Co-Immobilization of Rhizopus oryzae and Candida rugosa Lipases onto mMWCNTs@4-arm-PEG-NH₂-A Novel Magnetic Nanotube-Polyethylene Glycol Amine Composite-And Its Applications for Biodiesel Production.

ABSTRACT: This article describes the successful synthesis of a novel nanocomposite of superparamagnetic multi-walled nanotubes with a four-arm polyethylene glycol amine polymer (mMWCNTs@4-arm-PEG-NH₂). This composite was then employed as a support for the covalent co-immobilization of Rhizopus oryzae and Candida rugosa lipases under appropriate conditions. The co-immobilized lipases (CIL-mMWCNTs@4-arm-PEG-NH₂) exhibited maximum specific activity of 99.626U/mg protein, which was 34.5-fold superior to that of free ROL, and its thermal stability was greatly improved. Most significantly, CIL-mMWCNTs@4-arm-PEG-NH₂ was used to prepare biodiesel from waste cooking oil under ultrasound conditions, and within 120 min, the biodiesel conversion rate reached 97.64%. This was due to the synergy effect between ROL and CRL and the ultrasound-assisted enzymatic process, resulting in an increased biodiesel yield in a short reaction time. Moreover, after ten reuse cycles, the co-immobilized lipases still retained a biodiesel yield of over 78.55%, exhibiting excellent operational stability that is attractive for practical applications. Consequently, the combined use of a novel designed carrier, the co-immobilized lipases with synergy effect, and the ultrasound-assisted enzymatic reaction exhibited potential prospects for future applications in biodiesel production and various industrial applications.

Lipases immobilization for effective synthesis of biodiesel starting from coffee waste oils.

Project description:Immobilized lipases were applied to the enzymatic conversion of oils from spent coffee ground into biodiesel. Two lipases were selected for the study because of their conformational behavior analysed by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations taking into account that immobilization conditions affect conformational behavior of the lipases and ultimately, their efficiency upon immobilization. The enzymatic synthesis of biodiesel was initially carried out on a model substrate (triolein) in order to select the most promising immobilized biocatalysts. The results indicate that oils can be converted quantitatively within hours. The role of the nature of the immobilization support emerged as a key factor affecting reaction rate, most probably because of partition and mass transfer barriers occurring with hydrophilic solid supports. Finally, oil from spent coffee ground was transformed into biodiesel with yields ranging from 55% to 72%. The synthesis is of particular interest in the perspective of developing sustainable processes for the production of bio-fuels from food wastes and renewable materials. The enzymatic synthesis of biodiesel is carried out under mild conditions, with stoichiometric amounts of substrates (oil and methanol) and the removal of free fatty acids is not required.

Lipase from Rhizopus oryzae R1: in-depth characterization, immobilization, and evaluation in biodiesel production.

Project description:BackgroundRhizopus species is among the most well-known lipase producers, and its enzyme is suitable for use in many industrial applications. Our research focuses on the production of lipase utilizing waste besides evaluating its applications.ResultsAn extracellular lipase was partially purified from the culture broth of Rhizopus oryzae R1 isolate to apparent homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by desalting via dialysis. The partially purified enzyme was non-specific lipase and the utmost activity was recorded at pH 6, 40 °C with high stability for 30 min. The constants Km and Vmax, calculated from the Lineweaver-Burk plot, are 0.3 mg/mL and 208.3 U/mL, respectively. Monovalent metal ions such as Na+ (1 and 5 mM) and K+ (5 mM) were promoters of the lipase to enhance its activity with 110, 105.5, and 106.5%, respectively. Chitosan was used as a perfect support for immobilization via both adsorption and cross-linking in which the latter method attained immobilization efficiency of 99.1% and reusability of 12 cycles. The partially purified enzyme proved its ability in forming methyl oleate (biodiesel) through the esterification of oleic acid and transesterification of olive oil.ConclusionThe partially purified and immobilized lipase from Rhizopus oryzae R1 approved excellent efficiency, reusability, and a remarkable role in detergents and biodiesel production.

Recovery of Polyphenols from Grape Pomace Using Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-Grafted Silica Particles and PEG-Assisted Cosolvent Elution.

Project description:Adsorption on a functionalized surface can be an effective way of purifying polyphenols from complex plant extracts. Polymeric resins that rely on hydrophobic interactions suffer from low selectivity, weak affinity towards polyphenols, and lack tunability therefore making the purification of polyphenols less efficient. In this study, a purification process for the recovery of polyphenols from grape pomace extract was successfully developed using hydrogen bonding affinity ligands grafted on silica particles and PEG-assisted elution solvents. Bare silica (SiO2) and polyethylene glycol (mPEG)-grafted silica microparticles with molecular weights of 2000 and 5000 were tested to determine their polyphenol binding and release characteristics. Functionalizing the surface of bare silica with mPEG ligands increased the adsorption capacity by 7.1- and 11.4-fold for mPEG-2000 and mPEG-5000 compared to bare silica particles, respectively. This was likely due to the introduction of more polyphenol binding sites with mPEG functionalization. Altering the molecular weight (MW) of mPEG grafted on silica surfaces provided tunability in the adsorption capacity. A complete recovery of polyphenols (~99.9%) from mPEG-grafted silica particles was achieved by utilizing PEG-ethanol or PEG-water cosolvent systems. Recovered polyphenols showed up to ~12-fold antioxidant activity compared to grape pomace extract. This study demonstrates that mPEG-grafted silica particles and elution of polyphenols with PEG cosolvents can potentially be used for large-scale purification of polyphenols from complex plant extracts and simplify the use of polyphenols, as PEG facilitates remarkable solvation and is an ideal medium for the final formulation of polyphenols.

Physiological Investigation and Transcriptome Analysis of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-Induced Dehydration Stress in Cassava.

Project description:Cassava is an important tropical and sub-tropical root crop that is adapted to drought environment. However, severe drought stress significantly influences biomass accumulation and starchy root production. The mechanism underlying drought-tolerance remains obscure in cassava. In this study, changes of physiological characters and gene transcriptome profiles were investigated under dehydration stress simulated by polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatments. Five traits, including peroxidase (POD) activity, proline content, malondialdehyde (MDA), soluble sugar and soluble protein, were all dramatically induced in response to PEG treatment. RNA-seq analysis revealed a gradient decrease of differentially expressed (DE) gene number in tissues from bottom to top of a plant, suggesting that cassava root has a quicker response and more induced/depressed DE genes than leaves in response to drought. Overall, dynamic changes of gene expression profiles in cassava root and leaves were uncovered: genes related to glycolysis, abscisic acid and ethylene biosynthesis, lipid metabolism, protein degradation, and second metabolism of flavonoids were significantly induced, while genes associated with cell cycle/organization, cell wall synthesis and degradation, DNA synthesis and chromatin structure, protein synthesis, light reaction of photosynthesis, gibberelin pathways and abiotic stress were greatly depressed. Finally, novel pathways in ABA-dependent and ABA-independent regulatory networks underlying PEG-induced dehydration response in cassava were detected, and the RNA-Seq results of a subset of fifteen genes were confirmed by real-time PCR. The findings will improve our understanding of the mechanism related to dehydration stress-tolerance in cassava and will provide useful candidate genes for breeding of cassava varieties better adapted to drought environment.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-associated immune responses triggered by clinically relevant lipid nanoparticles in rats.

Project description:With the large-scale vaccination of lipid nanoparticles (LNP)-based COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, elucidating the potential polyethylene glycol (PEG)-associated immune responses triggered by clinically relevant LNP has become imminent. However, inconsistent findings were observed across very limited population-based studies. Herein we initiated a study using LNP carrier of Comirnaty® as a representative, and simulated real-world clinical practice covering a series of time points and various doses correlated with approved LNP-delivered drugs in a rat model. We demonstrated the time- and dose-dependency of LNP-induced anti-PEG antibodies in rats. As a thymus-independent antigen, LNP unexpectedly induced isotype switch and immune memory, leading to rapid enhancement and longer lasting time of anti-PEG IgM and IgG upon re-injection in rats. Importantly, initial LNP injection accelerated the blood clearance of subsequent dosing in rats. These findings refine our understandings on LNP and possibly other PEG derivatives, and may promote optimization of related premarket guidelines and clinical protocols.

Does Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Plus Ascorbic Acid Induce More Mucosal Injuries than Split-Dose 4-L PEG during Bowel Preparation?

Project description:The aims of this study were to compare the bowel-cleansing efficacy, patient affinity for the preparation solution, and mucosal injury between a split dose of polyethylene glycol (SD-PEG) and low-volume PEG plus ascorbic acid (LV-PEG+Asc) in outpatient scheduled colonoscopies.Of the 319 patients, 160 were enrolled for SDPEG, and 159 for LV-PEG+Asc. The bowel-cleansing efficacy was rated according to the Ottawa bowel preparation scale. Patient affinity for the preparation solution was assessed using a questionnaire. All mucosal injuries observed during colonoscopy were biopsied and histopathologically reviewed.There was no significant difference in bowel cleansing between the groups. The LV-PEG+Asc group reported better patient acceptance and preference. There were no significant differences in the incidence or characteristics of the mucosal injuries between the two groups.Compared with SD-PEG, LV-PEG+Asc exhibited equivalent bowel-cleansing efficacy and resulted in improved patient acceptance and preference. There was no significant difference in mucosal injury between SD-PEG and LV-PEG+Asc. Thus, the LV-PEG+Asc preparation could be used more effectively and easily for routine colonoscopies without risking significant mucosal injury.

Immobilization of Interfacial Activated <i>Candida rugosa</i> Lipase Onto Magnetic Chitosan Using Dialdehyde Cellulose as Cross-Linking Agent.

Project description:Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) was activated with surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS]) and covalently immobilized onto a nanocomposite (Fe3O4-CS-DAC) fabricated by combining magnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4 with chitosan (CS) using polysaccharide macromolecule dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) as the cross-linking agent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction characterizations confirmed that the organic-inorganic nanocomposite support modified by DAC was successfully prepared. Enzymology experiments confirmed that high enzyme loading (60.9 mg/g) and 1.7 times specific enzyme activity could be obtained under the optimal immobilization conditions. The stability and reusability of immobilized CRL (Fe3O4-CS-DAC-SDS-CRL) were significantly improved simultaneously. Circular dichroism analysis revealed that the active conformation of immobilized CRL was maintained well. Results demonstrated that the inorganic-organic nanocomposite modified by carbohydrate polymer derivatives could be used as an ideal support for enzyme immobilization.

Reference ranges for the polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation activity (%PPA) of eight routine enzyme activities

Project description:Macroenzymes are high-molecular weight forms of enzymes whose presence in human sera can lead to non-pathological, elevated enzyme activities, resulting in further unnecessary clinical evaluation. Precipitation with polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an efficient method for removing macroforms from patient samples and can therefore be used for their identification. Cut-offs (99. Percentiles) for the PEG precipitation activity (%PPA) for eight routine enzyme activities were determined on Abbott's Alinity c, namely: AST (61%), ALT (70%), GGT (41%), LDH (45%), lipase (56%), ALP (17%), CK (36%) and PAMY (45%). Two macroforms (PAMY and CK) were then identified by gel filtration chromatography. We suggest that a %PPA above the enzyme-specific cut-off makes the presence of a macroform possible while a %PPA ≥80%, i.e. markedly above the cut-off, makes it very likely for all enzymes.

Effects of Essential 8 (E8) media additives polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Heparin sodium salt (HS) on the pluripotency and oncogenes

Project description:Manuscript Name: "Addressing Bioreactor hiPSC Aggregate Stability, Maintenance and Scaleup Challenges Using a Design of Experiment Approach" Evaluation of core pluripotent genes showed that expression levels were similar between samples with a clear indication of a primed phenotype. In addition, we evaluated several well-known oncogenes notable TP53, MYC, NANOGP8, EEF1A2 and KLF4 were expressed with similar transcript levels between samples, though KLF4 had low overall expression. It was observed that a few genes indicative of forward differentiation were expressed with TSR genes TDGF1, LEFTY1 and IL17RC and the trophectodermal genes KRT8 and TEAD4 showing comparable expression levels. Expression of the primary primitive streak gene NODAL was observed at low transcript levels in both samples. Examining the top differentially expressed genes we noted that there were several genes involved in ectodermal differentiation and some key signaling pathway components that were significantly downregulated in response to the presence of PEG and HS. Down-regulated ectodermal genes included SOX1, OLIG3, LHX5 and OTX2 as well as some less known ones. The pathways most downregulated were the TGFβ family as suggested by BMP2 and BMP4 down regulation, though the previously mentioned levels of TDGF1, LEFTY1 and NODAL remained consistent to cultures lacking additives. Wnt family signaling components down regulated were Wnt4, FRZB, FZD5 and FRZ8. Also a decreased in retinoic acid signaling components were noted as indicated by decreased CYP26A1, CYP26C1, DHRS3 and CRABP2 transcript levels.
