The Simple Method of Preparation of Highly Carboxylated Bacterial Cellulose with Ni- and Mg-Ferrite-Based Versatile Magnetic Carrier for Enzyme Immobilization.

ABSTRACT: The bacterial cellulose (BC) is a versatile biopolymer of microbial origin characterized by high purity and unusual water and material properties. However, the native BC contains a low number of functional groups, which significantly limits its further application. The main goal of its effective modification is to use methods that allow the unusual properties of BC to be retained and the desired functional group to be efficiently introduced. In the present study, the new magnetic carrier based on functionalized citric acid (CA) bacterial cellulose was developed and tested to support critical industrial enzymes such as lipase B from Candida antarctica and phospholipase A from Aspergillus oryzae. The applied method allowed BC to be effectively modified by citric acid and a sufficient number of carboxylic groups to be introduced, up to 3.6 mmol of COOH per gram of dry mass of the prepared carrier. The DSC and TGA analyses revealed carrier stability at operational temperatures in the range of 20 °C to 100 °C and substantially influenced the amount of the introduced carboxyl groups on carrier properties. Both enzymes' immobilization significantly improves their thermal stability at 60 °C without a significant thermal and pH optima effect. The analyzed enzymes showed good operational stability with a significant residual activity after ten cycles of repeated uses. The new magnetic carrier based on highly carboxylated bacterial cellulose has a high application capability as matrix for immobilization the various enzymes of industrial interest.

Functionalized Magnetic Bacterial Cellulose Beads as Carrier for Lecitase® Ultra Immobilization.

Project description: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.

A Simple and Versatile Strategy for Oriented Immobilization of His-Tagged Proteins on Magnetic Nanoparticles.

Project description:Oriented and covalent immobilization of proteins on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is particularly challenging as it requires both the functionality of the protein and the colloidal stability of the MNPs to be preserved. Here, we describe a simple, straightforward, and efficient strategy for MNP functionalization with proteins using metal affinity binding. Our method involves a single-step process where MNPs are functionalized using a preformed, ready-to-use nitrilotriacetic acid-divalent metal cation (NTA-M2+) complex and polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the oriented immobilization of a recombinant cadherin fragment engineered with a hexahistidine tag (6His-tag) onto the MNPs. Our developed methodology is simple and direct, enabling the oriented bioconjugation of His-tagged cadherins to MNPs while preserving protein functionality and the colloidal stability of the MNPs, and could be extended to other proteins expressing a polyhistidine tag. When compared to the traditional method where NTA is first conjugated to the MNPs and afterward free metal ions are added to form the complex, this novel strategy results in a higher functionalization efficiency while avoiding MNP aggregation. Additionally, our method allows for covalent bonding of the cadherin fragments to the MNP surface while preserving functionality, making it highly versatile. Finally, our strategy not only ensures the correct orientation of the protein fragments on the MNPs but also allows for the precise control of their density. This feature enables the selective targeting of E-cadherin-expressing cells only when MNPs are decorated with a high density of cadherin fragments.

Simple and Fast One-Pot Cellulose Gel Preparation in Aqueous Pyrrolidinium Hydroxide Solution-Cellulose Solvent and Antibacterial Agent.

Project description:Cellulose is the main component of biomass and is the most abundant biopolymer on earth; it is a non-toxic, low-cost material that is biocompatible and biodegradable. Cellulose gels are receiving increasing attention as medical products, e.g., as wound dressings. However, the preparation of cellulose hydrogels employing unmodified cellulose is scarcely reported because of the cumbersome dissolution of cellulose. In previous studies, we developed the new promising cellulose solvent N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium hydroxide in an aqueous solution, which can dissolve up to 20 wt% cellulose within a short time at room temperature. In this study, we employed this solvent system and investigated the gelation behavior of cellulose after crosslinker addition. The swelling behavior in water (swelling ratio, water uptake), the mechanical properties under compression, and the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis were investigated. We have developed a simple and fast one-pot method for the preparation of cellulose gels, in which aqueous pyrrolidinium hydroxide solution was acting as the solvent and as an antibacterial reagent. The pyrrolidinium hydroxide content of the gels was controlled by adjustment of the water volume employed for swelling. Simple recovery of the solvent system was also possible, which makes this preparation method environmentally benign.

Immobilization of GOx Enzyme on SiO<sub>2</sub>-Coated Ni-Co Ferrite Nanocomposites as Magnetic Support and Their Antimicrobial and Photocatalytic Activities.

Project description:The present study used a sol-gel auto-combustion approach to make silica (SiO2)-coated Ni-Co ferrite nanocomposites that would be used as a platform for enzyme immobilization. Using glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent, glucose oxidase (GOx) was covalently immobilized on this magnetic substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the structural analysis and morphology of Ni-Co ferrite/SiO2 nanocomposites. FTIR spectra confirmed the binding of GOx to Ni-Co ferrite/SiO2 nanocomposites, with a loading efficiency of around 85%. At alkaline pH and higher temperature, the immobilized GOx enzyme exhibited increased catalytic activity. After 10 times of reuses, it still had 69% catalytic activity. Overall, the immobilized GOx displayed higher operational stability than the free enzyme under severe circumstances and was easily recovered by magnetic separation. With increased doping concentration of the nanocomposites, the photocatalytic activity was assessed using a degradation process in the presence of methylene blue dye under UV light irradiation, which revealed that the surface area of the nanocomposites with increased doping concentration played a significant role in improving photocatalytic activity. The antibacterial activity of Ni-Co ferrite/SiO2 nanocomposites was assessed using the agar well diffusion method against Escherichia coli, a gram-negative bacteria (ATCC 25922). Consequently, it was revealed that doping of Ni2+ and Co2+ in Fe2O4/SiO2 nanocomposites at varied concentrations improved their antibacterial properties.

Antimicrobial Lemongrass Essential Oil-Copper Ferrite Cellulose Acetate Nanocapsules.

Project description:Cellulose acetate (CA) nanoparticles were combined with two antimicrobial agents, namely lemongrass (LG) essential oil and Cu-ferrite nanoparticles. The preparation method of CA nanocapsules (NCs), with the two antimicrobial agents, was based on the nanoprecipitation method using the solvent/anti-solvent technique. Several physical and chemical analyses were performed to characterize the resulting NCs and to study their formation mechanism. The size of the combined antimicrobial NCs was found to be ca. 220 nm. The presence of Cu-ferrites enhanced the attachment of LG essential oil into the CA matrix. The magnetic properties of the combined construct were weak, due to the shielding of Cu-ferrites from the polymeric matrix, making them available for drug delivery applications where spontaneous magnetization effects should be avoided. The antimicrobial properties of the NCs were significantly enhanced with respect to CA/LG only. This work opens novel routes for the development of organic/inorganic nanoparticles with exceptional antimicrobial activities.

All-Around Electromagnetic Wave Absorber Based on Ni-Zn Ferrite.

Project description:Exploring a convenient, scalable, yet effective broadband electromagnetic wave absorber (EMA) in the gigahertz (GHz) region is of high interest today to quench its expanding demand. Ni-Zn ferrite is considered as a potential EMA; however, their performance study as a scalable effective millimeter-length absorber is still limited. Herein, we investigated EM wave attenuation properties of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (NZF) samples substituting Mn ion in place of Fe3+ as well as Zn2+ within a widely used frequency range of 0.1-9 GHz. Through composition optimization, Ni0.5Zn0.4Mn0.1Fe2O4 (NZM0.1F) EMA demonstrates excellent microwave absorption performance accompanied by simultaneous maximum reflection loss (RL) of -50.2 dB and wide BW of 6.8 GHz (with RL < -10 dB, i.e., attenuation >90%) at an optimum thickness of 6 mm. Moreover, the attenuation constant significantly increases from ∼217 to 301 Np/m with Mn doping. The key contribution arises from magnetic-dielectric properties synergy along with enhanced dielectric and magnetic losses owing to cation chemistry and site occupation in spinel NZF. In addition, porosity is induced in the system by a controlled two-step heat treatment process that promotes total loss with multiple internal reflections of the EM wave. Furthermore, RL is simulated by varying incident EM wave angles for the NZM0.1F sample displaying its angle insensitivity up to 50°. Our results reveal NZM0.1F as a futuristic environment-friendly microwave absorber material that is suitable for practical high-frequency applications.

Highly Active Ce- and Mg-Promoted Ni Catalysts Supported on Cellulose-Derived Carbon for Low-Temperature CO<sub>2</sub> Methanation.

Project description:The CO2 methanation performance of Mg- and/or Ce-promoted Ni catalysts supported on cellulose-derived carbon (CDC) was investigated. The samples, prepared by biomorphic mineralization techniques, exhibit pore distributions correlated to the particle sizes, revealing a direct effect of the metal content in the textural properties of the samples. The catalytic performance, evaluated as CO2 conversion and CH4 selectivity, reveals that Ce is a better promoter than Mg, reaching higher conversion values in all of the studied temperature range (150-500 °C). In the interval of 350-400 °C, Ni-Mg-Ce/CDC attains the maximum yield to methane, 80%, reaching near 100% CH4 selectivity. Ce-promoted catalysts were highly active at low temperatures (175 °C), achieving 54% CO2 conversion with near 100% CH4 selectivity. Furthermore, the large potential stability of the Ni-Mg-Ce/CDC catalyst during consecutive cycles of reaction opens a promising route for the optimization of the Sabatier process using this type of catalyst.

Extended investigation of tube-gel sample preparation: a versatile and simple choice for high throughput quantitative proteomics.

Project description:Sample preparation for quantitative proteomics is a crucial step to ensure the repeatability and the accuracy of the results. However, there is no universal method compatible with the wide variety of protein extraction buffers currently used. We have recently demonstrated the compatibility of tube-gel with SDS-based buffers and its efficiency for label-free quantitative proteomics by comparing it to stacking gel and liquid digestion. Here, we investigated the compatibility of tube-gel with alternatives to SDS-based buffers allowing notably the extraction of proteins in various pH conditions. We also explored the use of photopolymerization to extend the number of possibilities, as it is compatible with a wide range of pH and is non-oxidative. To achieve this goal, we compared six extraction buffers in combination with two polymerization conditions to further optimize the tube-gel protocol and evaluate its versatility. Identification and quantitative results demonstrated the compatibility of tube-gel with all tested conditions by overall raising quite comparable results. In conclusion, tube-gel is a versatile and simple sample preparation method for large-scale quantitative proteomics applications.
