Problems solved by technology

[0004] Previous studies have shown that dye decolorization peroxidases (DyPs) can oxidatively degrade PS preoxidized by UV, but there are still problems such as incomplete UV preoxidation and poor enzyme accessibility caused by insoluble substrates. It can oxidize on the surface of the material, and there is almost no oxidation inside the PS plastic, so the degree of UV pre-oxidation of the PS plastic is low, and the biodegradation of the PS plastic mediated by DyPs can only be limited to the surface of the pre-oxidized material. The degree of degradation of PS by DyPs is very limited

Embodiment 1

[0064] Example 1 Preparation of dye decolorizing peroxidase AnaPX enzyme solution

[0065] The recombinant expression method of the dye decolorizing peroxidase AnaPX is as follows:

[0066] The AnaPX encoding gene (as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2) was connected to the pET-24a(+) vector, and then transferred to the E.coliBL21(DE3) expression host to obtain the recombinant expression strain E.coli BL21(DE3) / pET-24a (+)-AnaPX. The above recombinant expression strains were inoculated into LB medium containing kanamycin resistance, cultured at 200 rpm and 37°C for 10 h; then inoculated into TB liquid containing kanamycin resistance at a ratio of 5% (v / v) medium, cultured at 37°C, when the OD 600 When reaching 0.6, isopropyl-1-thio-β-d-galacturonic acid and 5-aminolevulinic acid were added to a final concentration of 0.4 mM, and then cultured at 30° C. for 24 h. The obtained fermentation broth was centrifuged at 8000 rpm and 4 °C for 20 min, the supernatant was removed, the cells were c...

[0071] Example 2: Oxidative pretreatment of low molecular weight polystyrene powder with potassium permanganate and concentrated sulfuric acid

[0072] Weigh 1g PS powder (M w 35000) and 1g potassium permanganate into a 100mL conical flask, first add 10mL ethyl acetate and stir to dissolve PS powder, then add 10mL deionized water to dissolve potassium permanganate, then add 5mL concentrated sulfuric acid, at 55 ℃ Catalyze for 12h, ventilate and volatilize overnight, remove the liquid part by filtration, then rinse with water several times to remove the residual oxidant, and finally place the sample in an oven to dry to constant weight, which is the obtained sample.

[0073] Detect the infrared spectrum of polystyrene (PS) pre-oxidized by potassium permanganate / concentrated sulfuric acid ( figure 1 ), after dissolving in ethyl acetate, potassium permanganate and concentrated sulfuric acid can oxidize polystyrene to a certain extent, and at 1700 cm -1 Oxygen-containing functio...

[0074] Example 3: Enzymatic degradation of potassium permanganate / concentrated sulfuric acid pre-oxidized polystyrene by dye decolorization peroxidase in aqueous system

[0075] The polystyrene (PS) after oxidative pretreatment in Example 2 was subjected to enzymatic degradation in the aqueous system, and the AnaPX enzyme solution prepared in Example 1 was adjusted to the optimum pH 3.0 with glycine-hydrochloric acid buffer (100 mM, pH 2.0), and said Take 20mg of chemically pre-oxidized PS powder and add it to 100mL, the enzyme activity is 3.0×10 4 U / L AnaPX enzyme solution (150U AnaPX酶 / mg 聚苯乙烯 ), then add 1 mL of 10 mM H 2 O 2 , at 25°C and 200rpm for 48h. After the reaction, the enzymatic hydrolysis solution of the aqueous phase system was filtered to retain the polystyrene degradation products, first washed with SDS, rinsed with deionized water, then washed with 75% ethanol, and rinsed with deionized water in an oven. After drying in medium, the product was subjected ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a polystyrene pretreatment and enzymatic degradation method, and belongs to the technical field of enzyme engineering. The invention provides a new application of dye decolorizing peroxidase AnaPX derived from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 in degradation of polystyrene, and establishes a degradation method aiming at polystyrene with different molecular weights, pre-oxidation is performed by using a chemical oxidizing agent, enzyme degradation is performed on the polystyrene subjected to chemical pre-oxidation by using a two-phase system, and the degradation efficiency of the polystyrene is improved. The state of the degraded polystyrene product is obviously changed, the characteristic peaks of functional groups such as-OH, C = O, C-O and substituted benzene are obviously enhanced, and the weight-average molecular weight is obviously reduced. The pre-oxidation method and the two-phase system enzymatic degradation method provided by the invention have excellent application prospects in biodegradation of polystyrene plastic products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for polystyrene pretreatment and enzyme degradation, and belongs to the technical field of enzyme engineering. Background technique [0002] Polystyrene (PS) is a light-weight, heat-resistant plastic that is inexpensive to produce. So far, Styrofoam has been sold for free in shops, stalls and even supermarkets. It is widely used in the catering industry, the electronics industry, the pharmaceutical field, etc., accounting for about 6.6% of the total plastic use. Because PS plastics have the characteristics of high molecular weight, strong hydrophobicity, complex structure and lack of groups that can be attacked by enzymes, PS degrades very slowly in natural ecosystems and takes thousands of years to fully degrade. [0003] Existing plastic waste disposal methods mainly include landfill, incineration and recycling. Since PS can exist in soil for thousands of years without any significant degradation, landfill has litt...
