Abstract
Membrane research in Portugal is aligned with global concerns and expectations for sustainable social development, thus progressively focusing on the use of natural resources and renewable energy. This review begins by addressing the pioneer work on membrane science and technology in Portugal by the research groups of Instituto Superior Técnico—Universidade de Lisboa (IST), NOVA School of Science and Technology—Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT NOVA) and Faculdade de Engenharia—Universidade do Porto (FEUP) aiming to provide an historical perspective on the topic. Then, an overview of the trends and challenges in membrane processes and materials, mostly in the last five years, involving Portuguese researchers, is presented as a contribution to a more sustainable water–energy–material–food nexus.

Abstract
In continuous flow biocatalysis, chemical transformations can occur under milder, greener, more scalable, and safer conditions than conventional organic synthesis. However, the method typically involves extensive screening to optimize each enzyme's immobilization on its solid support material. The task of weighing solids for large numbers of experiments poses a bottleneck for screening enzyme immobilization conditions. For example, screening conditions often require multiple replicates exploring different support chemistries, buffer compositions, and temperatures. Thus, we report 3D-printed labware designed to measure and handle solids in multichannel format and expedite screening of enzyme immobilization conditions. To demonstrate the generality of these advances, alkaline phosphatase, glucose dehydrogenase, and laccase were screened for immobilization efficiency on seven resins. The results illustrate the requirements for optimization of each enzyme's loading and resin choice for optimal catalytic performance. Here, 3D-printed labware can decrease the requirements for an experimentalist's time by >95%. The approach to rapid optimization of enzyme immobilization is applicable to any enzyme and many solid support resins. Furthermore, the reported devices deliver precise and accurate aliquots of essentially any granular solid material.

Abstract
Enzymatic membrane bioreactors (EMBRs) possess the characteristic of combining catalysis with separation, and therefore have promising application potentials. In order to achieve a high-performance EMBR, membrane property, as well as operating parameters, should give special cause for concerns. In this work, an EMBR based on hollow fiber polysulfone microfiltration membranes with radial gradient pore structure was fabricated and enzyme immobilization was achieved through pressure-driven filtration. Lipase from Candida rugosa was used for immobilization and EMBR performance was studied with the enzymatic hydrolysis of glycerol triacetate as a model reaction. The influences of membrane pore diameter, substrate feed direction as well as operational parameters of operation pressure, substrate concentration, and temperature on the EMBR activity were investigated with the production of hydrolysates kinetically fitted. The complete EMBR system showed the highest activity of 1.07 × 104 U⋅g−1. The results in this work indicate future efforts for improvement in EMBR.

Abstract
Hydrolytic enantioselective cleavage of different racemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ester derivatives has been studied. An engineered esterase form Bacillus subtilis (BS2m) significantly outperformed homologous enzymes from Halomonas elongata (HeE) and Bacillus coagulants (BCE) in the enantioselective hydrolysis of naproxen esters. Structural analysis of the three active sites highlighted key differences which explained the substrate preference. Immobilization of a chimeric BS2m-T4 lysozyme fusion (BS2mT4L1) was improved by resin screening achieving twice the recovered activity (22.1 ± 5 U/g) with respect to what had been previously reported, and was utilized in a packed bed reactor. Continuous hydrolysis of α-methyl benzene acetic acid butyl ester as a model substrate was easily achieved, albeit at low concentration (1 mM). However, the high degree of insolubility of the naproxen butyl ester resulted in a slurry which could not be efficiently bioconverted, despite the addition of co-solvents and lower substrate concentration (1 mM). Addition of Triton® X-100 to the substrate mix yielded 24% molar conversion and 80% e.e. at a 5 mM scale with 5 min residence time and sufficient retention of catalytic efficiency after 6 h of use.

Genetically Fused T4L Acts as a Shield in Covalent Enzyme Immobilisation Enhancing the Rescued Activity. Catalysts 2018.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilisation is a common strategy to increase enzymes resistance and reusability in a variety of excellent ‘green’ applications. However, the interaction with the solid support often leads to diminished specific activity, especially when non-specific covalent binding to the carrier takes place which affects the delicate architecture of the enzyme. Here we developed a broadly applicable strategy where the T4-lysozyme (T4L) is genetically fused at the N-terminus of different enzymes and used as inert protein spacer which directly attaches to the carrier preventing shape distortion of the catalyst. Halomonas elongata aminotransferase (HEWT), Bacillus subtilis engineered esterase (BS2m), and horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) were used as model enzymes to elucidate the benefits of the spacer. While HEWT and HLADH activity and expression were diminished by the fused T4L, both enzymes retained almost quantitative activity after immobilisation. In the case of BS2m, the protective effect of the T4L effectively was important and led to up to 10-fold improvement in the rescued activity.

Abstract
The purpose of this review work is to give an overview of the research reported on bioprocesses for the treatment of domestic or industrial wastewaters (WW) containing pharmaceuticals. Conventional WW treatment technologies are not efficient enough to completely remove all pharmaceuticals from water. Indeed, these compounds are becoming an actual public health problem, because they are more and more present in underground and even in potable waters. Different types of bioprocesses are described in this work: from classical activated sludge systems, which allow the depletion of pharmaceuticals by bio-degradation and adsorption, to enzymatic reactions, which are more focused on the treatment of WW containing a relatively high content of pharmaceuticals and less organic carbon pollution than classical WW. Different aspects concerning the advantages of membrane bioreactors for pharmaceuticals removal are discussed, as well as the more recent studies on enzymatic membrane reactors to the depletion of these recalcitrant compounds.

Abstract
The synthesis of a Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) attached via a new tyrosine-based linker matrix on monolithic crosslinked poly(vinyl benzyl chloride)/poly(vinylpyrrolidinone) is described. This matrix is incorporated inside a microstructured PASSflow reactor which was used for automatic purification and immobilisation of His(6)-tagged proteins. These could be used as stable and highly active biocatalysts for the synthesis of (R)-benzoin (6), (R)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylpropan-1-one (7) and 6-O-acetyl-D-glucal (17) in a flow-through mode.

Abstract
This work presents polysulfone membranes as new materials for the development of compact dehydrogenase-based biosensors. Composite films were prepared by mixing polysulfone with graphite and were deposited on epoxy-graphite composite electrodes. Redox mediators were successfully immobilized in the composite film leading to highly reproducible biosensors, without leakage of the immobilized species. This results in a more reliable analytical system as, at the same time, problems of electrode fouling related to the detection of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) on which is based the amperometric detection of dehydrogenase-based biosensors are avoided. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the morphological characteristics of the surface and the cross-section of the polysulfone-graphite composite films. Several procedures to immobilize enzymes in these membranes were demonstrated. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GlDH) was immobilized as an example of dehydrogenase enzyme, in this case for the development of an ammonium biosensor. High sensitivity, good selectivity, wide linear ranges and short response times were obtained for the optimized sensors and biosensors. Their good performance combined with the simplicity of the construction method, make the polysulfone-graphite composite films attractive matrices for the development of new enzyme-based biosensors, especially those based on dehydrogenase enzymes.

Abstract
A whole-cell technology for detoxification of organophosphates based on genetically engineered Escherichia coli cell expressing both cellulose-binding domain (CBD) and organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) onto cell surface was reported recently (Wang et al., 2002). This study reports the application of these biocatalysts when immobilized in a cellulose hollow fiber bioreactor (HFB) for the biodetoxification of a model organophosphate, paraoxon, in a continuous flow mode. In 24 h, 0.79 mg wet cell/cm2 fiber surface were immobilized onto cellulose fibers specifically and strongly through the cellulose binding domain, forming a monolayer demonstrated by Scanning Electronic Micrograph, and essentially no cell was washed away by washing buffer. The immobilized biocatalyst had a high performance of detoxifying paraoxon solution of 5,220 mumol/h x L reactor or 990 mumol/h x m2 reactor. The immobilized biocatalysts maintained a stable degradation capacity for 15 uses over a period of 48 days with only 10% decline in degradation efficiency under operating and storage conditions. In addition, the bioreactor was easily regenerated by washing with 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), with 86.7% immobilization capacity and 93.9% degradation efficiency recovery. This is the first report using the HFB in a non-traditional way, immobilizing whole-cell biocatalysts by specific adhesion thus rendering the catalysis operation the advantages of low pressure drop, low shear force, and low energy requirement. The successful application of this genetically engineered dual functional E. coli strain in a model bioreactor shows its promise in large-scale detoxification of organophosphate nerve agents in bulk liquid phase.

Abstract
Macroporous glass membranes were prepared from glass fiber filters via chemical crosslinking and modification, and used for the membrane affinity chromatography of fibronectin from human blood plasma. The filters were first treated with a piranha solution (a concentrated solution of H2SO4 + H2O2 in water), and then crosslinked with bifunctional organosilanes and modified to introduce amino or aniline moieties. Ligand immobilizations via diazotization and glutaraldehyde pathways were carried out and compared. Characterization of the membranes was performed using bovine serum albumin and trypsin as test ligands. By using a cartridge containing gelatin immobilized affinity membranes followed by another cartridge containing heparin immobilized membranes, fibronectin from human blood plasma could be separated.
