  • Novel Perspectives for Evolving Enzyme Cocktails for Lignocellulose
    Mohanram et al. Sustainable Chemical Processes 2013, 1:15 http://www.sustainablechemicalprocesses.com/content/1/1/15 REVIEW Open Access Novel perspectives for evolving enzyme cocktails for lignocellulose hydrolysis in biorefineries Saritha Mohanram, Dolamani Amat, Jairam Choudhary, Anju Arora* and Lata Nain Abstract The unstable and uncertain availability of petroleum sources as well as rising cost of fuels have shifted global efforts to utilize renewable resources for the production of greener energy and a replacement which can also meet the high energy demand of the world. Bioenergy routes suggest that atmospheric carbon can be cycled through biofuels in carefully designed systems for sustainability. Significant potential exists for bioconversion of biomass, the most abundant and also the most renewable biomaterial on our planet. However, the requirements of enzyme complexes which act synergistically to unlock and saccharify polysaccharides from the lignocellulose complex to fermentable sugars incur major costs in the overall process and present a great challenge. Currently available cellulase preparations are subject to tight induction and regulation systems and also suffer inhibition from various end products. Therefore, more potent and efficient enzyme preparations need to be developed for the enzymatic saccharification process to be more economical. Approaches like enzyme engineering, reconstitution of enzyme mixtures and bioprospecting for superior enzymes are gaining importance. The current scenario, however, also warrants the need for research and development of integrated biomass production and conversion systems. Keywords: Lignocellulose, Bioethanol, Cellulase, Hemicellulase, Bioprospecting, Enzymatic saccharification Introduction Investment into biofuels production capacity exceeded Increased public and scientific attention towards alterna- $4 billion worldwide in 2007 and is growing.

Academic Editor: David D. Boehr Received: 26 January 2017; Accepted: 10 March 2017; Published: 21 March 2017 Abstract: Thermomyces lanouginosa lipase has been used to develop improved methods for carrier- free immobilization, the Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates (CLEAs), for its application in detergent products. An activator step has been introduced to the CLEAs preparation process with the addition of Tween 80 as activator molecule, in order to obtain a higher number of the individual lipase molecules in the ”open lid” conformation prior to the cross-linking step. A terminator step has been introduced to quench the cross-linking reaction at an optimal time by treatment with an amine buffer in order to obtain smaller and more homogenous cross-linked particles. This improved immobilization method has been compared to a commercially available enzyme and has been shown to be made up of smaller and more homogenous particles with an average diameter of 1.85 ± 0.28 μm which are 129.7% more active than the free enzyme.

Box 17, Tizi-Ouzou 15000, Algeria Abstract The current paper reports on the production and characterization of extracellular thermostable proteases produced from thermophilic bacteria namely Aeribacillus pallidus VP3, Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis M1V, Virgibacillus natechei FarDT, and Melghiribacillus thermohalophilus Nari2AT strains isolated from different extremophlic biotopes in Tunisia and Algeria. The key challenge of the use of the different proteases in industrial applications is their efficiency under unconventional conditions. An optimization via one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) methodology has been used to obtain 3,000 U.mL-1; 4,600 U.mL-1; 15,800 U.mL-1; and 16,000 U.mL-1 of proteases activity from VP3, M1V, FarDT, and Nari2AT strains, respectively.

    EFFECT OF SELECTED ENZYMES ON PERFORMANCE OF LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENTS Anita Bocho-Janiszewska University of Technology and Humanities in Radom, Faculty of Materials Science and Design, Department of Chemistry, Corresponding address: Chrobrego Str. 27, 26-600 Radom, Poland, [email protected] Abstract : The article examines the effect of type of selected enzymes on the performance of liquid laundry detergents. Enzymes are the catalysts of biological processes. Like any other catalyst, an enzyme brings the reaction catalyzed to its equilibrium position more quickly than it would occur otherwise. The most widely used detergent enzymes are hydrolases, which remove soils consisting of proteins, lipids, and poly-saccharides. Soil and stain components with good water solubility are easily removed during the cleaning process. Most other stains are partially removed by the surfactant system of a detergent, although the result is often unsatisfactory. In most cases a suitable detergent enzyme aids the removal of soils and stains. Whereas the detergent components have a purely physicochemical action, enzymes act by degrading the dirt into smaller and more soluble fragments. In the research samples of liquid laundry detergent containing selected hydrolases (lipase, amylase and protease) were prepared. Tests of the performance of liquid laundry detergents: viscosity, foaming properties and washing properties were conducted. Studies were carried out at three differe nt temperatures: 20, 30 and 40° C. For the sake of comparison, the same tests were also performed for a commercially available product. The addition of the enzyme does not affect the viscosity and foaming ability of the liquid laundry detergent. The ability to remove stains by the liquids containing enzymes was high even at a lower temperature.
