Brown macroalgae are an attractive third-generation feedstock of natural products, in order to design green chemistry-compliant processes and reduce the use of organic solvents in bioactive product extraction, aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) was applied. This research aimed to develop a high-throughput screening (HTS) to recover polyphenols from Ascophyllum nodosum using ATPS. In total, 384 different 2-phase systems were assessed using an automated liquid-handling system to evaluate polyphenol recovery using a model system of phloroglucinol to establish an optimal 2-phase system for polyphenol partitioning. Various ratios of PEG:potassium phosphate solutions were explored to evaluate partitioning of polyphenols via a scale-down approach. Scale-down selected system showed a recovery of phloroglucinol of 62.9±12.0%, this system was used for scale-up trials. Scale-up studies confirmed that the HTS method was able to recover polyphenols with a 54.8±14.2% in the phloroglucinol model system. When the optimised ATPS system was tested with a polyphenol extract, 93.62±8.24% recovery was observed. When ATPS was applied to a fucoidan and alginate biorefinery residue, 88.40±4.59% polyphenol was recovered. These findings confirm that ATPS is a valuable addition to the bioprocess toolkit for sustainable extraction of natural products from macroalgae in a multiproduct biorefinery approach.

ABSTRACTThe three-dimensional (3D) culture of neural cells in extracellular matrix (ECM) gels holds promise for modeling neurodegenerative diseases and pre-clinical evaluation of novel therapeutics. However, most current strategies for fabricating 3D neural cell cultures are not well suited to automated production and analysis. Here, we present a facile, replicable, 3D cell culture system that is compatible with standard laboratory equipment and high-throughput workflows. This system uses aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) to confine small volumes (5 and 10 μl) of a commonly used ECM hydrogel (Matrigel) into thin, discrete layers, enabling highly-uniform production of 3D neural cell cultures in a 96-well plate format. These 3D neural cell cultures can be readily analyzed by epifluorescence microscopy and microplate reader. Our preliminary results show that many common polymers used in ATPSs interfere with Matrigel gelation and instead form fibrous precipitates. However, 0.5% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and 2.5% dextran 10 kDa (D10) were observed to retain Matrigel integrity and had minimal impact on cell viability. This novel system offers a promising yet accessible platform for high-throughput fabrication of 3D neural tissues using readily available and cost-effective materials.

AbstractAqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are universally recognized as an excellent alternative to the conventional separation techniques in the biotechnology, because of their undoubted advantages such as mild and biocompatible conditions, high water content, low interfacial tension, ease of process integration and scale up, etc. The formation of ATPS is due to the incompatibility of two polymers in a common solution. Other types of ATPS are formed by polymer/salt, ionic and/or non-ionic surfactants, inorganic salt/short-chain alcohols, and based on room temperature ionic liquids. ATPS are successfully used (even in large scale) for cells, enzyme and protein separation, while their application for recovery of small molecules such as organic acids, antibiotics, alcohols is more complicated as they are usually hydrophilic and tend to distribute evenly between the phases. The purpose of this paper is to overview and summarize the efforts made for the application of different types of ATPS for the separation of organic acids.

Bioseparations conducted in aqueous two-phase systems offer a great number of advantages over the conventional separation techniques. Among them the most relevant are rapid mass transfer due to low interfacial tension, rapid and selective separation, easiness of operation mode, reliability in scale-up biocompatibility and environment-friendly features, and possibility of process integration when applied in biomolecule production. Upon overcoming the major problem - mostly empirical establishment of operating conditions bioseparations in aqueous two-phase systems will become a necessary step in both existing and newly developed bioprocesses for the primary recovery of products.
