To increase the thermostability of Rhizomucor miehei lipase, the software Disulfide by Design was used to engineer a novel disulfide bond between residues 96 and 106, and the corresponding double cysteine mutants were constructed. The R. miehei lipase mutant could be expressed by Pichia pastoris in a free secreted form or could be displayed on the cell surface. The new disulfide bond spontaneously formed in the mutant R. miehei lipase. Thermostability was examined by measuring of hydrolysis activity using 4-nitrophenyl caprylate as a substrate. The engineered disulfide bond contributed to thermostability in the free form of the R. miehei lipase variant. The variant displayed on the yeast cell surface had significantly increased residual hydrolytic activity in aqueous solution after incubation at 60 degrees C for 5 h and increased synthetic activity in organic solvent at 60 degrees C. These results indicated that yeast surface display might improve the stability of R. miehei lipase, as well as amplifying the thermostability through the engineered disulfide bond.

This study investigates the intricate dynamics underlying lipase performance in organic solvents using comprehensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, supported by enzyme kinetics data. The study reveals that a single criterion can neither predict nor explain lipase activity in organic solvents, indicating the need for a comprehensive approach. Three lipases were included in this study: lipase B (CALB), lipase (RML), and lipase (TLL).

Herein, UiO-66 was selected as the immobilization carrier of Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML). After etching and hydrophobic modification, the functionalized UIO-66 (H-UIO-66-OPA) was utilized for RML immobilization and the obtained RML@H-UIO-66-OPA showed about 70 % relative activity after incubation at 60 °C, which was much better than RML (20 %). RML@H-UIO-66-OPA was used in the synthesis of 1,3-dioleic acid glycerol (1,3-DAG) and the effects of reaction conditions (temperature, enzyme addition, substrate molar ratio, and time) on 1,3-DAG yield were investigated.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying and verifying key aroma compounds in anhydrous milk fat (AMF) during a biocatalysis process using specific immobilized enzymes from two different fungi.
- Advanced analysis techniques like HS-SPME-GC-MS were used to identify 17 main odorants in AMF, with some showing significant flavor intensity through various tests.
- The research highlighted 12 key odorants that contribute to AMF’s aroma, giving insights into how enzymatic processes can alter the flavor profile of dairy products.
