Bioorg Chem 2024; 151:107658. [PMID: 39033546 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107658] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
A peptidase S9 prolyl oligopeptidase domain from Thermotoga petrophila RKU-1T (TpS9) was over-expressed as an active, soluble and hyperstable lipolytic enzyme in the mesophilic host system. The sequence analysis demonstrated, TpS9 is an esterase/lipase-like protein belongs to alpha/beta (α/β)-hydrolase superfamily with a well-conserved penta-peptide (GLSAG) motif and α/β-hydrolase fold. Various approaches (induction and cultivation) were employed to enrich TpS9 production, 6.04- and 7.26-fold increment was observed with IPTG (0.4 mM) and lactose (200 mM) in the modified 4ZB medium (pH 7.0), but with IPTG-independent auto-induction strategy 9.02-fold augmentation was achieved after 16 h incubation at 24 °C (150 rev min-1). Purified TpS9 showed optimal activity in McIlvaine buffer (pH 6.5) at 80-85 °C, and revealed great thermal (30-85 °C) and pH (6.0-9.0) for 8 h. No obvious constraint was perceived with various metal ions, surfactants, commercial laundry detergents, and chemical modulators. Whereas, TpS9 activity was improved with Ca2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+ by 210 %, 142.5 %, and 134.3 %, respectively. With 2.5 M NaCl (215 %), 50 % (v/v) methanol (140 %), 50 % (v/v) ethanol (126.6 %), 50 % (v/v) n-butanol (122.3 %), 50 % (v/v) isopropanol (120.4 %), 50 % (v/v) acetone (118.6 %) and 50 % (v/v) glycerol (113.2 %) TpS9 activity was also enriched. TpS9 demonstrated great affinity toward natural oils and p-nitrophenyl ester substrates, but showed peak activity with p-nitrophenyl palmitate (3160 U mg-1). Km, Vmax, kcat, Vmax Km-1 and kcat Km-1 of TpS9 with pNPP were 0.421 mM, 4015 µmol mg-1 min-1, 906.4 s-1, 9536.8 min-1, and 2152.96 mM-1 s-1, respectively. Moreover, TPS9 has notable ability to clean stains (5 min) and degrade the animals' fat (3 h). Hence, TpS9 is a favorable candidate as cleaning bio-additive in detergent formulation, fat degradation and various other applications.

Quach NT, Nguyen TTA, Vu THN, Ta TTT, Phi QT, Trieu TA, Van Thuoc D. Genome mining and physiological analyses uncover adaptation strategies and biotechnological potential of Virgibacillus dokdonensis T4.6 isolated from high-salt shrimp paste. Arch Microbiol 2024; 206:309. [PMID: 38896253 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-024-04049-6] [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: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Virgibacillus spp. stand out as a potent starter culture for accelerating the fermention of fish sauces and shrimp pastes. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for their adaptation and biotechnological potential remain elusive. Therefore, the present study focuses on phenotypic and genomic analyses of a halophilic bacterium Virgibacillus dokdonensis T4.6, derived from Vietnamese high-salt fermented shrimp paste. The draft genome contained 4,096,868 bp with 3780 predicted coding sequences. Genome mining revealed the presence of 143 genes involved in osmotic adaptation explaining its resistant phenotype to 24% (w/v) NaCl. Among them, 37 genes making up the complete ectoine metabolism pathway, confirmed its ability to produce 4.38 ± 0.29 wt% ectoine under 12.5% NaCl stress. A significant finding was the identification of 39 genes responsible for an entire degradation pathway of the toxic biogenic amine histamine, which was in agreement with its histamine degradation rate of 42.7 ± 2.1% in the HA medium containing 5 mM histamine within 10 days at 37 °C. Furthermore, 114 proteolytic and 19 lipolytic genes were detected which might contribute to its survival as well as the nutrient quality and flavor of shrimp paste. Of note, a putative gene vdo2592 was found as a possible novel lipase/esterase due to its unique Glycine-Aspartate-Serine-Leucine (GDSL) sequence motif. This is the first report to reveal the adaptative strategies and related biotechnological potential of Virgibacillus associated with femented foods. Our findings indicated that V. dokdonensis T4.6 is a promising starter culture for the production of fermented shrimp paste products.

Abstract
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has become the focus of oilfield research due to its low cost, environmental friendliness and sustainability. The degradation and EOR capacity of A. borkumensis through the production of bio-enzyme and bio-surfactant were first investigated in this study. The total protein concentration, acetylcholinesterase, esterase, lipase, alkane hydroxylase activity, surface tension, and emulsification index (EI) were determined at different culture times. The bio-surfactant was identified as glycolipid compound, and the yield was 2.6 ± 0.2 g/L. The nC12 and nC13 of crude oil were completely degraded, and more than 40.0 % of nC14-nC24 was degraded by by A. borkumensis. The results of the microscopic etching model displacement and core flooding experiments showed that emulsification was the main mechanism of EOR. A. borkumensis enhanced the recovery rate by 20.2 %. This study offers novel insights for the development of environmentally friendly and efficient oil fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, lipase processing for biodiesel production has shown a global increase as it is considered a potential alternative clean-fuel source. The current study's objective is to investigate of lipolytic activity of lipase produced from different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in biodiesel production using edible plant oils. The goal is to develop an efficient and cost-effective method for producing inexpensive and environmentally friendly biodiesel. METHODS AND RESULTS Four P. aeruginosa isolates were obtained from different environmental sources (soil), phenotypically identified, and it was confirmed by the PCR detection of the 16SrRNA gene. The isolated P. aeruginosa strains were screened for lipase production, and the recovered lipase was purified. Besides, the lipase (lip) gene was detected by PCR, and the purified PCR products were sequenced and analyzed. The production of biofuel was conducted using gas chromatography among tested oils. It was found that castor oil was the best one that enhances lipase production in-vitro.

Abstract
A Gram-negative, aerobic bacterial strain RR6T was isolated from the sea sand to produce lipase and proposed as a novel species of Halopseudomonas. The optimum growth occurred at 28-37 °C, and the pH was 6.0-8.0. The optimum growth occurred at 3.0 -6.5% (w/v) NaCl. The major cellular fatty acids were C10:0 3OH, C12:0, C16:1 ω7c/16:1 ω6c, 18:1 ω7c and/or 18:1 ω6c, and C16:0. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, unidentified phospholipid, and unidentified lipids. The genome is 3.93 Mb, and the G + C content is 61.3%. The 16S rRNA gene sequences shared 99.73-99.87% sequence similarity with the closely related type strains of Halopseudomonas. The average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity of strain RR6T with reference type strains were below 95-96%, and the corresponding in-silico DNA-DNA hybridization values were below 70%. Strain RR6T clustered with Halopseudomonas gallaeciensis V113T and Halopseudomonas pachastrellae CCUG 46540 T in the phylogenetic tree. Further, lipase produced by this bacterium belongs to α/β hydrolase lipase family and exhibits structural similarity to the lactonizing lipase. Based on the polyphasic analysis, the new isolates RR6T represent a novel species of Halopseudomonas for which Halopseudomonas maritima sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RR6T (= NBRC 115418 T = TBRC 15628 T).

Biodegradation of Oil by a Newly Isolated Strain Acinetobacter junii WCO-9 and Its Comparative Pan-Genome Analysis. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11020407.

Abstract
Waste oil pollution and the treatment of oily waste present a challenge, and the exploitation of microbial resources is a safe and efficient method to resolve these problems. Lipase-producing microorganisms can directly degrade waste oil and promote the degradation of oily waste and, therefore, have very significant research and application value. The isolation of efficient oil-degrading strains is of great practical significance in research into microbial remediation in oil-contaminated environments and for the enrichment of the microbial lipase resource library. In this study, Acinetobacter junii WCO-9, an efficient oil-degrading bacterium, was isolated from an oil-contaminated soil using olive oil as the sole carbon source, and its enzyme activity of ρ-nitrophenyl decanoate (ρ-NPD) decomposition was 3000 U/L. The WCO-9 strain could degrade a variety of edible oils, and its degradation capability was significantly better than that of the control strain, A junii ATCC 17908. Comparative pan-genome and lipid degradation pathway analyses indicated that A. junii isolated from the same environment shared a similar set of core genes and that the species accumulated more specific genes that facilitated resistance to environmental stresses under different environmental conditions. WCO-9 has accumulated a complete set of oil metabolism genes under a long-term oil-contamination environment, and the compact arrangement of abundant lipase and lipase chaperones has further strengthened the ability of the strain to survive in such environments. This is the main reason why WCO-9 is able to degrade oil significantly more effectively than ATCC 17908. In addition, WCO-9 possesses a specific lipase that is not found in homologous strains. In summary, A. junii WCO-9, with a complete triglyceride degradation pathway and the specific lipase gene, has great potential in environmental remediation and lipase for industry.

Abstract
Rice-fish coculture (RF) is a small ecosystem in which microorganisms are widely distributed in the fish, water environment, soil, and plants. In order to study the positive effects of microorganisms on common carp and rice in the RF ecosystem, a total of 18 strains with growth-promoting ability were screened from common carp (Cyprinus carpio) gut contents, among which three strains had the ability to produce both DDP-IV inhibitors and IAA. The strain with the strongest combined ability, FYN-22, was identified physiologically, biochemically, and by 16S rRNA, and it was initially identified as Bacillus licheniformis. As the number of metabolites secreted by the strain under natural conditions is not sufficient for production, the FYN-22 fermentation medium formulation was optimized by means of one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) experiments and response surface methodology (RSM). The results showed that, under the conditions of a soluble starch concentration of 10.961 g/l, yeast concentration of 2.366 g/l, NH4Cl concentration of 1.881 g/l, and FeCl3 concentration of 0.850 g/l, the actual measured number of FYN-22 spores in the fermentation broth was 1.913 × 109 CFU/ml, which was 2.575-fold improvement over the pre-optimization value. The optimized fermentation solution was used for the immersion operation of rice seeds, and, after 14 days of incubation in hydroponic boxes, the FYN-22 strain was found to have a highly significant enhancement of 48.31% (p < 0.01) on the above-ground part of rice, and different degrees of effect on root length, fresh weight, and dry weight (16.73, 17.80, and 21.97%, respectively; p < 0.05). This study may provide new insights into the fermentation process of Bacillus licheniformis FYN-22 and its further utilization in RF systems.

Abstract
Five Bacillus cereus strains including B. cereus AVP12, B. cereus NC7401, B. cereus BDBCO1, B. cereus JF70 and B. specie JL47 isolated from the diesel fuel polluted soil adhered to the roots of Tagetes minuta were screened for lipase production with phenol red agar method. B. cereus NC7401 strain successfully expressing and secreting lipase with maximal lipolytic activity was subjected to a submerged fermentation process with five different carbon (starch, glucose, maltose, fructose, and lactose) and five different nitrogen (tryptone, ammonium nitrate, peptone, urea, yeast extract) sources to produce lipase enzyme. Maximum enzyme activity was found with starch (30.6 UmL-1), maltose (40 UmL-1), and tryptone (38.6 UmL-1), and the lipases produced using these sources were named lipase A, B, and C respectively. The total protein content of 8.56, 8.86, and 2.75 μg mL-1 were obtained from B. cereus NC7401 cultured using starch, maltose, and tryptone respectively. Lipase was stable between temperature range 30–80°C and pH 5–10 whereas optimally active at 55°C and pH 8.0. The enzyme was relatively stable for 10 days at 4°C and its optimum reaction time with the substrate was 30 minutes. It was tolerant to 1.5% (v/v) methanol as an organic solvent, 1.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 as a media additive and 1.5% (w/v) Ni2+ as a metal ion. SDS, n-hexane, and Ag+ inhibited lipolytic activity. Oil stains were removed from cotton fabric which showed oil removal efficiency enhancement in the presence of a lipase. Fat hydrolysis of 20, 24, and 30% was achieved following 6 hours of incubation of the fat particles with lipase A, B, and C respectively at a concentration of 20 mg mL-1. To as best of our knowledge, this study on lipases extracted from bacteria of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan origin has never been reported before.

Abstract
The emission of methylene blue (MB) from common industries causes risks to human health by making clean drinking water unavailable and hampering environmental safety. A biological approach offering a more cost-efficient and sustainable alternative solution has been studied and demonstrated to be significantly effective for the removal of MB using promising microbial isolates. Therefore, this study targeted bacterial candidates, namely Bacillus sp. React3, isolated from soil with the potential to decolorize MB. The phenogenic identification of strain React3 was performed by 16S rRNA sequencing, showing a similarity of 98.86% to Bacillus velezensis CR-502T. The ability of this bacterial strain to decolorize MB was proven through both the lignin peroxidase efficiency and accumulation in the biomass of the living cells. MB removal was determined by the reduction in the maximum absorption at a wavelength of 665 nm, which was observed to be up to 99.5% after 48 h of incubation. The optimal conditions for the MB degradation of strain React3 were pH 7, 35 °C, static, 4% inoculum, and 1000 mg/L of MB, with tryptone as a carbon source and yeast extract as a nitrogen source.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization has led to the pollution of soil and water by various types of contaminants. Heavy metals (HMs) are considered the most reactive toxic contaminants, even at low concentrations, which cause health problems through accumulation in the food chain and water. Remediation using conventional methods, including physical and chemical techniques, is a costly treatment process and generates toxic by-products, which may negatively affect the surrounding environment. Therefore, biosorption has attracted significant research interest in the recent decades. In contrast to existing methods, bacterial biomass offers a potential alternative for recovering toxic/persistent HMs from the environment through different mechanisms for metal ion uptake. This review provides an outlook of the advantages and disadvantages of the current bioremediation technologies and describes bacterial groups, especially extremophiles with biosorbent potential for heavy metal removal with relevant examples and perspectives.
