CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 352:141480. [PMID: 38401866 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Food waste is a lucrative source of complex nutrients, which can be transformed into a multitude of bioproducts by the aid of microbial cell factories. The current study emphasizes isolating Glucoamylase enzyme (GA) producing strains that can effectively break down mixed food waste (MW), which serves as a substrate for biomanufacturing. The screening procedure relied heavily on the growth of isolated fungi on starch agar media, to specifically identify the microbes with the highest starch hydrolysis potential. A strain displayed the highest GA activity of 2.9 ± 0.14 U/ml which was selected and identified as Aspergillus fumigatus via molecular methods of identification. Exposure of the A. fumigatus with 200 mM Ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) led to a 23.79% increase compared to the wild-type GA. The growth conditions like cultivation temperature or the number of spores in the inoculum were investigated. Further, maximum GA activity was exhibited at pH 5, 55 °C, and at 5 mM Ca2+ concentration. The GA showed thermostability, retaining activity even after long periods of exposure to temperatures as high as 95 °C. The improvement of hydrolysis of MW was achieved by Taguchi design where a maximum yield of 0.57 g g-1 glucose was obtained in the hydrolysate. This study puts forth the possibility that mixed food waste, despite containing spices and other microbial growth-inhibitory substances, can be efficiently hydrolyzed to release glucose units, by robust fungal cell factories. The glucose released can then be utilized as a carbon source for the production of value-added products.

Shi H, Zhang Y, Lin H, Yan Y, Wang R, Wu R, Wu J. Production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in pork backfat fermented by Mucor circinelloides. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:223. [PMID: 38376614 PMCID: PMC10879235 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13018-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Pork backfat (PB) contains excessive saturated fatty acids (SFAs), but lacks polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Excessive SFAs can be used as a substrate for the growth of certain microorganisms that convert them into PUFAs and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and the added value of PB can be enhanced. In this study, Mucor circinelloides CBS 277.49 and Lactiplantacillus plantarum CGMCC 24189 were co-cultured for conversion of PB into fermented pork backfat (FPB) with high level of PUFAs. Our results showed that the content of γ-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA) in the surface of FPB reached 9.04 ± 0.14 mg/g and 107.31 ± 5.16 mg/g for 7-day fermentation, respectively. To convert the internal SFAs of PB, ultrasound combined with papain was used to promote the penetrative growth of M. circinelloides into the internal PB, and the GLA level in the third layer of fat reached 2.58 ± 0.31 mg/g FPB. The internal growth of M. circinelloides in PB was promoted by adjusting the oxygen rate and ventilation rate through the wind velocity sensor. When the oxygen rate is 2 m/s and the ventilation rate is 18 m3/h, the GLA level in the third layer of fat reached 4.13 ± 1.01 mg/g FPB. To further improve the level of PUFAs in PB, FPB was produced by M. circinelloides at 18 °C. The GLA content on the surface of FPB reached 15.73 ± 1.13 mg/g FPB, and the GLA yield in the second and third layers of fat reached 8.68 ± 1.77 mg/g FPB and 6.13 ± 1.28 mg/g FPB, the LA yield in the second and third layers of fat reached 105.45 ± 5.01 mg/g FPB and 98.46 ± 4.14 mg/g FPB, respectively. These results suggested that excessive SFAs in PB can be converted into PUFAs and provided a new technique for improving PUFAs in FPB. KEY POINTS: • This article achieved the conversion of PUFAs in pork backfat by Mucor circinelloides CBS 277.49 and Lactiplantacillus plantarum CGMCC 24189. • This article solved the internal growth of M. circinelloides CBS277.49 in pork backfat by ultrasound combined with papain. • This article proposed an innovative of promoting the internal growth of M. circinelloides and increasing the PUFAs production by oxygen ventilation in pork backfat.

Abstract
The use of clay materials in dairy technology requires a multidisciplinary approach that allows correlating clay efficiency in the targeted application to its interactions with milk components. For profitability reasons, natural clays and clay minerals can be used as low-cost and harmless food-compatible materials for improving key processes such as fermentation and coagulation. Under chemical stability conditions, clay materials can act as adsorbents, since anionic clay minerals such as hydrotalcite already showed effectiveness in the continuous removal of lactic acid via in situ anion exchange during fermentation and ex situ regeneration by ozone. Raw and modified bentonites and smectites have also been used as adsorbents in aflatoxin retention and as acidic species in milk acidification and coagulation. Aflatoxins and organophilic milk components, particularly non-charged caseins around their isoelectric points, are expected to display high affinity towards high silica regions on the clay surface. Here, clay interactions with milk components are key factors that govern adsorption and surface physicochemical processes. Knowledge about these interactions and changes in clay behavior according to the pH and chemical composition of the liquid media and, more importantly, clay chemical stability is an essential requirement for understanding process improvements in dairy technology, both upstream and downstream of milk production. The present paper provides a comprehensive review with deep analysis and synthesis of the main findings of studies in this area. This may be greatly useful for mastering milk processing efficiency and envisaging new prospects in dairy technology.

Abstract
AbstractThe milk-clotting enzyme (MCE) is a crucial ingredient in cheese manufacture. Due to the limits of traditional MCE, finding viable substitute is a pressing issue. This study aims to isolate and identify a wild strain with high milk-clotting activity (MCA) and low proteolytic activity (PA) and optimize the fermentation conditions for MCE production. A strain of Bacillus velezensis DB219 with high MCA/PA value (9.2) was isolated from dairy soil (Wuchang, Heilongjiang, China) and identified through 16S rRNA from 40 strains. The optimal wheat bran, carbon, nitrogen, inoculum size, volume and initial pH were 60 g/L, soluble starch 12.5 g/L, corn steep liquor 3 g/L, 5%, 40 mL and 6.15, respectively for improving DB219 MCE production through single factor experiment. The wheat bran concentration, corn steep liquor concentration and volume were the most critical factor and their changed range was determined through Plackett–Burman design and the steepest ascent/descent experiments. The response surface analysis experiment of three factors and three levels was conducted by Box–Behnken design. The theoretical optimal fermentation conditions for DB219 MCE were as follows: wheat bran concentration 60.14 g/L, soluble starch 12.5 g/L, corn steep liquor 3 g/L, inoculum size 5%, volume 40.08 mL and initial pH 6.15. DB219 MCE achieved the maximal MCA (3164.84 SU/mL) that was 101.9% of the predicted value (3104.49 SU/mL) and 4.3-fold higher than the control.

Abstract
The current research was designed to reach extracellular protease production potential in different strains of Sordaria fimicola which were previously obtained from Dr. Lamb (Imperial College, London) from North Facing Slope and South Facing Slope of Evolution Canyon. After initial and secondary screening, two hyper-producers strains S2 and N6 were selected for submerged fermentation and cultural conditions including temperature, pH, incubation period, inoculum size, substrate concentration, and different carbon and nitrogen sources were optimized for enzyme production. S2 strain showed maximum protease production of 3.291 U/mL after 14 days of incubation at 30 °C with 7 pH, 1% substrate concentration and 1 mL inoculum, While N6 strain showed maximum protease production of 1.929 U/mL under fermentation optimized conditions. Another aim of the present research was to underpin the biodiversity of genetics and post-translational modifications (PTMs) of protease DPAP (peptidyl-aminopeptidase) in Sordaria fimicola. Five polymorphic sites were observed in amino acid sequence of S. fimicola strains with reference to Neurospora crassa. PTMs prediction from bioinformatics tools predicted 38 phosphorylation sites on serine residues for protease peptidyl-aminopeptidase in S1 strain of S. fimicola while 45 phosphorylation sites on serine in N7 strain and 47 serine phosphorylation modifications were predicted in N. crassa. Current research gave an insight that change in genetic makeup effected PTMs which ultimately affected the production of protease enzyme in different strains of same organism (S. fimicola). The production and molecular data of the research revealed that environmental stress has strong effects on the specific genes through mutations which may cause genetic diversity. S. fimicola is non- pathogenic fungus and has a short life cycle. This fungus can be chosen to produce protease enzyme on a commercial scale.

Abstract
The present work investigates for the first time the presence and isolation of the thermophilic fungi from hydrothermal spring situated at the locality of Guelma, in the Northeast of Algeria. The production of the thermostable proteases and the optimization of culture conditions under agro-wastes solid-state fermentation to achieve optimal production capacity were explored. A statistical experimental approach consisting of two designs was used to determine the optimum culture conditions and to attain the greatest enzyme production. Besides, different agricultural wastes were initially evaluated as a substrate, whereby wheat bran was selected for enzyme production by the isolate under solid-state conditions. The isolate thermophilic fungi were identified as Mycothermus thermophilus by sequencing the ITS region of the rDNA (NCBI Accession No: MK770356.1). Among the various screened variables: the temperature, the inoculum size, and the moisture were proved to have the most significant effects on protease activity. Employing two-level fractional Plackett-Burman and a Box-Behnken designs statistical approach helped in identifying optimum values of screened factors and their interactions. The analysis showed up 6.17-fold improvement in the production of proteases (~1187.03 U/mL) was achieved under the optimal conditions of moisture content 47%, inoculum 5 × 105 spores/g, and temperature at 42 °C. These significant findings highlight the importance of the statistical design in isolation of Mycothermus thermophilus species from a specific location as well as identifying the optimal culture conditions for maximum yield.

Abstract
Acid proteases represent an important group of enzymes, extensively used in food and beverage industries. There is an increased demand for acid proteases adapting to the industrial extreme environment, especially lower pH. Thus, this necessitates the search for a better acid protease from fungi that best performs in industrial conditions. The fungal isolates were isolated from grape and dairy farm soil using potato dextrose agar and further screened for protease production based on the hydrolysis of clear zone on skim milk agar. The potential fungi were then subjected to secondary screening under solid-state fermentation (SSF). After the secondary screening, the potential fungus was identified to the genus level by the macroscopic and microscopic methods. The growth conditions and media composition for the potential fungus were further optimized under SSF. The crude enzyme produced by the potential isolate was characterized after partial purification by acetone and ammonium sulfate precipitation. A total of 9 fungal isolates showed protease production in primary and secondary screening; however, one potential isolate (Z1BL1) was selected for further study based on its protease activity. The isolate was identified to the genus Aspergillus based on their morphological features. The maximum acid protease from the isolate Z1BL1 was obtained using fermentation media containing wheat bran as a solid substrate, 1 mL of 3.2 × 106 inoculum size, 50% moisture content, and pH 4.5 upon 120-h incubation at 30°C. The acetone-precipitated enzyme exhibited the maximum activity at 50°C and pH 5 with stability at pH 4–6 and temperature 40–60°C. Thus, the acid protease produced from Aspergillus showed suitable enzyme characteristics required in the industry and could be a candidate for application in the food industry after further purification.

Abstract
Extracellular protease production by a novel strain, Bacillus sp. EBTA6, has been optimized by using central composite design of response surface methodology and properties and industrial applications of crude enzyme have been investigated. Three independent variables (temperature, pH and yeast extract concentration) chosen in the experimental design were significant terms and reduced cubic model fit with the design at p < 0.0001 level. The recommended temperature, pH and yeast extract concentration were 30 °C, 8, and 15 g/L, respectively. Crude enzyme displayed activity over a wide pH and temperature ranges having the optimum at 50-60 °C and pH 8. It was quite stable at high pH values and at 50 °C. Amongst the metal ions (Mg+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, K2+, and Sn2+), Ca2+ enhanced the activity and the others either decreased or did not change it. The enzyme activity was reduced by phenyl-methyl-sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA). The results revealed that the protease was serine alkaline type. Tween 20 and Tween 80 did not inhibit the enzyme, however, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), reduced it by 39%. It completely removed blood stain in 20 min and coagulated milk in the presence of CaCl2.

Abstract
This study reports the optimization of milk-clotting protease production from Aspergillus oryzae DRDFS13 under solid-state fermentation (SSF) in both one-variable-at-a-time and response surface methodology (RSM). The production and optimization of milk-clotting protease obtained from Aspergillus oryzae DRDFS13 under solid-state fermentation (SSF) using different agro-industrial wastes as solid substrates were studied. The agro-industrial wastes used included wheat bran, rice bran, pea bran, and grass pea bran. The chemical composition of the best solid substrate was tested using standard methods. Others cultivation parameters were studied, and the results showed that the optimum fermentation medium composed of wheat bran, casein (1% w/w), and glucose (0.5% w/w) and the conditions for maximum milk-clotting protease production were at the moisture content of 55.0%, inoculum of 0.5*106 spores/mL, incubation temperature of 30 °C, pH of 6.0, and fermentation time of 5 days. The highest milk-clotting activity was obtained from the crude enzyme extracted using 0.1 M NaCl and partial purification of the crude enzyme using chilled acetone, and 80% (NH4)2SO4 increased the ratio of MCA/PA from 0.56 to 1.30 and 0.65, respectively. Moreover, the highest MCA (137.58 U/mL) was obtained at a casein concentration of 0.5%, pH 4.0, and 25 °C, using RSM. Thus, results from the present study showed that the optimization of milk-clotting protease production from A. oryzae DRDFS 13 under SSF by both one-variable-at-a-time and RSM significantly increased the milk-clotting activity. This is the first report from a fungus in the Ethiopian setting and a modest contribution to highlight the potential of harnessing microbial protease enzymes for industrial applications.

Abstract
Cheese production is projected to reach 20 million metric tons by 2020, of which 33% is being produced using calf rennet (EC 3.4.23.4). There is shortage of calf rennet, and use of plant and microbial rennets, hydrolyze milk proteins non-specifically resulting in low curd yields. This study reports fungal enzymes obtained from cost effective medium, with minimal down streaming, whose activity is comparable with calf and Mucor rennet. Of the fifteen fungi that were screened, Mucor thermohyalospora (MTCC 1384) and Rhizopus azygosporus (MTCC 10195) exhibited the highest milk-clotting activity (MCA) of 18,383 ± 486 U/ml and 16,373 ± 558 U/ml, respectively. Optimization exhibited a 33% increase in enzyme production (30 g wheat bran containing 6% defatted soy meal at 30 °C, pH 7) for M. thermohyalospora. The enzyme was active from pH 5-10 and temperature 45-55 °C. Rhizopus azygosporus exhibited 31% increase in enzyme production (30 g wheat bran containing 4% defatted soy meal at 30 °C, pH 6) and the enzyme was active from pH 6-9 at 50 °C. Curd yields prepared from fungal enzyme extract decreased (5-9%), when compared with calf rennet and Mucor rennet. This study describes the potential of fungal enzymes, hitherto unreported, as a viable alternative to calf rennet.

Abstract
The establishment of an efficient and feasible biorefinery model depends on, among other factors, particularly the selection of the most appropriate microorganism. Mucor circinelloides is a dimorphic fungus species able to produce a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes, lipids prone to biodiesel production, carotenoids, ethanol, and biomass with significant nutritional value. M. circinelloides also has been selected as a model species for genetic modification by being the first filamentous oleaginous species to have its genome fully characterized, as well as being a species characterized as a potential bioremediation agent. Considering the potential of replacing several nonrenewable feedstocks is widely dependent on fossil fuels, the exploitation of microbial processes and products is a desirable solution for promoting a green and sustainable future. Here, we introduce and thoroughly describe the recent and critical applications of this remarkable fungus within the context of developing a fungal-based biorefinery.

Abstract
Mucor circinelloides is a fungus that belongs to the order Mucorales. It grows as mold in the environment and can cause mucormycosis, a potentially fatal infection in immunocompromised patients. M. circinelloides is a biodiesel producer and serves as a model organism for studying several biological processes, such as light responses and RNA interference-mediated gene silencing. Over the past decade, the increasing number of molecular tools has also allowed us to manipulate the genome of this fungus. This article outlines the fundamental protocols for the in vitro growth, maintenance, and genetic manipulation of M. circinelloides in the laboratory. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Investigations were conducted on the production of Rennin enzyme from the fungi Rhizomucor miehei 3420 NRRL using Solid-State fermentation. Wheat bran was used as a substrate. The influence of moisture content, incubation temperature, and the initial pH of fermentation medium were studied. The protein content, milk clotting activity (MCA), specific activity, proteolytic activity (PA), and (MCA/PA) ratio of the extracted enzyme were calculated after 4 days of incubation to evaluate the quality of the enzyme. The results showed that the optimal conditions for production were as follows: incubation temperature of 40 °C, moisture content of 60%, and pH of (3). Under these conditions, a production process of Rennin enzyme was established, and the values of protein content, milk clotting activity, specific activity, proteolytic activity, and (MCA/PA) ratio reached to 4 mg/mL, 600 SU/mL, 150 SU/mg, 45 PU/mL, 13.3 respectively.

Abstract
We previously identified the microbiota present during cheese ripening and observed high protease and lipase activity in Divle Cave cheese. To determine the contribution of individual isolates to enzyme activities, we investigated a range of species representing this microbiota for their proteolytic and lipolytic ability. In total, 17 fungal, 5 yeast and 18 bacterial strains, previously isolated from Divle Cave cheese, were assessed. Qualitative protease and lipase activities were performed on skim-milk agar and spirit-blue lipase agar, respectively, and resulted in a selection of strains for quantitative assays. For the quantitative assays, the strains were grown on minimal medium containing irradiated Divle Cave cheese, obtained from the first day of ripening. Out of 16 selected filamentous fungi, Penicillium brevicompactum, Penicillium cavernicola and Penicillium olsonii showed the highest protease activity, while Mucor racemosus was the best lipase producer. Yarrowia lipolytica was the best performing yeast with respect to protease and lipase activity. From the 18 bacterial strains, 14 and 11 strains, respectively showed protease and lipase activity in agar plates. Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus stratosphericus, Brevibacterium antiquum, Psychrobacter glacincola and Pseudomonas proteolytica displayed the highest protease and lipase activity. The proteases of yeast and filamentous fungi were identified as mainly aspartic protease by specific inhibition with Pepstatin A, whereas inhibition by PMSF (phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) indicated that most bacterial enzymes belong to serine type protease. Our results demonstrate that aspartic proteases, which usually have high milk clotting activity, are predominantly derived from fungal strains, and therefore fungal enzymes appear to be more suitable for use in the cheese industry. Microbial enzymes studied in this research might be alternatives for rennin (chymosin) from animal source because of their low cost and stable availability. Future studies will aim to purify these enzymes to test their suitability for use in similar artisanal cheeses or in large scale commercial cheeses.

Abstract
Paenibacillus spp. BD3526, a bacterium exhibiting a protein hydrolysis circle surrounded with an obvious precipitation zone on skim milk agar, was isolated from raw yak (Bos grunniens) milk collected in Tibet, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA and whole genome sequence comparison indicated the isolate belong to the genus Paenibacillus. The strain BD3526 demonstrated strong ability to produce protease with milk clotting activity (MCA) in wheat bran broth. The protease with MCA was predominantly accumulated during the late-exponential phase of growth. The proteolytic activity (PA) of the BD3526 protease was 1.33-fold higher than that of the commercial R. miehei coagulant. A maximum MCA (6470 ± 281 SU mL−1) of the strain BD3526 was reached under optimal cultivation conditions. The protease with MCA was precipitated from the cultivated supernatant of wheat bran broth with ammonium sulfate and purified by anion-exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of the protease with MCA was determined as 35 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gelatin zymography. The cleavage site of the BD3526 protease with MCA in κ-casein was located at the Met106–Ala107 bond, as determined by mass spectrometry analysis.

Abstract
Microbial oil accumulated by fungal cells is a potential feedstock for biodiesel production, and lignocellulosic materials can serve as the carbon source to support the fungal growth. The dilute acid pretreatment of corn stover can effectively break down its lignin structure, and this process generates a hydrolysate containing mostly xylose at very dilute concentration and numerous by-products that may significantly inhibit the cell growth. This study utilized corn stover hydrolysate as the culture media for the growth of Mucor circinelloides. The results showed that Mucor cells formed pellets during the cell growth, which facilitates the cell harvest from dilute solution. The results also showed that the inhibitory effect of furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and acetic acid could be avoided if their concentration was low. In fact, all these by-products may be assimilated as carbon sources for the fungal growth. The results proved the feasibility to reuse the cultural broth water for acid pretreatment and then use for subsequent cell cultivation. The results will have a direct impact on the overall water usage of the process.

Abstract
Filamentous fungi belonging to the order of Mucorales are well known as producers of aspartic proteinases depicting milk-clotting activity. The biosynthesis level, the biochemical characteristics, and the technological properties of the resulting proteinases are affected by the producer strain and the mode of cultivation. While the milk-clotting enzymes produced by the Rhizomucor spp. have been extensively studied in the past, much less is known on the properties and potential applications of the aspartic proteinases obtained for Mucor spp. Indeed, several Mucor spp. strains have been reported as a potential source of milk-clotting enzymes having unique technological properties. Both submerged fermentation and solid substrate cultivation are proven alternatives for the production of Mucor spp. aspartic proteinases. This review provides an overview on the bioprocessing routes to obtain large amounts of these enzymes, on their structural characteristics as related to their functional properties, and on their industrial applications with focus on cheese manufacturing.
