Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6A Novel Enzymatic Delamination Method for Sustainable Recycling of Crystal Silicon Photovoltaic (c-Si Pv) Modules(Elsevier, 2025) Karagoz, Sadik Can; Gundogdu, Tugba Keskin; Sarialtin, Huseyin; Celiktas, Melih SonerDue to the growing effects of global warming, there has been a surge in the demand for renewable energy sources. In particular, the most important player in this increase is the installation of photovoltaic (PV) modules. At this critical stage, it has become a priority to identify strategic approaches for the recycling of end-of-life PV panels with a strong focus on environmental protection. This study examined the impact of enzymatic delamination on the separation of the EVA (Ethylne Viniyl Aceate Co polymer) layer, a crucial stage in the recycling process of PV panels. Notably, this investigation is the first of its kind in the existing literature. To investigate this, delamination effects of lipase, laccase, and lecitase enzymes were analyzed according to experimental design methods. Furthermore, sunflower oil was employed for the first time in the existing body of literature to facilitate delamination, resulting in a delamination rate of 100 %. The environmental impacts of these biotechnological techniques, which serve as alternatives to the commonly used toluene, were also comparatively assessed by life cycle assessment (LCA) method to analyze the environmental impact. LCA methodology was performed from gate to gate and the Recipe impact methodology was used. Oil assisted enzymatic delamination method was shown to be an alternative from environmental point of view to solvent based method such as toluene.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Solid-Binding Peptide-Guided Spatially Directed Immobilization of Kinetically Matched Enzyme Cascades in Membrane Nanoreactors(American Chemical Society, 2021) Yücesoy, Deniz Tanıl; Akkineni, Susrut; Tamerler, Candan; Hinds, Bruce J.; Sarıkaya, MehmetBiocatalysis is a useful strategy for sustainable green synthesis of fine chemicals due to its high catalytic rate, reaction specificity, and operation under ambient conditions. Addressable immobilization of enzymes onto solid supports for one-pot multistep biocatalysis, however, remains a major challenge. In natural pathways, enzymes are spatially coupled to prevent side reactions, eradicate inhibitory products, and channel metabolites sequentially from one enzyme to another. Construction of a modular immobilization platform enabling spatially directed assembly of multiple biocatalysts would, therefore, not only allow the development of high-efficiency bioreactors but also provide novel synthetic routes for chemical synthesis. In this study, we developed a modular cascade flow reactor using a generalizable solid-binding peptide-directed immobilization strategy that allows selective immobilization of fusion enzymes on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) monoliths with high positional precision. Here, the lactate dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase enzymes were fused with substrate-specific peptides to facilitate their self-immobilization through the membrane channels in cascade geometry. Using this cascade model, two-step biocatalytic production of l-lactate is demonstrated with concomitant regeneration of soluble nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Both fusion enzymes retained their catalytic activity upon immobilization, suggesting their optimal display on the support surface. The 85% cascading reaction efficiency was achieved at a flow rate that kinetically matches the residence time of the slowest enzyme. In addition, 84% of initial catalytic activity was preserved after 10 days of continuous operation at room temperature. The peptide-directed modular approach described herein is a highly effective strategy to control surface orientation, spatial localization, and loading of multiple enzymes on solid supports. The implications of this work provide insight for the single-step construction of high-power cascadic devices by enabling co-expression, purification, and immobilization of a variety of engineered fusion enzymes on patterned surfaces. © 2021 The Authors.

The recovery and specific activity of the enzyme after partial purification varied between 45% and 72% and 2173 and 3448 U/mg, whereas the activity of the lyophilized enzyme varied between 2900 and 3351 U/mg. The partially purified enzyme was very stable and lost almost no activity in lyophilized form or in zein films stored at -18 and 4°C for up to 8 and 4 months, respectively. During partial purification and in zein film preparation, ethanol treatment caused 123-137% and 132-315% activation of the enzyme, respectively. In zein films incorporated with 187-1318 U/cm2 (63-455 μg/cm2) lysozyme, the release rates at 4°C, changed between 7 and 29 U/cm2/min, increased at high lysozyme concentrations. Zein films incorporated with partially purified lysozyme showed antimicrobial effect on Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum. By the addition of disodium EDTA, the films also became effective on Escherichia coli. The results of this study showed that the partially purified lysozyme may be used in antimicrobial packaging to increase food safety.
