| Abstract: | Peroxidases are oxidoreductase enzymes with significant potential for the bioremediation of synthetic dyes from industrial wastewater. This study investigates the production, partial characterization, and dye degradation efficiency of peroxidase enzyme extracted from the leaves and callus cultures of Piper nigrum L. (black pepper), a locally abundant plant in Kerala, India. The enzyme was partially purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation (50–75%), dialysis, and ultrafiltration (10 kDa NMWCO), resulting in a specific activity of 235 U/mg. The partially purified peroxidase exhibited optimal activity at pH 4.5–7.0 and temperature range of 35–50°C, with good thermal stability at 35°C. For enhanced enzyme production, callus cultures were initiated from leaf and stem explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-D and BA. The optimal callus induction (green friable callus) was achieved with 2.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 1.5 mg/L BA. However, callus proliferation was accompanied by phenolic exudation and browning, which surprisingly showed tremendous peroxidase activity. Supplementation with 1% (w/v) polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) reduced browning but simultaneously suppressed enzyme activity. The crude enzyme extract was effectively employed for the degradation of crystal violet (gentian violet), a recalcitrant triarylmethane dye. Almost complete degradation was achieved at dye concentrations up to 7.5 mg/L under optimal conditions. Degradation was confirmed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry (λmax 585 nm), TLC, and HPLC analysis. The findings demonstrate that Piper nigrum leaf peroxidase is a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to commercial horseradish peroxidase for dye bioremediation. Furthermore, callus cultures showing phenolic-associated enzyme activity present a promising avenue for developing reusable immobilized biocatalyst systems for industrial wastewater treatment. |
