Over the past few decades, enzyme-based green and sustainable chemistry has attracted extensive research attention, which provides a promising alternative to conventional treatment methods of recalcitrant micropollutants. However, enzyme denaturation stability loss remain critical challenges for its potential applications in industrial wastewater treatment. In this study, laccase from Trametes ...

The versatile oxidase enzyme laccase was immobilized on porous supports such as polymer membranes and cryogels with a view of using such biocatalysts in bioreactors aiming at the degradation of environmental pollutants in wastewater. Besides a large surface area for supporting the biocatalyst, the aforementioned porous systems also offer the possibility for simultaneous filtration applications ...

Enzyme-based biofuel cells (EBFCs) are systems that use a variety of organic compounds to produce electricity through oxido-reductase enzymes, such as oxidase or dehydrogenase as biocatalysts immobilized on electrodes. In this study, a single-chamber EBFC consisting of carbon electrodes that operating at ambient temperature in phosphate buffer, pH 7 is reported. The EBFC anode was based on gluc...

Extremophilic biocatalysts represent an enhanced solution in various industrial applications. Integrating enzymes with high catalytic potential at low temperatures into production schemes such as cold-pressed silymarin processing not only brings value to the recovery from biomass residues, but also improves its solubility properties for biocatalytic modification. Therefore, a cold-active lipase...

BACKGROUND The bacterium Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 is a promising whole-cell biocatalyst with exclusive anti-Prelog stereoselectivity for the reduction of prochiral ketones that can be used to make valuable chiral alcohols such as (R)-4-(trimethylsilyl)-3-butyn-2-ol. Although it has promising catalytic properties, its stability and reusability are relatively poor compared to other biocataly...

The occurrence of emerging contaminants, such as estrogens, in secondary and tertiary treated effluents sewage-impacted water bodies is one the major obstacles to implementation reuse. This review critically evaluates performance process enzymatic degradation its efficiency. data collected from peer-review literature show that enzymes have been extensively applied (in both free immobilized form...

Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) is one of the most attractive methods for enantioselective synthesis. In reported studies, lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) immobilized on siliceous mesoporous cellular foams (MCF) functionalized with different hydrophobic groups, and two ruthenium complexes substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands were investigated as catalysts chemoenzymatic DKR (rac)-1-phe...
