Carbon Nanofiber Double Active Layer and Co-Incorporation as New Anode Modification Strategies for Power-Enhanced Microbial Fuel Cells. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:1542. [PMID: 35458291 PMCID: PMC9030816 DOI: 10.3390/polym14081542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Co-doped carbon nanofiber mats can be prepared by the addition of cobalt acetate to the polyacrylonitrile/DMF electrospun solution. Wastewater obtained from food industries was utilized as the anolyte as well as microorganisms as the source in single-chamber batch mode microbial fuel cells. The results indicated that the single Co-free carbon nanofiber mat was not a good anode in the used microbial fuel cells. However, the generated power can be distinctly enhanced by using double active layers of pristine carbon nanofiber mats or a single layer Co-doped carbon nanofiber mat as anodes. Typically, after 24 h batching time, the estimated generated power densities were 10, 92, and 121 mW/m2 for single, double active layers, and Co-doped carbon nanofiber anodes, respectively. For comparison, the performance of the cell was investigated using carbon cloth and carbon paper as anodes, the observed power densities were smaller than the introduced modified anodes at 58 and 62 mW/m2, respectively. Moreover, the COD removal and Columbic efficiency were calculated for the proposed anodes as well as the used commercial ones. The results further confirm the priority of using double active layer or metal-doped carbon nanofiber anodes over the commercial ones. Numerically, the calculated COD removals were 29.16 and 38.95% for carbon paper and carbon cloth while 40.53 and 45.79% COD removals were obtained with double active layer and Co-doped carbon nanofiber anodes, respectively. With a similar trend, the calculated Columbic efficiencies were 26, 42, 52, and 71% for the same sequence.

Abstract
Glucose isomerase (GI) is a key enzyme in the preparation of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). In this study, a mutant TEGI-M-L38 M/V137 L (TEGI-M2) of glucose isomerase (TEGI-M) originated from Thermoanaerobacter ethanalicus CCSD1 was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. The TEGI-M2 showed an optimal activity at 85 ℃ and pH 6.5 with the divalent cations Co2+ and Mg2+. The structural differences between TEGI-M and TEGI-M2 were investigated based on the homology modeling and molecular docking, to elucidate the mechanism of improvement in the enzymatic properties. Compared with the original enzyme, the TEGI-M2 showed a 2.0-fold increased enzyme activity and a decreased Km from 234.2 mM to 85.9 mM. Finally, the application of mutant TEGI-M2 in HFCS one-step biosynthesis was attempted, resulting in a d-fructose yield of 67.3 %, which was 14.3 % higher than that of TEGI-M. This improved catalytic performance of TEGI-M2 was of great importance for the industrial preparation of d-fructose in one-step process.

Abstract
To improve the operational stability of glucose isomerase in E. coli TEGI-W139F/V186T, the immobilized cells were prepared with modified diatomite as a carrier and 74.1% activity of free cells was recovered after immobilization. Results showed that the immobilized cells still retained 86.2% of the initial transformational activity after intermittent reused 40 cycles and the yield of D-fructose reached above 42% yield at 60 °C. Moreover, the immobilized cells were employed in the continuous production of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in a recirculating packed bed reactor for 603 h at a constant flow rate. It showed that the immobilized cells exhibited good operational stability and the yield of D-fructose retained above 42% within 603 h. The space-time yield of high fructose corn syrup reached 3.84 kg L-1 day-1. The investigation provided an efficient immobilization method for recombinant cells expressing glucose isomerase with higher stability, and the immobilized cells are a promising biocatalyst for HFCS production.

Abstract
Glucose isomerase (GI) that catalyzes the conversion of D-glucose to D-fructose is one of the most important industrial enzymes for the production of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). In this study, a novel GI (CbGI) was cloned from Caldicellulosiruptor bescii and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant CbGI (rCbGI) showed neutral and thermophilic properties. It had optimal activities at pH 7.0 and 80°C and retained stability at 85°C. In comparison with other reported GIs, rCbGI exhibited higher substrate affinity (Km = 42.61 mM) and greater conversion efficiency (up to 57.3% with 3M D-glucose as the substrate). The high catalytic efficiency and affinity of this CbGI is much valuable for the cost-effective production of HFCS.

Probing the role of helix α1 in the acid-tolerance and thermal stability of the Streptomyces sp. SK Glucose Isomerase by site-directed mutagenesis. J Biotechnol 2014; 173:1-6.

Abstract
In order to investigate the role of helix α1 in the different biochemical properties between class I and class II Glucose Isomerases, a histidine and a phenylalanine residue were inserted at position 17 and 19 of Streptomyces sp. SK Glucose Isomerase (SKGI). In addition, W16 was substituted by a histidine. The H17/F19 insertion displaced the optimal pH of SKGI from 6.5 to 7-8 and slightly decreased the thermostability. As for the W16H mutant, a shift in optimal pH of SKGI from 6.5 to 6 was observed along with a decrease in the enzyme thermostability at 85°C with a half-life time reduced twice compared to the wild-type enzyme. Three-dimensional structure analysis suggested that the insertion of a histidine at position 17 results in the formation of new hydrogen bond with D287, thereby preventing it from deprotonating the O2 hydroxyl of the sugar at low pH, while the substitution W16H induced opposite effect by preventing hydrogen bond formation between D287 and W16 and thereby probably facilitating the hydrogen transfer during the isomerization reaction. The findings highlight the essential role of helix α1, which bears the three introduced mutations, in the acid-tolerance and the thermostability of SKGI and of glucose isomerases in general.

Abstract
The role of residue 219 in the physicochemical properties of D-glucose isomerase from Streptomyces sp. SK strain (SKGI) was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis and structural studies. Mutants G219A, G219N, and G219F were generated and characterized. Comparative studies of their physicochemical properties with those of the wild-type enzyme highlighted that mutant G219A displayed increased specific activity and thermal stability compared to that of the wild-type enzyme, while for G219N and G219F, these properties were considerably decreased. A double mutant, SKGI F53L/G219A, displayed a higher optimal temperature and a higher catalytic efficiency than both the G219A mutant and the wild-type enzyme and showed a half-life time of about 150 min at 85 °C as compared to 50 min for wild-type SKGI. Crystal structures of SKGI wild-type and G219A enzymes were solved to 1.73 and 2.15 Å, respectively, and showed that the polypeptide chain folds into two structural domains. The larger domain consists of a (β/α)8 unit, and the smaller domain forms a loop of α helices. Detailed analyses of the three-dimensional structures highlighted minor but important changes in the active site region as compared to that of the wild-type enzyme leading to a displacement of both metal ions, and in particular that in site M2. The structural analyses moreover revealed how the substitution of G219 by an alanine plays a crucial role in improving the thermostability of the mutant enzyme.

Abstract
A codon-optimized 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) gene was newly synthesized and expressed in Escherichia coli to investigate its biochemical properties and applications in synthesis of statin intermediates. The expressed DERA was purified and characterized using 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate as the substrate. The specific activity of recombinant DERA was 1.8 U/mg. The optimum pH and temperature for DERA activity were pH 7.0 and 35 °C, respectively. The recombinant DERA was stable at pH 4.0-7.0 and at temperatures below 50 °C. The enzyme activity was inhibited by 1 mM of Ni(2+), Ba(2+) and Fe(2+). The apparent K (m) and V (max) values of purified enzyme for 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate were 0.038 mM and 2.9 μmol min(-1) mg(-1), for 2-deoxyribose were 0.033 mM and 2.59 μmol min(-1) mg(-1), respectively, which revealed that the enzyme had similar catalytic efficiency towards phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated substrates. To synthesize statin intermediates, the bioconversion process for production of (3R, 5S)-6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxyhexose from chloroacetaldehyde and acetaldehyde by the recombinant DERA was developed and a conversion of 94.4 % was achieved. This recombinant DERA could be a potential candidate for application in production of (3R, 5S)-6-chloro-2,4,6-trideoxyhexose.
