Kaur J, Kaur J. Comparative genomics of seven genomes of genus Idiomarina reveals important halo adaptations and genes for stress response. 3 Biotech 2024; 14:40. [PMID: 38261836 PMCID: PMC10794682 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03887-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The genus Idiomarina consists of halophilic and/or haloalkaliphilic organisms. We compared the complete genomes of seven strains of the genus Idiomarina to investigate its adaptation to saline environment. A total of 1,313 core genes related to salinity tolerance, stress response, antibiotic resistance genes, virulence factors, and drug targets were found. Comparative genomics revealed various genes involved in halo adaptations of these organisms, including transporters and influx or efflux systems for elements such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd. In agreement with their isolation sources (such as hydrothermal vents and marine sediments) and environments abundant in heavy metals, various resistance proteins and transporters associated with metal tolerance were also identified. These included copper resistance proteins, zinc uptake transcriptional repressor Zur, MerC domain-containing protein, Cd(II)/Pb(II)-responsive transcriptional regulator, Co/Zn/Cd efflux system protein, and mercuric transporter. Interestingly, we observed that the carbohydrate metabolism pathways were incomplete in all the strains and transporters used for absorption of small sugars were also not found in them. Also, the presence of higher proportion of genes involved in protein metabolism than carbohydrate metabolism indicates that proteinaceous substrates act as the major food substrates for these bacterial strains than carbohydrates. Genomic islands were detected in some species, highlighting the role of horizontal gene transfer for acquisition in novel genes. Genomic rearrangements in terms of partially palindromic regions were detected in all strains. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive comparative genomics study among the genus Idiomarina revealing unique genomic features within bacterial species inhabiting different ecological niches.

Li Y, Zhou M, Li C, Pan X, Lv N, Ye Z, Zhu G, Zhao Q, Cai G. Inoculating indoleacetic acid bacteria promotes the enrichment of halotolerant bacteria during secondary fermentation of composting. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 322:116021. [PMID: 36067675 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.116021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The secondary fermentation stage is critical for stabilizing composting products and producing various secondary metabolites. However, the low metabolic rate of mesophilic bacteria is regarded as the rate-limiting stage in composting process. In present study, two indoleacetic acid (IAA)-producing bacteria (Bacillus safensis 33C and Corynebacterium stationis subsp. safensis 29B) were inoculated to strengthen the secondary fermentation stage to improve the plant-growth promoting potential of composting products. The results showed that the addition of IAA-producing bacteria promoted the assimilation of soluble salt, the condensation and aromatization of humus, and the accumulation of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The bioaugmentation strategy also enabled faster microbial community succession during the medium-late phase of secondary fermentation. However, the colonization of Bacillus and Corynebacterium could not explain the disproportionate increase of IAA yield, which reached up to 5.6 times compared to the control group. Deeper analysis combined with physicochemical properties and microbial community structure suggested that IAA-producing bacteria might induce the increase of salinity, which enriched halotolerant bacteria capable of producing IAA, such as Halomonas, Brachybacterium and Flavobacterium. In addition, the results also proved that it was necessary to shorten secondary fermentation time to avoid IAA degradation without affecting composting maturity. In summary, enhancing secondary fermentation of composting via adding proper IAA-producing bacteria is an efficient strategy for upgrading the quality of organic fertilizer.

Abstract
With industrialization and development in modern science enzymes and their applications increased widely. There is always a hunt for new proficient enzymes with novel properties to meet specific needs of various industrial sectors. Along with the high efficiency, the green and eco-friendly side of enzymes attracts human attention, as they form a true answer to counter the hazardous and toxic conventional industrial catalyst. Lipases have always earned industrial attention due to the broad range of hydrolytic and synthetic reactions they catalyse. When these catalytic properties get accompanied by features like temperature stability, pH stability, and solvent stability lipases becomes an appropriate tool for use in many industrial processes. Extremophilic lipases offer the same, thermostable: hot and cold active thermophilic and psychrophilic lipases, acid and alkali resistant and active acidophilic and alkaliphilic lipases, and salt tolerant halophilic lipases form excellent biocatalyst for detergent formulations, biofuel synthesis, ester synthesis, food processing, pharmaceuticals, leather, and paper industry. An interesting application of these lipases is in the bioremediation of lipid waste in harsh environments. The review gives a brief account on various extremophilic lipases with emphasis on thermophilic, psychrophilic, halophilic, alkaliphilic, and acidophilic lipases, their sources, biochemical properties, and potential applications in recent decades.

Abstract
Biodiesel is a renewable, sulfur-free, toxic-free, and low carbon fuel which possesses enhanced lubricity. Transesterification is the easiest method employed for the production of biodiesel, in which the oil is transformed into biodiesel. Biocatalyst-mediated transesterification is more advantageous than chemical process because of its non-toxic nature, the requirement of mild reaction conditions, absence of saponification, easy product recovery, and production of high-quality biodiesel. Lipases are found to be the primary enzymes in enzyme-mediated transesterification process. Currently, researchers are using lipases as biocatalyst for transesterification. Lipases are extracted from various sources such as plants, microbes, and animals. Biocatalyst-based biodiesel production is not yet commercialized due to high-cost of purified enzymes and higher reaction time for the production process. However, research works are growing in the area of various cost-effective techniques for immobilizing lipase to improve its reusability. And further reduction in the production cost of lipases can be achieved by genetic engineering techniques. The reduction in reaction time can be achieved through ultrasonic-assisted biocatalytic transesterification. Biodiesel production by enzymatic transesterification is affected by many factors. Various methods have been developed to control these factors and improve biodiesel production. This report summarizes the various sources of lipase, various production strategies for lipase and the lipase-mediated transesterification. It is fully focused on the lipase enzyme and its role in biodiesel production. It also covers the detailed explanation of various influencing factors, which affect the lipase-mediated transesterification along with the limitations and scope of lipase in biodiesel production.

Abstract
Microbial lipases are commercially significant due to their versatile catalytic function of hydrolysis triacylglycerol. Among these, lipases from extremophiles are optimal for industrial application. Halophilic microorganisms living in a high salinity environment, such as the ocean, salt lakes, salt wells, and so on, produce halophilic lipases. In recent decades, many remarkable achievements have been made related to the properties and application of halophilic lipases. This review offers information collected over the last decades on halophilic lipase sources as well as advances in production, factors influencing activity, stability under various conditions, structural characteristics, progress in industrial applications such as food flavor modification, biodiesel production, and waste treatment, to provide theoretical and methodological references for the research in this direction.

Bioprospecting potentials of moderately halophilic bacteria and the isolation of squalene producers from Kuwait sabkha. Int Microbiol 2021; 24:373-384.

Abstract
Sabkhas in Kuwait are unique hypersaline marine environments under-explored for bacterial community composition and bioprospecting. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis of 46 isolates with distinct morphology from two Kuwait sabkhas recovered 11 genera. Phylum Firmicutes dominated these isolates, and Bacillus (32.6%) was recovered as the dominant genera, followed by Halococcus (17.4%). These isolates were moderately halophilic, and some of them showed tolerance and growth at extreme levels of salt (20%), pH (5 and/or 11), and temperature (55 °C). A higher percentage of isolates harbored protease (63.0), followed by DNase (41.3), amylase (41.3), and lipase (32.6). Selected isolates showed antimicrobial activity against E. faecalis and isolated Halomonas shengliensis, and Idiomarina piscisalsi harbored gene coding for dNDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase (Glu 1), indicating their potential to produce biomolecules with deoxysugar moieties. Palmitic acid or oleic acid was the dominant fatty acid, and seven isolates had some polyunsaturated fatty acids (linolenic or γ-linolenic acid). Interestingly, six isolates belonging to Planococcus and Oceanobacillus genus produced squalene, a bioactive isoprenoid molecule. Their content increased 30-50% in the presence of Terbinafine. The potential bioactivities and extreme growth conditions make this untapped bacterial diversity a promising candidate for future bioprospecting studies.

Abstract
Alginate and its derivatives are annually produced approximately 30,000 tons or more and are applied to various industries as they are natural polymers. The global market for alginate and its derivatives has been growing steadily. There is little research compared to other enzymes produced through biomass degradation or modification. An alginate lyase, MtAl138, from Microbulbifer thermotolerans DAU221 was cloned and identified in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). MtAl138 contains a highly conserved motif (R538TELR, Q607IH609, and YFKAGVY716NQ), which indicates that it belongs to the polysaccharide lyase family 7 (PL7). MtAl138, with a molecular weight of 77 kDa worked optimally at 45 °C and pH 7.4. MtAl138 showed twice as much activity as when there was no NaCl when there was between 100 and 600 mM NaCl. Moreover, its activity increased in organic solvents such as benzene, hexane, methanol, and toluene. Based on the thin layer chromatography analyses, MtAl38 is an endo-type enzyme that produces di-, tri-, or tetrasaccharides from polyG and polyM. This study provided that MtAl138 is an endoenzyme that showed outstanding enzymatic activity at concentrated salt solutions and organic solvents, which makes it a reasonably attractive enzyme for use in various industries.

Abstract
Enzyme activity in nonaqueous media (e.g. conventional organic solvents) is typically lower than in water by several orders of magnitude. There is a rising interest of developing new nonaqueous solvent systems that are more "water-like" and more biocompatible. Therefore, we need to learn from the current state of nonaqueous biocatalysis to overcome its bottleneck and provide guidance for new solvent design. This review firstly focuses on the discussion of how organic solvent properties (such as polarity and hydrophobicity) influence the enzyme activity and stability, and how these properties impact the enzyme's conformation and dynamics. While hydrophobic organic solvents usually lead to the maintenance of enzyme activity, solvents carrying functional groups like hydroxys and ethers (including crown ethers and cyclodextrins) can lead to enzyme activation. Ionic liquids (ILs) are designable solvents that can conveniently incorporate these functional groups. Therefore, we systematically survey these ether- and/or hydroxy-functionalized ILs, and find most of them are highly compatible with enzymes leading to high activity and stability. In particular, ILs carrying both ether and tert-alcohol groups are among the most enzyme-activating solvents. Future direction is to learn from enzyme behaviors in both water and nonaqueous media to design biocompatible "water-like" solvents.

Abstract
Microbial communities capable of hydrocarbon degradation linked to biosurfactant (BS) and bioemulsifier (BE) production are basically unexplored in the Gulf of México (GOM). In this work, the BS and BE production of culturable marine bacterial hydrocarbonoclasts consortia isolated from two sites (the Perdido Fold Belt and Coatzacoalcos area) was investigated. The prospection at different locations and depths led to the screening and isolation of a wide variety of bacterial consortia with BS and BE activities, after culture enrichment with crude oil and glycerol as the carbon sources. At least 55 isolated consortia presented reduction in surface tension (ST) and emulsifying activity (EI24 ). After colony purification, bacteria were submitted to polyphasic analysis assays that resulted in the identification of different strains of cultivable Gammaproteobacteria Gram (-) Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Erwinia, Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Shewanella, Thalassospira, Idiomarina, Pseudoalteromonas, Photobacterium, and Gram (+) Staphylococcus, Bacillus, and Microbacterium. Overall, the best results for ST reduction and EI24 were obtained with consortia. Individually, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Enterobacter strains showed the best results for the reduction of ST after 6 days, while Thalassospira and Idiomarina strains showed the best results for EI24 (above 68% after 9 days). Consortia isolates from the GOM had the ability to degrade crude oil by up to 40-80% after 24 and 36 months, respectively. In all cases, biodegradation of crude oil was related to the reduction in ST and bioemulsifying activity and was independent from the depth in the water column.

Abstract
This study reports for the first time the isolation, identification and characterization of lipase-producing thermophilic strain from the geothermal water of the El Chichón volcano crater lake. Two strains were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing as Geobacillus jurassicus CHI2 and Geobacillus stearothermophilus CHI1. Results showed that G. jurassicus CHI2 is Gram-positive, able to ferment maltose, fructose and sucrose and to hydrolyze starch and casein; while G. stearothermophilus CHI1 showed to be Gram-variable, able to ferment maltose and fructose and to hydrolyze starch. Colonies of both strains presented irregular shape, umbilicated elevation of gummy texture and cells presented flagellar movement to survive in fluids with high temperature and mass gradients due to complex phenomena of heat and mass transfer present in the geothermal fluids. Lipase production for G. stearothermophilus CHI1 was also evaluated. It was found that this strain possesses a growth associated with extracellular lipase production with a high activity of 143 U/mL at 8.3 h of incubation time, superior to the activities reported for other microorganisms of genus Geobacillus; for this reason, it can be said that the thermal flow of the El Chichón volcano crater lake can be a useful source of lipase-producing thermophilic bacteria.

Abstract
To understand the denitrification efficiency and microbial community shift with increasing salinity in salinity adaptation and shock loading process, nitrate (NO3--N), nitrite (NO2--N) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies were monitored feeding acetate and primary sludge fermentation liquid. During adaptation process, salinity had little effect on NO3--N removal efficiency (>99.0%) with acetate-fed, while for fermentation liquid-fed, it decreased to around 97% at high salinity (>2.5%). Effluent NO2--N was lower than 0.1 mg/L, though obvious fluctuation of NO2--N was observed with fermentation liquid-fed when salinity change. During shock loading process, denitrification process all had slight decrease when the salinity abruptly increased to 5.0%. Traditional denitrifier of Thauera was the dominant genus, and a specialized microbial community of Azoarcus in salinity adaptation and Paracoccus in shock loading for denitrification showed high salinity tolerant. Meanwhile, microbial diversity was enriched with fermentation liquid-fed at high salinity condition.

Abstract
Lipases are hydrolytic enzymes owing much importance in industrial applications. These enzyme-based detergents are ecofriendly and produce a wastewater with low level of COD (chemical oxygen demand). In the present work, a novel halophilous, thermoalkaline, and detergent-tolerant lipase produced by a newly isolated Aeribacillus pallidus strain VP3 was studied. Considerable interest has been given to this lipase by the improvement of its catalytic activity through the optimization of the pH, the (C/N) ratio, and the inoculum size, using the response surface methodology based on the Box-Behnken design of experiments. A total of 16 experiments were conducted, and the optimized pH, (C/N) ratio, and inoculum size were 10, 1, and 0.3, respectively. The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test indicated that the established model was significant (p value < 0.05). The optimization of the production conditions leads to 2.83-fold of increase in the catalytic activity calculated as the ratio of the activity obtained after optimization (68 U) and the initial activity before optimization (24 U). All in all, the lipase of Aeribacillus pallidus could be considered as a potential candidate to be incorporated in detergent formulations since it shows a good stability towards detergents and wash performance.

Abstract
Raspberry ketone is a primary aroma component of the red raspberry. The glycosylation of this compound is a potential approach used to improve its pharmaceutical properties. In this work, raspberry ketone glycosides are produced in bacteria for the first time. Bacillus licheniformis PI15, an organic solvent-tolerant glycosyltransferase-producing strain, was isolated from chemically polluted soil. The cloning and heterologous expression of a glycosyltransferase, which was designated PI-GT1, in Escherichia coli BL21 resulted in the expression of an active and soluble protein that accounted for 15% of the total cell protein content. Purified PI-GT1 was highly active and stable over a broad pH range (6.0-10.0) and showed excellent pH stability. PI-GT1 maintained almost 60% of its maximal activity after 3 H of incubation at 20-40 °C and demonstrated optimal activity at 30 °C. Additionally, PI-GT1 displayed high stability and activity in the presence of hydrophilic solvents with log P ≤ -0.2 and retained more than 80% of its activity after 3 H of treatment. Supplementation with 10% DMSO markedly improved the glycosylation of raspberry ketone, resulting in a value 26 times higher than that in aqueous solution. The organic solvent-tolerant PI-GT1 may have potential uses in industrial chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis applications.

Abstract
An extracellular lipase from Aureobasidium pullulans was obtained and purified with a specific activity of 17.7 U/mg of protein using ultrafiltration and a DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow column. Characterization of the lipase indicated that it is a novel finding from the species A. pullulans. The molecular weight of the lipase was 39.5 kDa, determined by sodium dodecyl sulfonate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme exhibited its optimum activity at 40 °C and pH of 7. It also showed a remarkable stability in some organic solutions (30%, v/v) including n-propanol, isopropanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and hexane. The catalytic activity of the lipase was enhanced by Ca2+ and was slightly inhibited by Mn2+ and Zn2+ at a concentration of 10 mmol/L. The lipase was activated by the anionic surfactant SDS and the non-ionic surfactants Tween 20, Tween 80, and Triton X-100, but it was drastically inhibited by the cationic surfactant cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). Furthermore, the lipase was able to hydrolyze a wide variety of edible oils, such as peanut oil, corn oil, sunflower seed oil, sesame oil, and olive oil. Our study indicated that the lipase we obtained is a potential biocatalyst for industrial use.

Abstract
Global warming and the limitations of using fossil fuels are a main concern of all societies, and thus, the development of alternative fuel sources is crucial to improving the current global energy situation. Biofuels are known as the best alternatives of unrenewable fuels and justify increasing extensive research to develop new and less expensive methods for their production. The most frequent biofuels are bioethanol, biobutanol, biodiesel, and biogas. The production of these biofuels is the result of microbial activity on organic substrates like sugars, starch, oil crops, non-food biomasses, and agricultural and animal wastes. Several industrial production processes are carried out in the presence of high concentrations of NaCl and therefore, researchers have focused on halophiles for biofuel production. In this review, we focus on the role of halophilic microorganisms and their current utilization in the production of all types of biofuels. Also, the outstanding potential of them and their hydrolytic enzymes in the hydrolysis of different kind of biomasses and the production of biofuels are discussed.

Abstract
Saline environments, such as marine and hypersaline habitats, are widely distributed around the world. They include sea waters, saline lakes, solar salterns, or hypersaline soils. The bacteria that live in these habitats produce and develop unique bioactive molecules and physiological pathways to cope with the stress conditions generated by these environments. They have been described to produce compounds with properties that differ from those found in non-saline habitats. In the last decades, the ability to disrupt quorum-sensing (QS) intercellular communication systems has been identified in many marine organisms, including bacteria. The two main mechanisms of QS interference, i.e., quorum sensing inhibition (QSI) and quorum quenching (QQ), appear to be a more frequent phenomenon in marine aquatic environments than in soils. However, data concerning bacteria from hypersaline habitats is scarce. Salt-tolerant QSI compounds and QQ enzymes may be of interest to interfere with QS-regulated bacterial functions, including virulence, in sectors such as aquaculture or agriculture where salinity is a serious environmental issue. This review provides a global overview of the main works related to QS interruption in saline environments as well as the derived biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The present work describes the enzymatic properties of Penicillium chrysogenum lipase and its behavior in the presence of organic solvents. The temperature and pH optima of the purified lipase was found to be 55 °C and pH 8.0 respectively. The lipase displayed remarkable stability in both polar and non-polar solvents upto 50% (v/v) concentrations for 72 h. A structural perspective of the purified lipase in different organic solvents was gained by using circular dichroism and intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy. The native lipase consisted of a predominant α-helix structure which was maintained in both polar and non-polar solvents with the exception of ethyl butyrate where the activity was decreased and the structure was disrupted. The quenching of fluorescence intensity in the presence of organic solvents indicated the transformation of the lipase microenviroment P. chrysogenum lipase offers an interesting system for understanding the solvent stability mechanisms which could be used for rationale designing of engineered lipase biocatalysts for application in organic synthesis in non-aqueous media.

Abstract
Idiomarinaceae is a family of Gram-stain negative, mesophilic euryhalophiles. To provide a robust framework for the evolutionary and taxonomic relationships of bacteria of this family, we compared herein the genomes of 36 type strains and 43 non-type strains using 16S rRNA gene sequences, core genome based 78 single-copy orthologous proteins, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity (ANI) estimation. The 79 bacteria of this family were consistently divided into taxon I, taxon II, and taxon III corresponding to the three genera Idiomarina, Pseudidiomarina, and Aliidiomarina, which contained 13 putative new genospecies in addition to 35 well-defined species represented by each type strain. Furthermore, genetic diversity of this family was evident at the genus- and species levels, and exceeded that which is defined currently by the named species. In view of multiple genotypic characteristics clearly distinct from the other two genera, we propose reinstating the genus Pseudidiomarina as a monophyletic taxon. Taken together, this is the first genome-based study of the taxonomy and diversity of bacteria within the family Idiomarinaceae, and will contribute to further insights into microbial evolution and adaptation to saline environments.

Abstract
The definition of halophiles as "the coming stars of industrial biotechnology" in a recent review demands new research efforts for their efficient production at bioreactor scale. In this sense, the scarcity of information about halolipases production has furthered the research on the viability of Halomonas sp. LM1C culture in a mechanically stirred bioreactor. The operating conditions have been optimized by means of a Central Composite Face-Centered (CCFC) design. The operation at low aerations (0.25 vvm) and moderate agitation rates (583 rpm) led to activity levels near 8000 U/L, which clearly surpasses the typical values detected for other extremophilic enzymes. The process at optimum conditions has been kinetically characterized and the oxygen volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) has been determined.

Abstract
This study explored the bacterial diversity of brines used for cheesemaking in Italy, as well as their physicochemical characteristics. In this context, 19 brines used to salt soft, semi-hard, and hard Italian cheeses were collected in 14 commercial cheese plants and analyzed using a culture-independent amplicon sequencing approach in order to describe their bacterial microbiota. Large NaCl concentration variations were observed among the selected brines, with hard cheese brines exhibiting the highest values. Acidity values showed a great variability too, probably in relation to the brine use prior to sampling. Despite their high salt content, brine microbial loads ranged from 2.11 to 6.51 log CFU/mL for the total mesophilic count. Microbial community profiling assessed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that these ecosystems were dominated by Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, followed by Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes. Cheese type and brine salinity seem to be the main parameters accountable for brine microbial diversity. On the contrary, brine pH, acidity and protein concentration, correlated to cheese brine age, did not have any selective effect on the microbiota composition. Nine major genera were present in all analyzed brines, indicating that they might compose the core microbiome of cheese brines. Staphylococcus aureus was occasionally detected in brines using selective culture media. Interestingly, bacterial genera associated with a functional and technological use were frequently detected. Indeed Bifidobacteriaceae, which might be valuable probiotic candidates, and specific microbial genera such as Tetragenococcus, Corynebacterium and non-pathogenic Staphylococcus, which can contribute to sensorial properties of ripened cheeses, were widespread within brines.

Abstract
In this study, the viability of using biological induction as an alternative to the conventional chemical induction in lipase production by a novel halophilic microorganism, Halomonas sp. LM1C, has been demonstrated. Thus, a 9-times increase of lipase activity (3000U/L) was recorded when Staphylococcus equorum sp. AMC7 was present in the medium, which is competitive with the results obtained when Triton X-100 was added as chemical inducer. The GC-MS data allowed concluding the true nature of the biological inducer effect, as the existence of high percentages of isomeric forms of pentadecanoic acid were detected. The suitability of the proposed strategy was validated by operating at bench scale bioreactor, and the influence of bioreactor configuration on the biomass and lipolytic activity levels was studied. All the data were fitted to logistic and Luedeking & Piret models to characterize the bioprocess kinetics, concluding the growth-associated character of the produced lipolytic enzymes.

Abstract
Screening of metagenomic library from Taptapani Hot Spring (Odisha) yielded a positive lipase clone (pUC-lip479). Sequence analysis showed an ORF (RK-lip479) of 416 amino acid residues which was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Optimum pH and temperature of purified lipase RK-lip479 were 8.0 and 65 °C, respectively, and found to be stable over a pH range of 7.0-9.0 and temperatures 55-75 °C. RK-lip479 could hydrolyse a wide range of 4-nitrophenyl esters (4-nitrophenyoctanoate, 4-nitrophenyldodecanoate, 4-nitrophenylpalmitate, 4-nitrophenylmyristate and 4-nitrophenylstearate), and maximum activity was observed with 4-nitrophenyldodecanoate. RK-lip479 was resistant to many organic solvents, especially isopropanol, DMSO, methanol, DMF, ethanol, dichloromethane, acetone, glycerol and ethyl acetate. RK-lip479 also showed activity in the presence of monovalent (Na+ and K+), divalent (Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Zn2+ and Ag2+ ) and trivalent cations (Fe3+ and Al3+). Yield of biodiesel production was in the range of 40-76% using various waste oils with RK-Lip479 under optimized conditions.

Abstract
Mature landfill leachate is a heavily-polluted wastewater due to its recalcitrant nature of organic matter, and high ammonia and salt content. Despite the moderate saline and alkaline nature of this habitat, no attention has been paid to the isolation and functional role of extremophiles in such environment. In this work, a total of 73 and 29 bacterial strains were isolated by using alkaline and saline media, respectively, while bacteria from mature landfill leachate growing in these media were enumerated as 1.5 ± 0.1 (×108) and 5.8 ± 0.9 (×108) cfu/L. Based on their pH and salt ranges and optima for growth, all bacterial isolates were halotolerant alkaliphiles (either facultative or obligate), with the majority of them being extremely halotolerant bacteria. These halotolerant alkaliphiles were classified into 14 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Of these, 12 are placed within known halophilic and alkaliphilic species of the genera Dietzia, Glycocaulis, Halomonas, Marinobacter, Piscibacillus and Rhodobacter, while the remaining OTUs represented two novel phylogenetic linkages among the families Cyclobacteriaceae and Rhodobacteraceae. Examination of their hydrolytic ability through the performance of lipase, protease and β-glucosidase assays using landfill leachate as the growth substrate revealed that all halotolerant alkaliphiles isolated exhibited extremely high lipolytic activities (up to 78,800 U g-1 protein), indicating a key involvement of extremophilic microbiota at the late landfill maturation stage. The wide extremely lipolytic halotolerant alkaliphilic community identified also makes mature landfill leachate an ideal microbial pool for the isolation of novel extremophiles of biotechnological interest.

Abstract
Lipases are industrial biocatalysts, which are involved in several novel reactions, occurring in aqueous medium as well as non-aqueous medium. Furthermore, they are well-known for their remarkable ability to carry out a wide variety of chemo-, regio- and enantio-selective transformations. Lipases have been gained attention worldwide by organic chemists due to their general ease of handling, broad substrate tolerance, high stability towards temperatures and solvents and convenient commercial availability. Most of the synthetic reactions on industrial scale are carried out in organic solvents because of the easy solubility of non-polar compounds. The effect of organic system on their stability and activity may determine the biocatalysis pace. Because of worldwide use of lipases, there is a need to understand the mechanisms behind the lipase-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents. The unique interfacial activation of lipases has always fascinated enzymologists and recently, biophysicists and crystallographers have made progress in understanding the structure-function relationships of these enzymes. The present review describes the advantages of lipase-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents and various effects of organic solvents on their activity.

Abstract
The versatile Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) has been widely used in biotechnological applications. However, there have not been feasibility reports on the transesterification of non-edible oils to produce biodiesel using the commercial CRL preparations, mixtures of isozymes. In the present study, four liquid recombinant CRL isozymes (CRL1-CRL4) were investigated to convert various non-edible oils into biodiesel. The results showed that recombinant CRL2 and CRL4 exhibited superior catalytic efficiencies for producing fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from Jatropha curcas seed oil. A maximum 95.3% FAME yield was achieved using CRL2 under the optimal conditions (50 wt% water, an initial 1 equivalent of methanol feeding, and an additional 0.5 equivalents of methanol feeding at 24h for a total reaction time of 48 h at 37 °C). We concluded that specific recombinant CRL isozymes could be excellent biocatalysts for the biodiesel production from low-cost crude Jatropha oil.

Abstract
In the last decade, attention to extreme environments has increased because of interests to isolate previously unknown extremophilic microorganisms in pure culture and to profile their metabolites. Microorganisms that live in extreme environments produce extremozymes and extremolytes that have the potential to be valuable resources for the development of a bio-based economy through their application to white, red, and grey biotechnologies. Here, we provide an overview of extremophile ecology, and we review the most recent applications of microbial extremophiles and the extremozymes and extremolytes they produce to biotechnology.

Lipolytic potential of Aspergillus japonicus LAB01: production, partial purification, and characterisation of an extracellular lipase. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:108913.

Abstract
Lipolytic potential of Aspergillus japonicus LAB01 was investigated by describing the catalytic properties and stability of a secreted extracellular lipase. Enzyme production was considered high under room temperature after 4 days using sunflower oil and a combination of casein with sodium nitrate. Lipase was partially purified by 3.9-fold, resulting in a 44.2% yield using ammonium sulphate precipitation (60%) quantified with Superose 12 HR gel filtration chromatography. The activity of the enzyme was maximised at pH 8.5, and the enzyme demonstrated stability under alkaline conditions. The optimum temperature was found to be 45°C, and the enzyme was stable for up to 100 minutes, with more than 80% of initial activity remaining after incubation at this temperature. Partially purified enzyme showed reasonable stability with triton X-100 and was activated in the presence of organic solvents (toluene, hexane, and methanol). Among the tested ions, only Cu2+, Ni2+, and Al3+ showed inhibitory effects. Substrate specificity of the lipase was higher for C14 among various p-nitrophenyl esters assayed. The KM and Vmax values of the purified enzyme for p-nitrophenyl palmitate were 0.13 mM and 12.58 umol/(L·min), respectively. These features render a novel biocatalyst for industrial applications.

Abstract
In this work, genome mining was used to identify esterase/lipase genes in the archaeon Pyrobaculum sp. 1860. A gene was cloned and functionally expressed in Escherichia coli as His-tagged protein. The recombinant enzyme (rP186_1588) was verified by western blotting and peptide mass fingerprinting. Biochemical characterization revealed that rP186_1588 exhibited optimum activity at pH 9.0 and 80 °C towards p-nitrophenyl acetate (K(m): 0.35 mM, k(cat): 11.65 s⁻¹). Interestingly, the purified rP186_1588 exhibited high thermostability retaining 70% relative activity after incubation at 90 °C for 6 h. Circular dichroism results indicated that rP186_1588 showed slight structure alteration from 60 to 90 °C. Structural modeling showed P186_1588 possessed a typical α/β hydrolase's fold with the catalytic triad consisting of Ser97, Asp147 and His172, and was further confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis. Comparative molecular simulations at different temperatures (300, 353, 373 and 473 K) revealed that its thermostability was associated with its conformational rigidity. The binding free energy analysis by MM-PBSA method revealed that the van der Waals interaction played a major role in p-NP ester binding for P186_1588. Our data provide insights into the molecular structures of this archaeal esterase, and may help to its further protein engineering for industrial applications.

Abstract
Halophilic enzymes have been manifested for their stability and catalytic abilities under harsh operational conditions. These have been documented to withstand denaturation in presence of high temperature, pH, presence of organic solvents and chaotropic agents. The present study aims at understanding the stability and activity of a halophilic Bacillus sp. EMB9 protease in organic solvents. The protease was uniquely stable in polar solvents. A clear correlation was evident between the protease function and conformational transitions, validated by CD and fluorescence spectral studies. The study affirms that preservation of protein structure, possibly due to charge screening of the protein surface by Ca(2+) and Na(+) ions provides stability against organic solvents and averts denaturation. Salt was also found to exert a protective effect on dialyzed protease against chaotropism of solvents. Presence of 1 % (w/v) NaCl restored the activity in the dialyzed protease and prevented denaturation in methanol, toluene and n-decane. The work will have further implication on discerning protein folding in saline as well as non-aqueous environments.
