The LC-MS analysis of the acetonitrile fraction confirmed the presence of surfactins Leu/Ile7 C15, Leu/Ile7 C14 and Leu/Ile7 C13 with [M+H]+ at m/z 1036.6895, 1022.6741 and 1008.6581, respectively. Various concentrations of the surfactin(s) (hereafter referred to as surfactin-15 F) were used to reduce the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis S61, which served as a model for studying antibiofilm activity on polystyrene surfaces. Incubation of Staphylococcus epidermidis S61 with 62.5 µg/ml of surfactin-15 F resulted in almost complete inhibition of biofilm formation (90.3 ± 3.33 %), and a significant reduction of cell viability (resazurin-based fluorescence was more than 200 times lower). The antiadhesive effect of surfactin-15 F was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Surfactin-15 F demonstrated an eradication effect against preformed biofilm, causing severe disruption of Staphylococcus epidermidis S61 biofilm structure and reducing viability. The results suggest that surfactins produced by endophytic bacteria could be an alternative to synthetic products. Surfactin-15 F, used in wound dressings, demonstrated an efficient treatment of the preformed Staphylococcus epidermidis S61 biofilm, and thus having a great potential in medical applications. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

PAL from Zea mays (ZmPAL2) exhibits a bi-function of direct deamination of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) or L-tyrosine(-L-Tyr) to form trans-cinnamic acid or p-coumaric acid. trans-Cinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid are mainly used in flavors and fragrances, food additives, pharmaceutical and other fields. Here, the Activity of ZmPAL2 toward L-Phe or L -Tyr was improved by using semi-rational and rational designs. The catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of mutant PT10 (V258I/I459V/Q484N) against L-Phe was 30.8 mu M-1 s-1, a 4.5-fold increase compared to the parent, and the catalytic efficiency of mutant PA1 (F135H/I459L) to L-tyrosine exhibited 8.6 mu M-1 s-1, which was 1.6-fold of the parent. The yield of trans-cinnamic acid in PT10 reached 30.75 g/L with a conversion rate of 98%. Meanwhile, PA1 converted L -Tyr to yield 3.12 g/L of p-coumaric acid with a conversion rate of 95%. Suggesting these two engineered ZmPAL2 to be valuable biocatalysts for the synthesis of trans-cinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid. In addition, MD simulations revealed that the underlying mechanisms of the increased catalytic efficiency of both mutant PT10 and PA1 are attributed to the substrate remaining stable within the pocket and closer to the catalytically active site. This also provides a new perspective on engineered PAL.

The authors thank Ingre-dion (Brazil) and Novozymes (Denmark) for kindly providing the corn fiber and the enzyme Cellic (R) CTec2, respectively. AB - The transition from an economic model based on resource extraction to a more sustainable and circular economy requires the development of innovative methods to unlock the potential of raw materials such as lignocellulosic biomasses. Corn fiber differs from more traditional lignocellulosic biomasses due to its high starch content, which provides additional carbohydrates for fermentation-based biomanufacturing processes. Due to its unique chemical composition, this study focused on the development of a tailor made enzymatic cocktail for corn fiber saccharification into monosaccharides. Three commercially available hydrolytic enzymes (Cellic (R) CTec2, Pentopan (R) Mono BG, and Termamyl (R) 300 L) were combined to hydrolyze the polysaccharide structure of the three main carbohydrate fractions of corn fiber (cellulose, hemicellulose and starch, respectively). Prior to saccharification, corn fiber was submitted to a mild hydrothermal pretreatment (30 min at 100 degrees C). Then, two experimental designs were used to render an enzymatic cocktail capable of providing efficient release of monosaccharides. Using 60 FPU/g DM of Cellic (R) CTec2 and 4.62 U/g DM of Termamyl (R) 300 L, without addition of Pentopan (R) Mono BG, resulted in the highest efficiencies for glucose and xylose release (66% and 30%, respectively). While higher enzyme dosages could enhance the saccharification efficiency, adding more enzymes would have a more pronounced effect on the overall process costs rather than in increasing the efficiency for monosaccharides release. The results revealed that the recalcitrance of corn fiber poses a problem for its full enzymatic degradation. This fact combined with the unique chemical composition of this material, justify the need for developing a tailor made enzymatic cocktail for its degradation. However, attention should also be given to the pretreatment step to reduce even more the recalcitrance of corn fiber and improve the performance of the tailored cocktail, as a consequence.

Currently, the degradation mechanisms of short-and medium-chain alkanes are commonly reported, while those of long-chain alkanes have received less attention. In this work, a putative long-chain ADH was screened from Acinetobacter venetianus RAG-1 via RNA-seq with n-octacosane (C28) as the sole carbon source. Conserved sequence analysis revealed that it is a group III (Fe-containing/activated) ADH, which is widespread in the genus Acinetobacter. The deletion of adhA led to a significant reduction in the degradation of C28. AdhA exhibited optimal oxidative activity at pH 8.0 and 50 degrees C with NAD+ as coenzyme, while showing better tolerability to chemical reagents. Enzyme activity assay showed that AdhA owed the oxidative activity to a wide range of substrates including alkyl alcohols (C1-C32) and some isomeric alcohols, such as isopropanol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol, and propanetriol, and could reduce the alkyl aldehyde (C1-C12). Meanwhile, the binding of AdhA to different alkyl alcohols was mediated by different amino acids. AdhA is an ADH with an extremely broad substrate utilization range and excellent biochemical characteristics. These results provided important insights in the subsequent investigation of long-chain alkane degradation and petroleum pollution bioremediation. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
