This study aims to use the design of experiment (DOE) approach to develop spray-dried encapsulated trypsin nano-powder (TrySP) with maximum activity and stability using a Büchi B-90 nano spray dryer. A 53 full factorial design with 26 randomly ordered experiments was created to study the impact of process variables on the quality attributes of TrySP. The additive concentration (%), mesh cap size (μm), inlet temperature (Tinlet) (°C), trypsin concentration (%), and additive type (Mannitol or trehalose) were selected as the independent variables. The dependent parameters were yield value, particle size, residual enzyme activity, and moisture content. Further, comparative physicochemical and kinetic characterization of TrySP was performed. TrySP had diverse qualities (yield value 60.2–96.8%, residual activity >90–50%, particle size 314–1030 nm, and moisture content 0.7–2.2%). Optimized TrySP exhibited 89% yield value and 95% residual activity in the presence of 8% (w/w) mannitol. Kcat of TypSP increased from 22.5/s to 25.6/s with improved operational and storage stabilities. The half-life (t1/2) of TrySP showed 6 folds increase. Furthermore, TrySP activation energy increased from 45,918 J/mol to 94,491 J/mol. The sustainable model presented in this study enables the development of a thermostable, encapsulated trypsin nano-powder with physical and chemical properties that are optimized for various biotechnological industrial applications.Keywords: Büchi B-90 spray dryingdesign of experimentsimmobilizationtrypsin enzyme formulationkinetic parametersnano powder Authors’ contributionsHM established, designed, and carried out some of the experiments, assisted with data analysis, and wrote the majority of the manuscript.

However, layered hydroxide salts (LHSs), another group of brucite-like nanomaterials, have not yet been used for enzyme immobilization. In this work, we prepared two types of layered hydroxide salts, zinc hydroxide nitrate (ZHN: Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2.2H2O) and zinc hydroxide chloride (ZHC: Zn5(OH)8Cl2.H2O) and used them to immobilize Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (LipPS). The best protein loading for both ZHN and ZHC was 162.5 mg g−1 of LHS, which gave high values of triolein-hydrolyzing activity in organic medium (103 U g−1 for LipPS-ZHN and 105 U g−1 for LipPS-ZHC), immobilization efficiencies above 90% and activity retentions above 170%. In the kinetic resolution of (R,S)-1-phenylethanol, LipPS-ZHN gave better results, with 50% conversion being obtained in 2 h and an ees of 99%. With LipPS-ZHC, the conversion at 2 h was 40% and the ees, was lower, only 73%. For both immobilized materials, the eep was higher than 99% and E was higher than 200. The immobilized materials were stable after 5 cycles of reuse in successive 2-h kinetic resolutions.

Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) act as an emerging contaminant classified among the class pharmaceutical and personal care pollutant (PPCP) and is detected in wastewater and sewage systems. The enrichment culture approach was used for the isolation APAP-degrading bacterium wastewater sample. Microscopic examination, biochemical and 16S rRNA sequence analysis showed that the isolate PYP-2 belongs to the Bacillus pumilus strain. Shake flask and batch culture degradation studies have shown that the strain can degrade APAP. Further, the response surface methodology (RSM) plot was used to know the best physical condition for biodegradation by optimization study. The optimum pH of 5.0, temperature of 30 °C, agitation speed of 146 rpm, and APAP 267 mg/L concentration were reported for PYP-2-based degradation. Bacterial biomass kinetic analysis was performed at the best physical condition, and the results showed that the specific growth rate (µ) was 713 mg/L. Oxalic acid, 2-isopropyl-5-methyl cyclohexanone, and phenothiazine were the intermediates of the APAP degradation pathway detected by the GC-MS chromatogram peaks. Therefore, this research has shown that Bacillus pumilus strain PYP-2 has the metabolic capacity to biodegrade APAP, providing new tools for bioremediation.Keywords: ParacetamolBacillus pumilus strain PYP-2biodegradation16S rRNA sequence analysisshake flask studywastewater AcknowledgmentsThe authors are thankful to Department of Biotechnology, Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology Murthal Sonipat Haryana India, for providing necessary facilities to conduct this study.

The immobilization was confirmed by fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis. The optimum pH was determined as 8.5 for all the free and immobilized L-asparaginase samples.

The study was carried out in two different mediums: non-aqueous conditions and in low water content media. The impact of the anionic counter-ions was examined in four solvents: nonpolar, semipolar, protic, and aprotic, with and without the aforementioned salts. In non-aqueous media, the addition of Na2CO3 significantly enhanced CAL-B hydrolysis rates, resulting in a conversion of 50% for 1a and 44% for 2a, with high enantioselectivities (E > 200). These effects were independent of the solvent hydrophobicity. In contrast, PCL required the presence of external water for effective hydrolysis of both acetates. The addition of salt additives had an adverse impact on PCL activity during the hydrolysis of 1a in hexane, toluene, and TBME solvents. However, when 2M2B was used, the inclusion of salt additives had a notable positive effect on the conversion rates, except for NaCl, which resulted in a lower conversion rate with a value of 15.5%. The presence of Na2CO3 improved the conversion rate during the hydrolysis of 2a in both hexane and TBME. Na2HPO4 further enhanced the conversion rate, reaching 44% in TBME. However, in 2M2B solvent, the addition of Na2HPO4 significantly reduced the enantioselectivity.","PeriodicalId":8824,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis and Biotransformation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135741344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
