γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has essential physiological functions in the human body. A novel method using glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) entrapped in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-sodium alginate (SA) capsules provides a green biological strategy for GABA synthesis. In this investigation, the stability range of immobilized GAD was effectively broadened, and immobilized GAD could be repeatedly used as a batch and fixed-bed column catalyst. The immobilized enzymes were stable and retained 89% of their activity in a pH range of 4.0-5.6, while there was an approximately 50% decrease in free GAD activity in the pH range of 4.8 ± 0.4. The immobilized GAD affinity to the substrate improved, and this was evidenced by the apparent decrease in to 13.3 mmol/L from the 30.9 mmol/L for free GAD. The immobilized GAD retained >90.6% activity after eight cycles and a near-100% enzyme activity retention after 120 h of a continuous fixed-bed column catalyst operation. This study has thus presented an effective PVA-SA-GAD immobilization method that could be used to continuously scale-up GABA biosynthesis.

This study harnesses glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) from Yarrowia lipolytica to improve the biosynthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), focusing on boosting the enzyme's catalytic efficiency and stability by immobilizing it on nanofibrous membranes. Through recombinant DNA techniques, two GAD genes, YlGAD1 and YlGAD2, were cloned from Yarrowia lipolytica and then expressed in Escherichia coli. Compared to their soluble forms, the immobilized enzymes exhibited significant improvements in thermal and pH stability and increased resistance to chemical denaturants.

In this study, a variety of probiotic strains, including Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lacticaseibacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Limosilactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum, were utilized for soymilk fermentation both as free cells and as synbiotics on agro-industrial residuals such as okara, whey protein, banana peels, apple pomace, sugarcane bagasse, orange peels, and lemon peels. Among these, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus emerged as the most significant strain for soymilk fermentation, exhibiting a viability of 10.

The omnipresence of microplastics (MPs) in potable water has become a major concern due to their potential disruptive effect on human health. Therefore, the effective removal of MPs in drinking water is essential for life preservation. In this study, tap water containing microplastic <10 μm in size was treated using constructed pilot-scale rapid sand filtration (RSF) system to investigate the removal efficiency and the mechanisms involved.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an vital neurotransmitter, and the reaction to obtain GABA through biocatalysis requires coenzymes, which are therefore limited in the production of GABA. In this study, polyacrylamide hydrogels doped with chitosan and waste toner were synthesized for glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and coenzyme co-immobilization to realize the production of GABA and the recovery of coenzymes. Enzymatic properties of immobilized GAD were discussed.
