Abstract:
Botryosphaeria sp. is a ligninolytic fungus that produces laccase. It was previously established that veratryl alcohol (VA) strongly induced laccase production in this ascomyceteous. It is well known that surfactants such as Tween - 80 can increase the production of some fungal exo-enzymes. It has been reported that Tween-80 can also induce laccase production in basidiomycetes. In this work, the influence of Tweens 20, 40, 60 and 80 on the production of constitutive laccases (in the absence of VA) and inducible laccases (in the presence of VA) by Botryosphaeria sp. was evaluated, separately. Laccase activity was assayed using two putative laccase substrates: ABTS (PPO - I) and DMP (PPO - II). All of the Tweens examined increased the production of both constitutive and inducible laccase PPO - I, but did not affect the production of constitutive laccase PPO - II. Tweens 60 and 20 increased the production of inducible laccase PPO - II, while Tween 80 and 40 did not cause any effectKeywords:

Psychrophilic laccases catalyzing the bond formation in mild, environmentally friendly conditions are one of the biocatalysts at the focus of green chemistry. Screening of 41 cold-adapted strains of yeast and yeast-like fungi revealed a new laccase-producing strain, which was identified as Kabatiella bupleuri G3 IBMiP according to the morphological characteristics and analysis of sequences of the D1/D2 regions of 26S rDNA domain and the ITS1-5,8S-ITS2 region. The extracellular activity of laccase in reaction with 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) at the optimal pH 3.5 was 215 U/L after 15 days of growth in a medium with waste material and 126 U/L after 25 days of cultivation in a defined medium. Copper (II) ions (0.4 mM), Tween 80 (1.0 mM) and ascorbic acid (5.0 mM) increased the production of laccase. The optimum temperature for enzyme operation is in the range of 30-40 °C and retains over 60% of the maximum activity at 10 °C. New laccase shows high thermolability-half-life at 40 °C was only 60 min. Enzyme degradation of synthetic dyes was the highest for crystal violet, i.e., 48.6% after 1-h reaction with ABTS as a mediator. Outcomes of this study present the K. bupleuri laccase as a potential psychrozyme for environmental and industrial applications.

This study was performed to evaluate extensive electrochemical characteristics of 23 commercially available mediators for laccase. Electrochemical properties, interactions with laccases, and ability to degrade lignin were compared for selected mediators. Among them, NNDS has very similar electrochemical properties in terms of reversibility and redox potential (about 470 ㎷ vs. Ag/AgCl at pH=7) compared to ABTS which is a well-known mediator. Specific activity of purified laccase from Cerrena unicolor was determined by both 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenz-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 1-nitroso-2-naphthol -3,6-disulfonic acid (NNDS). The specific activity of the laccase was 23.2 units/㎎ with ABTS and 21.2 units/㎎ with NNDS. The electron exchange rate for NNDS with laccase was very similar to that for ABTS, which meant that NNDS had similar mediating capability to ABTS. Determining methanol concentration after reacting with laccase compared to lignin degradation capabilities of both ABTS and NNDS. ABTS or NNDS alone cannot degrade lignin, but in the presence of laccase enhanced the rate of lignin degradation. ABTS showed better activity in the beginning, and the reaction rate of NNDS with lignin was about a half of that of ABTS at 10 minute, but the final concentration of methanol produced in 1 hour was very similar each other. The reason for similar methanol concentration for both ABTS and NNDS can be interpreted as the initial activity of ABTS was better than that of NNDS, but ABTS would be inhibited laccase activity more during the incubation.

Although there are several kinds of methods for determining fungal laccase activity,none of them have been recognized to be acceptable. Laccase activities obtained from different researches were differently defined and were not comparable with others. Spectrophotometric assay methods for fungal laccase activities of different origins are summarized and analyzed. It is concluded that using ABTS as the substrate to determine laccase activity a reasonable and acceptable. A recommendation of a universal and uniform method for determining fungal laccase activities based on ABTS was recommended.

Spectrophotometric determination of laccase activity with ABTS acting as chromogen yields exceedingly low values whenever conducted in a water-organic mixed solvent. Nevertheless, there is firm evidence that laccase is able to oxidize substrates such as phenols and amines quantitatively in these mixed solvents. We show that the apparently small rate of ABTS oxidation by laccase in a mixed solvent, such as buffered water-dioxane 1:1, is not amenable to the denaturation of laccase but rather to the decreased stability of ABTS(.+). We propose HAA as a more reliable chromogen for the determination of laccase activity in mixed solvents.

Fungal laccases are well investigated enzymes with high potential in diverse applications like bleaching of waste waters and textiles, cellulose delignification, and organic synthesis. However, they are limited to acidic reaction conditions and require eukaryotic expression systems. This raises a demand for novel laccases without these constraints. We have taken advantage of the laccase engineering database LccED derived from genome mining to identify and clone the laccase Ssl1 from Streptomyces sviceus which can circumvent the limitations of fungal laccases. Ssl1 belongs to the family of small laccases that contains only few characterized enzymes. After removal of the twin-arginine signal peptide Ssl1 was readily expressed in E. coli. Ssl1 is a small laccase with 32.5 kDa, consists of only two cupredoxin-like domains, and forms trimers in solution. Ssl1 oxidizes 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and phenolic substrates like 2,6-dimethoxy phenol, guaiacol, and syringaldazine. The kcat value for ABTS oxidation was at least 20 times higher than for other substrates. The optimal pH for oxidation reactions is substrate dependent: for phenolic substrates the highest activities were detected at alkaline conditions (pH 9.0 for 2,6-dimethoxy phenol and guaiacol and pH 8.0 for syringaldazine), while the highest reaction rates with ABTS were observed at pH 4.0. Though originating from a mesophilic organism, Ssl demonstrates remarkable stability at elevated temperatures (T1/2,60°C = 88 min) and in a wide pH range (pH 5.0 to 11.0). Notably, the enzyme retained 80% residual activity after 5 days of incubation at pH 11. Detergents and organic co-solvents do not affect Ssl1 stability. The described robustness makes Ssl1 a potential candidate for industrial applications, preferably in processes that require alkaline reaction conditions.
