Abstract
- Laccase mediated bio-delignification has shown promising results for the removal of lignin from bio-wastes and for providing a sustainable future for using of lignocellulosic materials in different industries. This study reports an extracellular laccase from Lentinus tigrinus with delignification capability. The production of laccase was enhanced through a solid-state fermentation on the pistachio shell bio-waste to 172.0 U mg−1 (8.2-fold) by one-factor-at-a-time optimizing of fermentation conditions. Laccase was purified using a new synthetic affinity resin yielding a specific activity of 543.6 U mg−1 and a 23.9-fold purification. The purified laccase was then immobilized covalently on the large pore magnetic SBA-15. Compared to free enzyme, immobilized enzyme maintained more stable at pH 2.0–11.0 and 25–55 °C, and against organic solvents, surfactants, metal ions, and inhibitors. The activity of both forms of the enzyme was increased with Cu2+, Ca+2, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and ethyl acetate. A 0.72 V redox potential caused enzyme specificity to various substrates. 80% of lignin content of the bio-waste was removed by 50 U mL−1 of immobilized enzyme after 8 h fermentation and delignification efficiency was greatly increased by applying higher enzyme dosages, surfactants, and organic solvents. In addition, residual activity was more than 50% after 20 cycles of delignification. The results of delignification were confirmed by GC-MS, SEM, and composition analysis of pistachio shells. This study illustrated the notable promise of the enzyme for biotechnological and environmental applications. Image 1 • Lentinus tigrinus was isolated to produce laccase through SSF on pistachio shell. • Combined nutrients and conditions enhanced enzyme production to 172.0 U mg−1. • The high redox potential enzyme was purified with a new synthetic affinity resin. • The enzyme yielded 80% lignin degradation from the bio-waste within 8 h. • Delignification greatly increased with immobilized laccase in extreme conditions.
