Intensification of lipase performance for long-term operation by immobilization on controlled pore silica in presence of polyethylene glycol

In agreement with previous studies, promising results were obtained when lipase was immobilized on controlled pore silica (CPS) in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG 1500). This methodology rendered immobilized derivatives with higher operational stability than those lacking PEG 1500. This article extends the scope of this approach by evaluating the combined effects of PEG concentration and lipase loading employing a multivariate statistical approach. A 2² factorial design with center point was adopted for a full understanding of these effects and their interactions. Conditions that maximize the immobilization yield were different from those attained for the biocatalyst’s operational stability. Possible reasons for the increase in both activity and stability of lipase immobilized on CPS in the presence of PEG 1500 are discussed in light of the influence of surface hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance.

Use of polyethylene glycol in the process of sol–gel encapsulation of Burkholderia cepacia lipase

Lipases from Burkholderia cepacia were encapsulated using polyethylene glycol (PEG, M _w 1500) at various concentrations (0.5–3.0 %, w/v) as an additive during the sol–gel immobilisation process. Matrixes immobilized in the presence and absences of additives were characterized by thermal analysis [thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)], scanning electron microscopy (SEM), enzymatic activity, and total activity recovery yield (Ya). The addition of PEG increased the activity values, with Ya just above 1.0 % (w/v) in the presence of PEG. The additional of 1.0 % (w/v) PEG increased enzyme activity from 33.98 to 89.91 U g^?1 and the values of recovery yield were 43.0–91.4 %, compared to values of the samples without PEG. PEG enhanced the thermal stability of the matrix structure in the temperature range 50–200 °C, as confirmed by TG and DSC analyses. This was influenced by the presence of water bound to the matrix. The SEM micrographs clearly showed an increase in the number of deposits on the material surface, producing matrices with greater porosity.     

Assessment of Activities and Conformation of Lipases Treated with Sub- and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

In order to illustrate the underlining mechanism of the effect of high pressure on lipases from different resources, the influence of compressed carbon dioxide treatment on the esterification activities and conformation of the three lipases Candida rugosa lipase (CRL), Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase, and Rhizopus oryzae lipase was investigated in the present work. The results showed that the lipases activities were significantly enhanced in most of high-pressure treatments, except the pressure had a negative effect on CRL activity in supercritical condition. Mild depressurization rate could remain the lipase’s activity by protecting its rigid structure under supercritical fluid. Conformational analysis by Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry and fluorescence emission spectra revealed that the variances of lipase activity after high-pressure treatment were correlated with the changes of its α-helix content and fluorescence intensity. Additionally, transesterification catalyzed by three lipases in supercritical carbon dioxide were conducted, and 87.2 % biodiesel conversion was obtained by CRL after 3 h, resulting in a great reduction of reaction time.     

Selection of stabilizing additive for lipase immobilization on controlled pore silica by factorial design

Candida rugosa lipase was covalently immobilized on silanized controlled poresilica (CPS) previously activated with glutaraldehyde in the presence of several additives to improve the performance of the immobilized from in long-term operation. Proteins (albumin and lecithin) and organic molecules (β-cyclodextrin and polyethylene glycol [PEG]-1500) were added during the immobilization procedure, and their effects are reported and compared to the behavior of the immobilized biocatalyst in the absence (lacking) of additive. The selection of the most efficient additive at different lipase loadings (150–450 U/g of dry support) was performed by experimental design. Two 2²full factorial designs with two repetitions at the center point were employed to evaluate the immobilization yield. A better, stabilizing effect was found when small amounts of albumin or PEG-1500, were added simul-taneou sly to the lipase on to the support. The catalytic activity had a maximum (193 U/mg) for lipase loading of 150 U/g of dry support using PEG-1500 as the stabilizing additive. This immobilized system was used to perform esterification reactions under repeated batch cycles (for the synthesis of butyl butyrate as a model). The half-life of the lipase immobilized on CPS in the presence of PEG-150 was found to increase fivefold compared with the control (immobilized lipase on CPS without additive).

Synthesis of a glutaraldehyde derivative of calix[4]arene as a cross-linker reagent for lipase immobilization

This article describes the synthesis of a new calix[4]arene 1,3-distal glutaraldehyde derivative 4 as a cross-linker-reagent for immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL). p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene 1,3-distal diaminoalkyl derivative (3) synthesized via aminolysis reaction of 5,11,17,23-tert-butyl-25,27-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-26,28-hydroxycalix[4]arene (2) with 1,8-diaminooctane. Compound 3 was converted to its aldehyde derivative (4) by the treatment with glutaraldehyde solution. 4 was used in lipase immobilization in order to see the role of calix[4]arene binding site on the lipase activity and stability. It was observed that the immobilized lipase activity was maintained at levels exceeding 95% of its original activity after 40 min.     

CO2-expanded bio-based liquids as novel solvents for enantioselective biocatalysis

For the first time, CO₂-expanded bio-based liquids were reported as novel and sustainable solvents for biocatalysis. Herein, it was found that by expansion with CO₂, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF), and other bio-based liquids, which were not favorable solvents for immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435) catalyzed transesterification, were tuned into excellent reaction media. Especially, for the kinetic resolution of challenging bulky secondary substrates such as rac-1-adamantylethanol, the lipase displayed very high activity with excellent enantioselectivity (E value > 200) in CO₂-expanded MeTHF (MeTHF concentration 10% v/v, 6 MPa), whereas there was almost no activity observed in conventional organic solvents.

Thermal- and dispersion-stable lipase-installed gold colloid: PEGylation of enzyme-installed gold colloid

Gold colloid possessing both lipase and PEG-tethered chains on the surface was prepared by the adsorption of lipase, followed by the immobilization of the PEG/polycation block copolymer on the colloid surface. The obtained colloid showed high dispersion stability up to 0.3 M NaCl concentration. The enzymatic activity of the lipase on the colloid complex was equivalent to the native enzyme. Surprisingly, more than 95% of the initial enzymatic activity was retained after repeated thermal treatments (five times) at 58 °C for 10 min. The PEG condensed layer between the immobilized enzyme on the gold colloid may prevent the denaturation of the enzyme at high temperature.

Developing a Library of Mannose-Based Mono- and Disaccharides: A General Chemoenzymatic Approach to Monohydroxylated Building Blocks

Regioselective deprotection of acetylated mannose-based mono- and disaccharides differently functionalized in anomeric position was achieved by enzymatic hydrolysis. Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and Bacillus pumilus acetyl xylan esterase (AXE) were immobilized on octyl-Sepharose and glyoxyl-agarose, respectively. The regioselectivity of the biocatalysts was affected by the sugar structure and functionalization in anomeric position. Generally, CRL was able to catalyze regioselective deprotection of acetylated monosaccharides in C6 position. When acetylated disaccharides were used as substrates, AXE exhibited a marked preference for the C2, or C6 position when C2 was involved in the glycosidic bond. By selecting the best enzyme for each substrate in terms of activity and regioselectivity, we prepared a small library of differently monohydroxylated building blocks that could be used as intermediates for the synthesis of mannosylated glycoconjugate vaccines targeting mannose receptors of antigen presenting cells.     

Regio-selective deprotection of peracetylated sugars via lipase hydrolysis

Purified lipases (via interfacial activation on hydrophobic supports) from different microbial extracts have been evaluated in the regio-selective hydrolysis of peracetylated sugars (peracetylated glucose, ribose and sucrose). Among the enzymes tested, lipases from Candida rugosa (CRL) and from Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL) exhibited the best properties in these reactions.Then, we have prepared two different immobilized lipase preparations obtained by interfacial activation on hydrophobic supports or by covalent attachment on glutaraldehyde agarose. Interfacially activated lipases exhibited a higher activity than covalently attached enzymes (even by a 100-fold factor), giving the higher yields of mono deacetylated sugars (in some instances by more than a threefold factor) in short reaction times. In the hydrolysis of 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-ribofuranose catalyzed by PFL adsorbed on octyl agarosa, hydrolyzed mainly the 3 position (30% of yield) while the CRL gave the hydrolysis only in position 5 (about 50% of yield).Depending on the enzyme immobilized preparation, we have been able also to obtain selective hydrolysis of 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-acetyl-α/β-d-glucopyranose obtaining a free hydroxyl group in position 1, 4 or 6. Moreover, selective hydrolysis in the 4′ position of peracetylated sucrose was achieved when the hydrolysis is performed with CRL immobilized on octyl-agarose (yield was 77%).     

Use of insoluble yeast beta-glucan as a support for immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase

In the present study, insoluble yeast beta-glucan (IYG) has been explored as a support matrix for enzyme immobilization. IYG contains mainly beta-(1-3) linkages along with some intra- or inter-molecular branches of beta-(1-6) linkages with large number of free hydroxyl groups. Epichlorohydrin was used to convert these free hydroxyl groups into activated epoxy groups that are capable of forming covalent linkages with various groups of enzyme molecule. The epoxy-activated IYG was evaluated for immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL). Post-immobilization treatment of 5% glutaraldehyde was given in order to achieve stable and irreversible binding of enzyme on the support. The resultant biocatalytic IYG support expressed lipase activity of 8136.7 U/g and 59.6% activity yield. There was 51.05% retention of synthetic activity after six repeated esterification cycles, indicating its stability and reusability in non-aqueous medium. Moreover, the immobilized lipase gave the storage half-life of about 285 days (at 4 degrees C).     

Effect of Additives on Freeze-Drying and Storage of Yarrowia lipolytica Lipase

The extracellular lipase of Yarrowia lipolytica presents numerous potentialities for biotechnological applications. This work describes the development and storage of powders obtained from supernatants containing Y. lipolytica lipase by freeze-drying as downstream process that is important in obtaining a stable lipase powder with high enzymatic activity. Lipase was produced by Y. lipolytica U6 mutant strain in 20-L bioreactor. Non-concentrated cell-free culture supernatant samples were supplemented with different concentrations (0.5?C1?%) of maltodextrin and glycerol as additives to freeze-drying. Effects of additives, temperature, pH, and storage time on lipase powders were determined. After addition of additives, freeze-drying yield increased 3.5-fold compared to supernatant without additive. Maltodextrin with 0.5?% concentration gave the best protection of lipase during dehydration treatment and its freeze-drying yield (77?%) is better than other formulations. Lipase powders were stored at 4 and 25?°C for 46?weeks without loss of lipase activity. A common impediment to the production of commercial enzyme is their low-stability aqueous solutions. The present study shows that freeze-dried lipase powders of Y. lipolytica have good stability for storage and various applications.     

Immobilization of Lipase from Grey Mullet

Grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) lipase was isolated using para-aminobenzamidine agarose and immobilized on octyl Sepharose CL-4B (o-Sep). Immobilized grey mullet lipase (GMLi) had a 10?°C higher optimum temperature compared to the free enzyme and showed remarkable thermal stability. GMLi was most active within the pH range of 8.0?C9.5 with an optimum at 8.5. Immobilization also enhanced the storage stability and reusability of the enzyme with minimal changes in efficiency during repeated batches. GMLi showed variable stabilities in various organic solvents. A signal in the amide I absorption region of the FTIR spectrum of GMLi was attributed to the protein layer on o-Sep. The surface morphology of o-Sep was visualized on a Zeiss stereomicroscope as globular-shaped beads.     

Modulation of the Biocatalytic Properties of a Novel Lipase from Psychrophilic Serratia sp. (USBA-GBX-513) by Different Immobilization Strategies

In this work, the effect of different immobilization procedures on the properties of a lipase obtained from the extremophilic microorganism Serratia sp. USBA-GBX-513, which was isolated from Paramo soils of Los Nevados National Natural Park (Colombia), is reported. Different Shepharose beads were used: octyl-(OC), octyl-glyoxyl-(OC-GLX), cyanogen bromide (BrCN)-, and Q-Sepharose. The performance of the different immobilized extremophile lipase from Serratia (ESL) was compared with that of the lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB). In all immobilization tests, hyperactivation of ESL was observed. The highest hyperactivation (10.3) was obtained by immobilization on the OC support. Subsequently, the thermal stability at pH 5, 7, and 9 and the stability in the presence of 50% (v/v) acetonitrile, 50% dioxane, and 50% tetrahydrofuran solvents at pH 7 and 40 °C were evaluated. ESL immobilized on octyl-Sepharose was the most stable biocatalyst at 90 °C and pH 9, while the most stable preparation at pH 5 was ESL immobilized on OC-GLX-Sepharose supports. Finally, in the presence of 50% (v/v) tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane at 40 °C, ESL immobilized on OC-Sepharose was the most stable biocatalyst, while the immobilized preparation of ESL on Q-Sepharose was the most stable one in 40% (v/v) acetonitrile.     

Immobilized Lipase from Candida sp. 99–125 on Hydrophobic Silicate: Characterization and Applications

Lipase Candida sp. 99–125 has been proved to be quite effective in catalyzing organic synthesis reactions and is much cheaper than commercial lipases. Mesoporous silicates are attractive materials for the immobilization of enzymes due to their unique structures. The present research designed a hydrophobic silicate with uniform pore size suitable for the comfort of lipase Candida sp. 99–125 for improving its activity and stability. The resulting immobilized lipase (LP@PMO) by adsorption was employed to catalyze hydrolysis, esterification, and transesterification reactions, and the performances were compared with the lipase immobilized on hydrophilic silicate (LP@PMS) and native lipase. The LP@PMO showed as high activity as that of native lipase in hydrolysis and much increased catalytic activity and reusability in the reactions for biodiesel production. Besides, LP@PMO also possessed better organic stability. Such results demonstrate that immobilization of lipase onto hydrophobic supports is a promising strategy to fabricate highly active and stable biocatalysts for applications.     

Characterization and utilization of Candida rugosa lipase immobilized on controlled pore silica

Candida rugosa lipase was immobilized by covalent binding on controlled poresilica (CPS) using glutaraldehyde ascross-linking agent under aqueous and nonaqueous conditions. The immobilized C. rugosa was more active when the coupling procedure was performed in the presence of a nonpolar solvent, hexane. Similar optima pH (7.5–8.0) was found for both free and immobilized lipase. The optimum temperature for the immobilized lipase was about 10°C higher than that for the free lipase. The thermal stability of the CPS lipase was alsogreater than the original lipase preparation. Studies on the operational stability of CPS lipase revealed good potential for recycling under aqueous (olive-oil hydrolysis) and nonaqueous (butyl butyrate synthesis) conditions.
