulation using these polymers. The characterization of the composites (by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and confocal Raman microscopy) confirmed the hybrid nature of the support, whose external part consisted of polyphosphate and core was composed of chitosan. The immobilized enzyme had the following advantages: possibility of enzyme reuse, easy biocatalyst recovery, increased resistance to variations in temperature (activity declined from 60 °C and the enzyme was inactivated at 80 °C), and increased catalytic activity in the transesterification reactions. The encapsulated enzymes were utilized as biocatalysts for transesterification reactions to produce the compound responsible for the aroma of jasmine.
