Abstract
The utilisation of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in CO2 sequestration is becoming prominent as an efficient, environment friendly and rapid catalyst for capturing CO2 from industrial emissions. However, the application of CA enzyme in soluble form is constrained due to its poor stability in operational conditions of CO2 capture and also production cost of the enzyme. Addressing these limitations, the present study focuses on the surface display of CA from Bacillus halodurans (BhCA) on E coli aiming to contribute to the cost-effectiveness of carbon capture through CA technology. This involved the fusion of the BhCA-encoding gene with the adhesion molecule involved in diffuse adherence (AIDA-I) autotransporter, resulting in the efficient display of BhCA (595 ± 60 U/gram dry cell weight). Verification of the surface display of BhCA was accomplished by conjugating with FITC labelled anti-his antibody followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and cellular fractionation in conjunction with zymography. Biochemical characterisation of whole-cell biocatalyst revealed a noteworthy enhancement in thermostability, improvement in the thermostability with T1/2 of 90 ± 1.52 minutes at 50 ˚C, 36 ± 2.51 minutes at 60 ˚C and18 ± 1.52 minutes at 80˚C. Surface displayed BhCA displayed remarkable reusability retaining 100% activity even after 15 cycles. Surface displayed BhCA displayed highly alkali stable nature like free counterpart in solution. The alkali stability of the surface-displayed BhCA was comparable to its free counterpart in solution. Furthermore, the study investigated the impact of different metal ions, modulators, and detergents on the whole-cell biocatalysts. The present work represents the first report on surface display of CA utilising the AIDA-1 autotransporter.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
