Laccase Immobilization on Magnetic Nanoparticles to Improve Stability and Its Potential Application in Bisphenol A Degradation
Overview
Affiliations
In the present study, laccase (Lac) was immobilized through covalent methods on the magnetic nanoparticles. FeO and FeO nanoparticles activated by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane followed with glutaraldehyde showed maximum immobilization yields and relative activity up to 81.4 and 84.3% at optimum incubation and pH of 18 h and 5.8, respectively. The maximum Lac loading of 156 mg/g of support was recorded on FeO nanoparticles. A higher optimum pH and temperature of 4.0 and 45 °C were noted for immobilized enzyme compared to values of 3.5 and 40 °C for free form, respectively. Immobilized Lac exhibited better relative activity profiles at various pH and temperature ranges. The immobilized enzyme showed up to 16-fold improvement in the thermal stability, when incubated at 60 °C, and retained up to 82.9% of residual activity after ten cycles of reuses. Immobilized Lac exhibited up to 1.9-fold higher bisphenol A degradation efficiency potential over free enzyme. Previous reports have demonstrated the immobilization of Lac on non-magnetic supports. This study has demonstrated that immobilization of Lac on magnetic nanoparticles is very efficient especially for achieving high loading, better pH and temperature profiles, and thermal- and solvents-stability, high reusability, and higher degradation of bisphenol A.
