Cellulose degradation Dotaz Zobrazit nápovědu
Today, numerous studies have focused on the design of novel scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications; however, several challenges still exist in terms of biocompatibility/cytocompatibility, degradability, cell attachment/proliferation, nutrient diffusion, large-scale production, and clinical translation studies. Greener and safer technologies can help to produce scaffolds with the benefits of cost-effectiveness, high biocompatibility, and biorenewability/sustainability, reducing their toxicity and possible side effects. However, some challenges persist regarding their degradability, purity, having enough porosity, and possible immunogenicity. In this context, naturally derived cellulose-based scaffolds with high biocompatibility, ease of production, availability, sustainability/renewability, and environmentally benign attributes can be applied for designing scaffolds. These cellulose-based scaffolds have shown unique mechanical properties, improved cell attachment/proliferation, multifunctionality, and enhanced biocompatibility/cytocompatibility, which make them promising candidates for tissue engineering applications. Herein, the salient developments pertaining to cellulose-based scaffolds for neural, bone, cardiovascular, and skin tissue engineering are deliberated, focusing on the challenges and opportunities.
In this research, influence of storage conditions on properties of oxidized cellulose was studied with respect to its haemostatic function. The aim was to examine changes of the properties of oxidized cellulose stored properly and that stored at laboratory conditions for 2 years. We studied surface morphology and chemical composition, as well as absorption of the simulated body fluid, behaviour in aqueous environment via potentiometric measurement of pH, and antimicrobial activity in vitro on the S. epidermidis bacteria. It was found out that the material properties of oxidized cellulose did not deteriorate. Higher absorption of simulated body fluid, lower pH in water and simulated body fluid represented positive changes with respect to the haemostatic function. Due to the acidic nature of the mate-rial, degraded oxidized cellulose preserved its antibacterial properties.

Magnetic bead cellulose was prepared by a suspension method from the mixture of viscose and magnetite using thermal sol-gel transition and regeneration of cellulose. The prepared magnetic particles after their activation with divinyl sulfone were shown to be suitable magnetic carrier for immobilization of α-chymotrypsin and for its application in proteomic studies. The specific activity of the immobilized proteinase was high; its activity did not change in the course of storage. The following properties of the immobilized proteinase were compared with those of the soluble enzyme: pH and temperature dependence of the activity, self-cleavage activity, and possibility of repeated use. α-Chymotrypsin immobilized to magnetic bead cellulose was used for the proteolytic digestion of porcine pepsin A and human gastric juice and a possibility of direct use of enzyme reaction products for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry analysis was shown.

Lignocellulosic materials are composed of three main structural polymers: hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. Cellulose is a long chain molecule of glucose requiring a small number of enzymes for degradation due to its simple structure while lignin is a complex polymer of phenylpropane making its biochemical decomposition difficult. Under anaerobic conditions, lignocellulose breakdown is much easier and more rapid than aerobic conditions. Various studies have been carried out to estimate the rate of degradation of lignocellulosic materials. Microorganisms play a key role in the degradation of lignocellulosic materials because they produce a variety of hydrolytic enzymes including cellulase, proteases, xylanases, lipases, laccase, and phosphatases during the degradation of lignocellulosic materials. Based on the body of literature, microorganismal activity can provide useful information about the process of organic matter decomposition.
Evidence shows that bacteria contribute actively to the decomposition of cellulose and hemicellulose in forest soil; however, their role in this process is still unclear. Here we performed the screening and identification of bacteria showing potential cellulolytic activity from litter and organic soil of a temperate oak forest. The genomes of three cellulolytic isolates previously described as abundant in this ecosystem were sequenced and their proteomes were characterized during the growth on plant biomass and on microcrystalline cellulose. Pedobacter and Mucilaginibacter showed complex enzymatic systems containing highly diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes for the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose, which were functionally redundant for endoglucanases, β-glucosidases, endoxylanases, β-xylosidases, mannosidases and carbohydrate-binding modules. Luteibacter did not express any glycosyl hydrolases traditionally recognized as cellulases. Instead, cellulose decomposition was likely performed by an expressed GH23 family protein containing a cellulose-binding domain. Interestingly, the presence of plant lignocellulose as well as crystalline cellulose both trigger the production of a wide set of hydrolytic proteins including cellulases, hemicellulases and other glycosyl hydrolases. Our findings highlight the extensive and unexplored structural diversity of enzymatic systems in cellulolytic soil bacteria and indicate the roles of multiple abundant bacterial taxa in the decomposition of cellulose and other plant polysaccharides.
