Considering the currently growing enzyme market for efficient and novel biocatalysts, data mining is a promising source for novel, as yet uncharacterised enzymes, especially from halophilic or halotolerant Bacillaceae, which offer great potential to meet industrial needs. Both halophilic bacteria Pontibacillus marinus DSM 16465ᵀ and Alkalibacillus haloalkaliphilus DSM 5271ᵀ and both halotolerant bacteria Metabacillus indicus DSM 16189 and Litchfieldia alkalitelluris DSM 16976ᵀ served as a source for the four new subtilisins SPPM, SPAH, SPMI and SPLA. The protease genes were cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis DB104. Purification to apparent homogeneity was achieved by ethanol precipitation, desalting and ion-exchange chromatography. Enzyme activity could be observed between pH 5.0-12.0 with an optimum for SPPM, SPMI and SPLA around pH 9.0 and for SPAH at pH 10.0. The optimal temperature for SPMI and SPLA was 70 °C and for SPPM and SPAH 55 °C and 50 °C, respectively. All proteases showed high stability towards 5\% (w/v) SDS and were active even at NaCl concentrations of 5 M. The four proteases demonstrate potential for future biotechnological applications.}, language = {en} } @article{AridaAlhaddadSchoening2011, author = {Arida, Hassan A. and Al-haddad, Ameera and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {New Solid-State Organic Membrane Based Lead-Selective Micro-Electrode}, series = {International Journal of Electrochemical Science. 6 (2011), H. 9}, journal = {International Journal of Electrochemical Science. 6 (2011), H. 9}, isbn = {1452-3981}, pages = {3858 -- 3867}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{KarschuckFilipovBollellaetal.2019, author = {Karschuck, T.

While some of the logic gates, particularly OR, AND, are easy to realize with biocatalytic reactions and have been reported in numerous publications, some other, like NXOR, are very challenging and have not been realized yet with enzyme reactions. The paper reports on a novel approach to mimicking the NXOR logic gate using the bell-shaped enzyme activity dependent on pH values. Shifting pH from the optimum value to the acidic or basic values by using acid or base inputs (meaning 1,0 and 0,1 inputs) inhibits the enzyme reaction, while keeping the optimum pH (assuming 0,0 and 1,1 input combinations) preserves a high enzyme activity. The challenging part of the present approach is the selection of an enzyme with a well-demonstrated bell-shape activity dependence on the pH value. While many enzymes can satisfy this condition, we selected pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase as this enzyme has the optimum pH center-located on the pH scale allowing the enzyme activity change by the acidic and basic pH shift from the optimum value corresponding to the highest activity. The present NXOR gate is added to the biomolecular "toolbox" as a new example of Boolean logic gates based on enzyme reactions.}, language = {en} } @article{HaegerProbstJaegeretal.2023, author = {Haeger, Gerrit and Probst, Johanna and Jaeger, Karl-Erich and Bongaerts, Johannes and Siegert, Petra}, title = {Novel aminoacylases from Streptomyces griseus DSM 40236 and their recombinant production in Streptomyces lividans}, series = {FEBS Open Bio}, volume = {13}, journal = {FEBS Open Bio}, number = {12}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken, NJ}, issn = {2211-5463}, doi = {10.1002/2211-5463.13723}, pages = {2224 -- 2238}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Amino acid-based surfactants are valuable compounds for cosmetic formulations. The chemical synthesis of acyl-amino acids is conventionally performed by the Schotten-Baumann reaction using fatty acyl chlorides, but aminoacylases have also been investigated for use in biocatalytic synthesis with free fatty acids. Aminoacylases and their properties are diverse; they belong to different peptidase families and show differences in substrate specificity and biocatalytic potential. Bacterial aminoacylases capable of synthesis have been isolated from Burkholderia, Mycolicibacterium, and Streptomyces. Although several proteases and peptidases from S. griseus have been described, no aminoacylases from this species have been identified yet. In this study, we investigated two novel enzymes produced by S. griseus DSM 40236ᵀ . We identified and cloned the respective genes and recombinantly expressed an α-aminoacylase (EC 3.5.1.14), designated SgAA, and an ε-lysine acylase (EC 3.5.1.17), designated SgELA, in S. lividans TK23. The purified aminoacylase SgAA was biochemically characterized, focusing on its hydrolytic activity to determine temperature- and pH optima and stabilities. The aminoacylase could hydrolyze various acetyl-amino acids at the Nα -position with a broad specificity regarding the sidechain. Substrates with longer acyl chains, like lauroyl-amino acids, were hydrolyzed to a lesser extent. Purified aminoacylase SgELA specific for the hydrolysis of Nε -acetyl-L-lysine was unstable and lost its enzymatic activity upon storage for a longer period but could initially be characterized. The pH optimum of SgELA was pH 8.0. While synthesis of acyl-amino acids was not observed with SgELA, SgAA catalyzed the synthesis of lauroyl-methionine.}, language = {en} } @article{WagnerMiyamotoSchoeningetal.2010, author = {Wagner, Torsten and Miyamoto, Ko-ichiro and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo}, title = {Novel combination of digital light processing (DLP) and light-addressable potentiometric sensors (LAPS) for flexible chemical imaging}, series = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, journal = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, isbn = {1877-7058}, pages = {520 -- 523}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{PoghossianBerndsenLuethetal.2001, author = {Poghossian, Arshak and Berndsen, Lars and L{\"u}th, Hans and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Novel concepts for flow-rate and flow-direction determination by means of pH-sensitive ISFETs}, series = {Proceedings of SPIE. 4560 (2001)}, journal = {Proceedings of SPIE. 4560 (2001)}, pages = {19 -- 27}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{SchoeningLueth2001, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and L{\"u}th, H.}, title = {Novel concepts for silicon-based biosensors}, series = {Physica Status Solidi (A) (2001)}, journal = {Physica Status Solidi (A) (2001)}, isbn = {0031-8965}, pages = {65 -- 77}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{SchoeningMalkocThustetal.2000, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Malkoc, {\"U}. and Thust, M. and Steffen, A. and Kordos, P. and L{\"u}th, H.}, title = {Novel electrochemical sensors with structured and porous semiconductor/insulator capacitors}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B. 65 (2000), H. 1-3}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B. 65 (2000), H. 1-3}, isbn = {0925-4005}, pages = {288 -- 290}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AridaKloockSchoening2006, author = {Arida, Hassan A. and Kloock, Joachim P. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Novel organic membrane-based thin-film microsensors for the determination of heavy metal cations}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:a96-opus-1545}, year = {2006}, abstract = {A first step towards the fabrication and electrochemical evaluation of thin-film microsensors based on organic PVC membranes for the determination of Hg(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions in solutions has been realised. The membrane-coating mixture used in the preparation of this new type of microsensors is incorporating PVC as supporting matrix, o-nitrophenyloctylether (o-NPOE) as solvent mediator and a recently synthesized Hg[dimethylglyoxime(phene)]2+ and Bis-(4-hydroxyacetophenone)-ethylenediamine as electroactive materials for Hg(II) and Cd(II), respectively. A set of three commercialised ionophores for Cd(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) has been also used for comparison. Thin-film microsensors based on these membranes showed a Nernstian response of slope (26-30 mV/dec.) for the respective tested cations. The potentiometric response characteristics (linear range, pH range, detection limit and response time) are comparable with those obtained by conventional membranes as well as coated wire electrodes prepared from the same membrane. The realisation of the new organic membrane-based thin-film microsensors overcomes the problem of an insufficient selectivity of solid-state-based thinfilm sensors.}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} }
