Quorum sensing refers to the ability of bacteria and other single-celled organisms to respond to changes in cell density or number with population-wide changes in behaviour. Here, simulations were performed to investigate quorum sensing in groups of diffusively coupled enzyme microparticles using a well-characterized autocatalytic reaction which raises the pH of the medium: hydrolysis of urea by urease. The enzyme urease is found in both plants and microorganisms, and has been widely exploited in engineering processes. We demonstrate how increases in group size can be used to achieve a sigmoidal switch in pH at high enzyme loading, oscillations in pH at intermediate enzyme loading and a bistable, hysteretic switch at low enzyme loading. Thus, quorum sensing can be exploited to obtain different types of response in the same system, depending on the enzyme concentration. The implications for microorganisms in colonies are discussed, and the results could help in the design of synthetic quorum sensing for biotechnology applications such as drug delivery.

We propose a new strategy for the preparation of a hybrid catalyst based on the TS-1 zeolite and on glucose oxidase. The design allows to combine all the features of the zeolite with a high enzyme loading. The method is based on the aerosol-assisted self-assembly of TS-1 nanocrystals to form hollow mesoporous zeolite microspheres with tailored texture and good epoxidation activity in water. The latter spheres were subsequently loaded with various amounts of enzymes which were then cross-linked to secure their entrapment. Thus, the hollow spheres were used both as catalysts and as vessels for the enzyme. The chemo-enzymatic formation of epoxides by tandem catalysis is demonstrated.

In this study, a novel type of multi-armed polymer (poyltehylene glycol, PEG) magnetic graphene oxide (GO) composite (GO@Fe3O4@6arm-PEG-NH2) has been synthesized as a support for immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for the first time. The loading amount of HRP was relatively high (186.34 mg/g) due to the surface of carrier material containing a large amount of amino groups from 6arm-PEG-NH2, but degradation rate of phenols was also much higher (95.4 %), which is attributed to the synergistic effect between the free HRP (45.4 %) and the support material of GO@Fe3O4@6arm-PEG-NH2 (13.6 %). Compared with the free enzyme, thermal, storage and operational stability of the immobilized HRP improved. The immobilized HRP still retained over 68.1 % activity after being reused 8 times. These results suggest that the multi-armed magnetic composite has good application prospect for enzyme immobilization.

Enzymatic hydrolysis constitutes an attractive process configuration for ethanol production from biomass. However, the high enzyme addition contributes to a high process cost. This study shows that appropriate concentration of Gleditsia saponin could reduce the enzyme loading and increase β-glucosidase active. The optimal conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis process of furfural residues was at enzyme loading of 6 FPU cellulose/g substrate and 9 IU β-glucosidase/g substrate with 0.6 g/l of Gleditsia saponin. The enzyme loading could be reduced by 50% with addition of 0.64 g/l Gleditsia saponin during furfural residues hydrolysis. The β-glucosidase activity from hydrolysate with 0.64 g/l Gleditsia saponin was higher than that without any surfactants.
