Recovery of solanesol from tobacco as a value-added byproduct for alternative applications

Solanesol in the waste streams of a bioprocess designed for alternative applications of low-alkaloid tobacco was recovered using three different extraction methods. Compared to the conventional heat-reflux extraction (HRE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) using 1:3 hexane:ethanol (v/v) as the solvent after saponification treatment of tobacco biomass was found the most effective in terms of solanesol yield, processing time, and volume of solvent consumed. Quantification of solanesol was achieved by optimizing the mobile phase at 60/40 acetonitrile–isopropanol and lowering the oven temperature to 22 °C using a standard reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The total solanesol recovered from tobacco biomass and chloroplast accounted for 30% (w/w) of the total solanesol in the fresh leaves. Since solanesol is the precursor of metabolically active quinones such as coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K analogues, extraction of solanesol from tobacco bioprocess waste is a feasible operation and could leverage the overall profitability of biorefining tobacco for alternative, value-added uses.     

Enzymatic deinking of laser printed office waste papers: some governing parameters on deinking efficiency

The protocol for the enzymatic deinking of laser printed waste papers on a laboratory scale using cellulase (C) and hemicellulase (H) of Aspergillus niger (Amano) was developed as an effective method for paper recycling. A maximum deinking efficiency of almost 73% by the enzyme combination of C:H was obtained using the deinking conditions of pulping consistency of 1.0% (w/v) with the pulping time of 1.0min, temperature of 50 degrees C, pH=3.5, agitation rate of 60rpm, pulp concentration of 4% (w/v), concentration of each enzyme of 2.5U/g air dried pulp and the enzyme ratio of 1:1. The deinking efficiency was further enhanced to 95% using the optimized flotation system consisting of pH=6.0, Tween 80 of concentration 0.5% (w/w), working air flow rate of 10.0L/min and temperature of 45 degrees C. The deinked papers were found to exhibit properties comparable to the commercial papers suggesting the effectiveness of the enzymatic process developed.     

Bioconversion of lignocellulose and simultaneous production of cellulase,ligninase and bioflocculants by Alcaligenes faecalis-X3

Lignocelluloses have been used as carbon sources for bioflocculant production. However, the low bioconversion efficiency of lignocellulose to bioflocculants is a major challenge. In this study, a lignocellulolytic strain of Alcaligenes faecalis-X3 was cultivated in ramie bio-degumming wastewater. Optimal production of ligninase, cellulase and bioflocculants (MBF-X3) was evaluated. The highest activity of MBF-X3 under the optimal conditions of pH 6.0 at 48 h of fermentation was 95.44%, with the maximum production of ligninase and cellulase (0.27 and 0.12 U/mL, respectively). The crude ligninase and cellulase had optimum activities at pH 5.0 and 40 °C and pH 6.0 and 50 °C, respectively. The cellulase activity was increased by Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Mg²⁺ at 1 mM. The ligninase activity was significantly enhanced in the presence of Zn²⁺ at 10 mM. The flocculating activity of MBF-X3 was not changed by the addition of any metal cation. The results demonstrated that A. faecalis possesses an excellent enzyme system for the efficient bioconversion of lignocellulose into MBF-X3. Additionally, MBF-X3 has a high flocculating efficiency of Disperse Blue-2BLN (85.7%) at a dose of 1.0 g/L.

Cellulose is a kind of renewable resource that is abundant in nature.It can be degraded by microorganisms such as mildew.A mildew strain with high cellulase activity was isolated from mildewy maize cob and classified as Aspergillus glaucus XC9 by morphological and 18S rRNA gene sequence analyses.We studied the effects of nitrogen source,initial pH,temperature,incubation time,medium composition,and surfactants on cellulase production.Maximal activities of carboxymethylcellulase (6,812 U/g dry koji) and filter paperase (172 U/g dry koji) were obtained in conditions as follows:initial pH,5.5-6.0;temperature,30℃;cultivation period,3-4 days;inoculum ratio,6% (vol/vol);sugarcane bagasse/wheat bran ratio,4:6.When bagasse was used as substrate and mixed with wet koji at a 1:1 (wt/wt) ratio,the yield of reducing sugars was 36.4%.The corresponding conversion rate of cellulose to reducing sugars went as high as 81.9%.The results suggest that A.glaucus XC9 is a preferred candidate for cellulase production.     

Optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction of pectinase enzyme from guava (Psidium guajava) peel: Enzyme recovery,specific activity,temperature, and storage stability

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the ultrasound-assisted extraction conditions on the yield, specific activity, temperature, and storage stability of the pectinase enzyme from guava peel. The ultrasound variables studied were sonication time (10–30 min), ultrasound temperature (30–50°C), pH (2.0–8.0), and solvent-to-sample ratio (2:1 mL/g to 6:1 mL/g). The main goal was to optimize the ultrasound-assisted extraction conditions to maximize the recovery of pectinase from guava peel with the most desirable enzyme-specific activity and stability. Under the optimum conditions, a high yield (96.2%), good specific activity (18.2 U/mg), temperature stability (88.3%), and storage stability (90.3%) of the extracted enzyme were achieved. The optimal conditions were 20 min sonication time, 40°C temperature, at pH 5.0, using a 4:1 mL/g solvent-to-sample ratio. The study demonstrated that optimization of ultrasound-assisted process conditions for the enzyme extraction could improve the enzymatic characteristics and yield of the enzyme.

Trade-offs in carbon-degrading enzyme activities limit long-term soil carbon sequestration with biochar addition

Biochar amendment is one of the most promising agricultural approaches to tackle climate change by enhancing soil carbon (C) sequestration. Microbial-mediated decomposition processes are fundamental for the fate and persistence of sequestered C in soil, but the underlying mechanisms are uncertain. Here, we synthesise 923 observations regarding the effects of biochar addition (over periods ranging from several weeks to several years) on soil C-degrading enzyme activities from 130 articles across five continents worldwide. Our results showed that biochar addition increased soil ligninase activity targeting complex phenolic macromolecules by 7.1%, but suppressed cellulase activity degrading simpler polysaccharides by 8.3%. These shifts in enzyme activities explained the most variation of changes in soil C sequestration across a wide range of climatic, edaphic and experimental conditions, with biochar-induced shift in ligninase:cellulase ratio correlating negatively with soil C sequestration. Specifically, short-term (<1 year) biochar addition significantly reduced cellulase activity by 4.6% and enhanced soil organic C sequestration by 87.5%, whereas no significant responses were observed for ligninase activity and ligninase:cellulase ratio. However, long-term (≥1 year) biochar addition significantly enhanced ligninase activity by 5.2% and ligninase:cellulase ratio by 36.1%, leading to a smaller increase in soil organic C sequestration (25.1%). These results suggest that shifts in enzyme activities increased ligninase:cellulase ratio with time after biochar addition, limiting long-term soil C sequestration with biochar addition. Our work provides novel evidence to explain the diminished soil C sequestration with long-term biochar addition and suggests that earlier studies may have overestimated soil C sequestration with biochar addition by failing to consider the physiological acclimation of soil microorganisms over time.     

Comprehensive studies on optimization of cellulase and xylanase production by a local indigenous fungus strain via solid state fermentation using oil palm frond as substrate

The high cost of cellulases remains the most significant barrier to the economical production of bio-ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. The goal of this study was to optimize cellulases and xylanase production by a local indigenous fungus strain (Aspergillus niger DWA8) using agricultural waste (oil palm frond [OPF]) as substrate. The enzyme production profile before optimization indicated that the highest carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCase), filter paper (FPase), and xylanase activities of 1.06 U/g, 2.55 U/g, and 2.93 U/g were obtained on day 5, day 4, and day 5 of fermentation, respectively. Response surface methodology was used to study the effects of several key process parameters in order to optimize cellulase production. Of the five physical and two chemical factors tested, only moisture content of 75% (w/w) and substrate amount of 2.5 g had statistically significant effect on enzymes production. Under optimized conditions of 2.5 g of substrate, 75% (w/w) moisture content, initial medium of pH 4.5, 1 × 10⁶ spores/mL of inoculum, and incubation at ambient temperature (±30°C) without additional carbon and nitrogen, the highest CMCase, FPase, and xylanase activities obtained were 2.38 U/g, 2.47 U/g, and 5.23 U/g, respectively. Thus, the optimization process increased CMCase and xylanase production by 124.5 and 78.5%, respectively. Moreover, A. niger DWA8 produced reasonably good cellulase and xylanase titers using OPF as the substrate when compared with previous researcher finding. The enzymes produced by this process could be further use to hydrolyze biomass to generate reducing sugars, which are the feedstock for bioethanol production.
