Summary The green alga Scenedesmus obliquus was immobilized in Ca-alginate beads. The cell growth after immobilization was studied by cell counting. The nitrite uptake was not affected by immobilization, except that a longer lag phase was observed in immobilized cells than in free ones. That result could be due to a barrier effect of the matrix against nitrite diffusion inside the beads. The treatment of cells by glycerol prior to their immobilization in a batch reactor induced an increase of nitrite uptake by the cells. This effect disappeared after a few runs. The glycerol effect on specific rates seemed also to decrease when the number of immobilized cells increased. This decrease can be related to the decrease of light efficiency as well as substrate accessibility when a high cell concentration was used. Several alternating runs of Tris-HCl buffer containing nitrite growth medium depleted in combined nitrogen were tested. Cellular growth occurred inside the beads up to a maximum followed by a decrease of cell number in the beads. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The bacterium Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 is a promising whole-cell biocatalyst with exclusive anti-Prelog stereoselectivity for the reduction of prochiral ketones that can be used to make valuable chiral alcohols such as (R)-4-(trimethylsilyl)-3-butyn-2-ol. Although it has promising catalytic properties, its stability and reusability are relatively poor compared to other biocatalysts. Hence, we explored various materials for immobilizing the active cells, in order to improve the operational stability of biocatalyst. RESULTS: It was found that Ca-alginate give the best immobilized biocatalyst, which was then coated with chitosan to further improve its mechanical strength and swelling-resistance properties. Conditions were optimized for formation of reusable immobilized beads which can be used for repeated batch asymmetric reduction of 4[prime]-chloroacetophenone. The optimized immobilized biocatalyst was very promising, with a specific activity of 85% that of the free-cell biocatalyst (34.66 mumol/min/g dw of cells for immobilized catalyst vs 40.54 mumol/min/g for free cells in the asymmetric reduction of 4[prime]-chloroacetophenone). The immobilized cells showed better thermal stability, pH stability, solvent tolerance and storability compared with free cells. After 25 cycles reaction, the immobilized beads still retained >50% catalytic activity, which was 3.5 times higher than degree of retention of activity by free cells reused in a similar way. The cells could be recultured in the beads to regain full activity and perform a further 25 cycles of the reduction reaction. The external mass transfer resistances were negligible as deduced from Damkohler modulus Da < <1, and internal mass transfer restriction affected the reduction action but was not the principal rate-controlling step according to effectiveness factors eta < 1 and Thiele modulus 0.3<[empty set] <1. CONCLUSIONS: Ca-alginate coated with chitosan is a highly effective material for immobilization of Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 cells for repeated use in the asymmetric reduction of ketones. Only a small cost in terms of the slightly lower catalytic activity compared to free cells could give highly practicable immobilized biocatalyst. 相似文献

Aims: The present study was aimed at finding the optimal conditions for the production of pectate lyase using immobilized Bacillus pumilus DKS1 cells in calcium-alginate (Ca-alginate) beads and determining the efficient degumming of ramie fibre.
Methods and Results: The active cells of B. pumilus DKS1 were immobilized in Ca-alginate and used for the production of pectate lyase. The production of enzyme increased significantly with increasing alginate concentration and reached a maximum enzyme yield of 38·5 U ml−1 at 18 g l−1 . This was about 1·5-fold higher than that obtained by free cells. Degummed fibre using immobilized cells showed better tenacity than that prepared by using nonimmobilized cells.
Conclusions: The Ca-alginate entrapment is a promising immobilization method of B. pumilus DKS1 for semicontinuous enzyme production. Enzyme production by immobilized cells is superior to that of free cells because it leads to higher volumetric activities within the same period of fermentation. Fibre degumming by using immobilized cells produced better quality fibre.
Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first report of degumming of fibre using enzyme from immobilized B. pumilus cells as per our knowledge. High-quality degummed fibre could be prepared with relatively inexpensive inputs for use in the textile and paper industry. 相似文献

Thermoalkalophilic esterase enzyme from Bal?ova (Agamemnon) geothermal site were aimed to be immobilized effectively via a simple and cost-effective protocol in silicate coated Calcium alginate (Ca-alginate) beads by entrapment. The optimal immobilization conditions of enzyme in Ca-alginate beads were investigated and obtained with 2% alginate using 0.5mg/ml enzyme and 0.7 M CaCl(2) solution. In order to prevent enzyme from leaking out of the gel beads, Ca-alginate beads were then coated with silicate. Enzyme loading efficiency and immobilization yield for silicate coated beads was determined as 98.1% and 71.27%, respectively and compared with non-coated ones which were 68.5% and 45.80%, respectively. Surface morphologies, structure and elemental analysis of both silicate coated and non-coated alginate beads were also compared using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Moreover, silicate coated alginate beads enhanced reusability of esterase in continuous processes compared to non-coated beads. The hydrolytic properties of free and immobilized enzyme in terms of storage and thermal stability as well as the effects of the temperature and pH were determined. It was observed that operational, thermal and storage stabilities of the esterase were increased with immobilization. 相似文献

Biosorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol by immobilized white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium from aqueous solutions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was immobilized in several polymer matrices: Ca-alginate, Ca-alginate-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and pectin, and was then used as a biosorbent for removing 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in wastewater. Immobilization of P. chrysosporium onto pectin was less efficient than that onto other matrices because of its poor mechanical strength and low adsorption efficiency. Ca-alginate immobilized fungal beads with biocompatibility exhibited good mechanical strength and adsorption efficiency over 60%. Among the different biomass dosages in Ca-alginate immobilized fungal beads, 1.25% (w/v) was the optimum. The adsorption data of 2,4-DCP on the blank Ca-alginate beads, free, and immobilized fungal biomass could be described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms very well. Desorption operation was efficiently completed by using distilled water as eluant, and the desorption efficiency reached 82.16% at an optimum solid/liquid ratio of 14.3. The consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles studies employing the Ca-alginate immobilized fungal beads demonstrated that the immobilized fungal biomass could be reused in five cycles without significant loss of adsorption efficiency and adsorbent weight. 相似文献

Summary The effect of graded concentrations of four common ricefield herbicides (Arozin, Butachlor, Alachlor, 2,4-D) on diazotrophic growth, macromolecular contents, heterocyst frequency and tolerance potentials of Ca-alginate immobilized diazotrophic cyanobacterial isolates Nostoc punctiforme, N. calcicola, Anabaena variabilis, Gloeocapsasp., Aphanocapsa sp. and laboratory strain N. muscorum ISU (Anabaena ATCC 27893) was studied and compared with free-living cultures. Cyanobacterial isolates showed progressive inhibition of growth with increasing dosage of herbicides in both free and immobilized states. There were significant differences in the relative toxicity of the four herbicides. Arozin proved to be more growth toxic in comparison to Alachlor, Butachlor and 2,4-D. Growth performance of the immobilized cyanobacterial isolates under herbicide stress showed a similar diazotrophic growth pattern to free cells with no difference in lethal and sub-lethal dosages. However, at lethal concentrations of herbicides, the immobilized cells exhibited prolonged survivability of 14–16 days as compared to their free-living counterparts (8–12 days). The decline in growth, macromolecular contents and heterocyst frequency was found to be similar in both the states in graded dosages of herbicides. Of the test organisms, A. variabilis showed maximum natural tolerance towards all the four herbicides tested. Evidently immobilization by Ca-alginate seems to provide protection to the diazotrophic cyanobacterial inoculants to a certain extent against the growth-toxic action of herbicides. 相似文献

AIMS: The present study was aimed at finding the optimal conditions for immobilization of Bacillus licheniformis KBR6 cells in calcium-alginate (Ca-alginate) beads and determining the operational stability during the production of tannin-acyl-hydrolase (tannase) under semicontinous cultivation. METHODS AND RESULTS: The active cells of B. licheniformis KBR6 were immobilized in Ca-alginate and used for the production of tannase. The influence of alginate concentration (5, 10, 20 and 30 g l(-1)) and initial cell loading on enzyme production were studied. The production of tannase increased significantly with increasing alginate concentration and reached a maximum enzyme yield of 0.56 +/- 0.03 U ml(-1) at 20 g l(-1). This was about 1.70-fold higher than that obtained by free cells. The immobilized cells produced tannase consistently over 13 repeated cycles and reached a maximum level at the third cycle. Scanning electron microscope study indicated that the cells in Ca-alginate beads remain in normal shape. CONCLUSIONS: The Ca-alginate entrapment is a promising immobilization method of B. licheniformis KBR6 for repeated tannase production. Tannase production by immobilized cells is superior to that of free cells because it leads to higher volumetric activities within the same period of fermentation. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first report of tannase production from immobilized bacterial cells. The bacterium under study can produce higher amounts of tannase with respect to other fungal strains within a short cultivation period. 相似文献

Lactobacillus reuteri shows certain beneficial effects to human health and is recognized as a probiotic. However, its application in frozen foods is still not popular because of its low survival during freezing and frozen storage. Cell immobilization technique could effectively exert protection effects to microbial cells in order to enhance their endurance to unfavorable environmental conditions as well as to improve their viability and cell concentration. Ca-alginate and κ-carrageenan were used to immobilize L. reuteri in this research, and the immobilized cells were exposed to different freezing temperatures, i.e. − 20 °C, − 40 °C, − 60 °C, − 80 °C, and stored at − 40 °C and − 80 °C for 12 weeks. The objectives were to study the protection effects of cell immobilization against the adverse conditions of freezing and frozen storage, and the effects of freezing temperatures to the immobilized cells. Cell immobilization was used to raise the survival of L. reuteri during freezing and frozen storage in order to develop frozen foods with the probiotic effects of L. reuteri. Results indicated that immobilized L. reuteri possessed better survival in both freezing and frozen storage. The survival of immobilized L. reuteri was higher than that of free cells, and the effects of lower freezing temperature were better than higher freezing temperature. The immobilization effects of Ca-alginate were found to be superior to κ-carrageenan. Cell immobilized L. reuteri exhibits potential to be used in frozen foods. 相似文献

Phenol degradation by Bacillus cereus AKG1 MTCC9817 and AKG2 MTCC 9818 was investigated and degradation kinetics are reported for the free and Ca-alginate gel-immobilized systems. The optimal pH for maximum phenol degradation by immobilized AKG1 and AKG2 was found to be 6.7 and 6.9, respectively, while 3% alginate was optimum for both the strains. The degradation of phenol by free as well as immobilized cells was comparable at lower concentrations of phenol (100–1000 mg l−1). However, the degradation efficiency of the immobilized strains was higher than that of the free strains at higher phenol concentrations (1500–2000 mg l−1), indicating the improved tolerance of the immobilized cells toward phenol toxicity. More than 50% of 2000 mg l−1 phenol was degraded by immobilized AKG1 and AKG2 within 26 and 36 days, respectively. Degradation kinetics of phenol by free and immobilized cells are well represented by the Haldane and Yano model. 相似文献

A bacterial cellulose–alginate (BCA) sponge, fabricated by a freeze-drying process, was successfully used as a yeast cell carrier for ethanol fermentation. The BCA sponge exhibited several advantageous properties, such as high porosity, appropriate pore size, strong hydrophilicity and high mechanical, chemical and thermal stabilities. BCA has an asymmetric structure, with a thin, dense outer layer covering an interior of interconnected macropores that are distributed throughout the sponge, which is effective for yeast immobilization. At 48 h of the fermentation, the maximum ethanol concentration produced by the immobilized culture (IC) in the BCA carrier was about 100 g/L, which was approximately 13% and 45% higher than that from the suspended culture (SC) and from IC in Ca-alginate matrix, respectively. Repeated-batch ethanol productions using IC in BCA carriers were also more stable than those using SC or IC in Ca-alginate matrix. The results of a 15 cycle repeated batch operation demonstrated that the system with IC in BCA exhibited superior long-term stability for ethanol fermentation with the average ethanol productivity at 1.9 g/L h and the immobilized yield at 86%. The improved ethanol fermentation performance was mainly due to the water uptake ability and properly interconnected pore structure, which help to overcome limiting mass transfer. 相似文献

Summary Diacetyl production by (Citr*)Lactococcus lactis subsp.lactis 3022 was found to be an oxygen-dependent reaction. The diacetyl production by the cells immobilized in conventional Ca-alginate gel beads (Diameter: 3 mm) was lower than that of the cells immobilized in Ca-alginate gel fibers (Diameter: 0.2 mm), probably because oxygen transfer to the immobilized cells is better in gel fibers than in gel beads. 相似文献

Kluyveromyces marxianus cells with inulinase (2,1-β-d-fructan fructanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.7) activity have been immobilized in open pore gelatin pellets with retention of > 90% of the original activity. The open pore gelatin pellets with entrapped yeast cells were obtained by selective leaching out of calcium alginate from the composite matrix, followed by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. Enzymatic properties of the gelatin-entrapped cells were studied and compared with those of the free cells. The immobilization procedure did not alter the optimum pH of the enzymatic preparation; the optimum for both free and immobilized cells was pH 6.0. The optimum temperature of inulin hydrolysis was 10°C higher for immobilized cells. Activation energies for the reaction with the free and immobilized cells were calculated to be 6.35 and 2.26 kcal mol?1, respectively. Km values were 8 mM inulin for the free cells and 9.52 mM for the immobilized cells. The thermal stability of the enzyme was improved by immobilization. Free and immobilized cells showed fairly stable activities between pH 4 and 7, but free cell inulinase was more labile at pH values below 4 and above 7 compared to the immobilized form. There was no loss of enzyme activity of the immobilized cells on storage at 4°C for 30 days. Over the same period at room temperature only 6% of the original activity was lost. 相似文献

Alcohol dehydrogenase from halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii (HvADH2) was successfully covalently immobilized on metal-derivatized epoxy Sepabeads. The immobilization conditions were optimized by investigating several parameters that affect the halophilic enzyme–support interaction. The highest immobilization efficiency (100 %) and retention activity (60 %) were achieved after 48 h of incubation of the enzyme with Ni-epoxy Sepabeads support in 100 mM Tris–HCl buffer, pH 8, containing 3 M KCl at 5 °C. No significant stabilization was observed after blocking the unreacted epoxy groups with commonly used hydrophilic agents. A significant increase in the stability of the immobilized enzyme was achieved by blocking the unreacted epoxy groups with ethylamine. The immobilization process increased the enzyme stability, thermal activity, and organic solvents tolerance when compared to its soluble counterpart, indicating that the immobilization enhances the structural and conformational stability. One step purification–immobilization of this enzyme has been carried out on metal chelate-epoxy Sepabeads, as an efficient method to obtain immobilized biocatalyst directly from bacterial extracts. 相似文献

Many literature reports have cited the importance of the rehydration conditions of lyophilized cultures in determining viability. The rate of rehydration and the volume of fluid used have been identified as two important factors. One possible means of controlling these is by immobilizing the cells before lyophilization within a gel matrix in which the subsequent rehydration rate and fluid volume would be controlled by the properties of the gel. In this study Lactobacillus plantarum was immobilized and lyophilized in Ca-alginate beads in which 1 M glycerol or 0.75 M adonitol with skim milk were incorporated as a cryoprotectant. The properties of these Ca-alginate beads were examined before and after lyophilization and rehydration. The beads incorporating glycerol were smaller and stronger than those with adonitol. After lyophilization, size decreased and strength increased but to a greater extent in the beads with glycerol, indicating that the microenvironment within the two bead types was probably different. The protective effect of the bead microenvironment on immobilized L. plantarum was also examined. Lyophilization and rehydration within the alginate beads with either polyol yielded higher survival rates than that attained with free cell cultures during rehydration in optimal or suboptimal conditions. During rehydration under suboptimal conditions, the immobilized cell survival was greatest when 0.75 M adonitol was the incorporated cryoprotectant. 相似文献

Lysosomal enzymes isolated from egg white were directly immobilized on titanium (IV) oxide (TiO2) particles using shaking methods (150 rpm, room temperature, 10 min), and the immobilization efficiency, activity, and stability of lysosomal enzymes immobilized on TiO2 were evaluated. Of the various mass ratios (w/w) of lysosomal enzymes to TiO2 tested, we found that 100% immobilization efficiency was observed at a ratio of 1:20 (enzymes:TiO2; w/w). Furthermore, the antimicrobial activities of the immobilized lysosomal enzymes were confirmed using viable cell counts against Escherichia coli. Our results showed that the antimicrobial activity of immobilized lysosomal enzymes is stable and can be maintained up to one month, but the antimicrobial activity of free enzymes without immobilization completely disappeared after five days in storage. In addition, enhanced immobilization efficiency was shown in TiO2 pretreated with a divalent, positively charged ion, Ca2+, and the antimicrobial activity for E. coli increased as a function of increasing ratio of immobilized enzymes. However, K+, a monovalent, positively charged ion, did not have any positive effect on immobilization or antimicrobial activity. Finally, we suggest that activity and stability of immobilized lysosomal enzymes can be maintained for a longer time than those properties of free lysosomal enzymes. 相似文献

The crude intracellular lipase (cell homogenate) from Trichosporon laibacchii was subjected to partial purification by aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) and then in situ immobilization by directly adding diatomites as carrier to the top PEG-rich phase of ATPS. A partition study of lipase in the ATPS formed by polyethylene glycol–potassium phosphate has been performed. The influence of system parameters such as molecular weight of PEG, system phase composition and system pH on the partitioning behaviour of lipase was evaluated. The ATPS consisting of PEG 4000 (12%) and potassium phosphate (K2HPO4, 13%) resulted in partition of lipase to the PEG-rich phase with partition coefficient 7.61, activity recovery 80.4%, and purification factor of 5.84 at pH of 7.0 and 2.0% NaCl. Moreover, the in situ immobilization of lipase in PEG phase resulted in a highest immobilized lipase activity of 1114.6 U g?1. The above results show that this novel lipase immobilization procedure which couples ATPS extract and enzyme immobilization is cost-effective as well as time-saving. It could be potentially useful technique for the purification and immobilization of lipase. 相似文献

Summary Roquefortine synthesis with free and Ca-alginate immobilized Penicillium roqueforti cells was investigated under different culture conditions. Decreasing Ca-alginate concentration was related to increasing roquefortine production; free cells gave the best results. Formation of roquefortine was three times higher with mannitol and succinate than with sucrose as the carbon source; phosphate inhibited its biosynthesis in free cells by 23% to 32%. Relationships between cell density, 14C-tryptophan content of cells and roquefortine synthesis were shown. The special morphology of immobilized mycelia was demonstrated. 相似文献

Summary Cultured Catharanthus roseus cells were immobilized using geometrically identical needled fibreglass mats prepared with a range of surface coatings. The phenyl (PS), polyglycol (PG), aldehyde (CHO), alkyl (CTMS), and silanol (AW) coatings, along with the untreated glass (HC) surface, produced surfaces with a range of surface tensions. The immobilization efficiency of the substratum, measured as the percentage of cells immobilized, increased with increasing substratum surface tension in the order PS < PG < CHO < CTMS < AW < HC. The dependence of immobilization efficiency on substratum surface tension can be described using a thermodynamic model of adhesion that considers the extent of plant cell adhesion to be a function of the surface tensions of the substratum, the suspending liquid, and the plant cells. In addition, this dependence also demonstrates the fundamental role of adhesion in the immobilization process involving a glass fibre matrix. However, cell entrapment processes are also implicated. The untreated glass fibre substratum (HC), which demonstrated the greatest immobilization efficiency, was used for further characterization of the immobilization strategy. Maximum inoculum biomass was determined to be approximately 1.9 g cells (fresh weight)/g substratum (dry weight) to achieve greater than 90% immobilization efficiency. The growth rate of immobilized cultures was slower than suspension cultures, probably due to mass transfer limitations. Production of the indole alkaloids, tryptamine, catharanthine, and ajmalicine, was also suppressed relative to suspension-cultured cells. These results are considered in relation to other immobilization strategies and their apparent effects on cellular processes.

Chitosan (CS) is considered a suitable biomaterial for enzyme immobilization. CS combination with polyethylene glycol (PEG) can improve the biocompatibility and the properties of the immobilized system. Thus, the present work investigated the effect of the PEG in the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilization into chitosan nanoparticles from the morphological, physicochemical, and biochemical perspectives. CS and CS/PEG nanoparticles were obtained by ionotropic gelation and provided immobilization efficiencies (IE) of 65.8 % and 51.7 % and activity recovery (AR) of 76.4 % and 60.4 %, respectively. The particles were characterized by DLS, ZP, SEM, FTIR, TGA and DSC analysis. Chitosan nanoparticles showed size around 135 nm and increased to 229 nm after PEG addition and HRP immobilization. All particles showed positive surface charges (20−28 mV). Characterizations suggest nanoparticles formation and effective immobilization process. Similar values for optimum temperature and pH for immobilized HRP into both nanoparticles were found (45 °C, 7.0). Vmax value decreased by 5.07 to 3.82 and 4.11 mM/min and KM increased by 17.78 to 18.28 and 19.92 mM for free and immobilized HRP into chitosan and chitosan/PEG nanoparticles, respectively. Another biochemical parameters (Kcat, Ke, and Kα) evaluated showed a slight reduction for the immobilized enzyme in both nanoparticles compared to the free enzyme. 相似文献
