| Sumario: | Extremophilic biocatalysts represent an enhanced solution in various industrial applications. Integrating enzymes with high catalytic potential at low temperatures into production schemes such as cold-pressed silymarin processing not only brings value to the silymarin recovery from biomass residues, but also improves its solubility properties for biocatalytic modification. Therefore, a cold-active lipase-mediated biocatalytic system has been developed for silybin acylation with methyl fatty acid esters based on the extracellular protein fractions produced by the psychrophilic bacterial strain <i>Psychrobacter SC65A.3</i> isolated from Scarisoara Ice Cave (Romania). The extracellular production of the lipase fraction was enhanced by 1% olive-oil-enriched culture media. Through multiple immobilization approaches of the cold-active putative lipases (using carbodiimide, aldehyde-hydrazine, or glutaraldehyde coupling), bio-composites (S1–5) with similar or even higher catalytic activity under cold-active conditions (25 °C) have been synthesized by covalent attachment to nano-/micro-sized magnetic or polymeric resin beads. Characterization methods (e.g., FTIR DRIFT, SEM, enzyme activity) strengthen the biocatalysts’ settlement and potential. Thus, the developed immobilized biocatalysts exhibited between 80 and 128% recovery of the catalytic activity for protein loading in the range 90–99% and this led to an immobilization yield up to 89%. The biocatalytic acylation performance reached a maximum of 67% silybin conversion with methyl decanoate acylating agent and nano-support immobilized lipase biocatalyst. |
