Abstract: | Aerobic cells of Trichoderma reesei have been immobilized by the radiation polymerization technique using fibrous substances and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The enzyme cellulase, 1,4-(1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4] productivity and growth of the cells in the immobilized growing cells have been studied. The enzyme (filter paper) activity in the immobilized cells was comparable to that of the intact cells, showing that the cells immobilized with fibrous materials grow and become adhered to the surface of the fibrils. The filter paper activity of the immobilized cells was affected mainly by monomer concentration and the content of the fibrous materials, as well as the irradiation dose. It was demonstrated that in repeated batch culture of the immobilized cells the filter paper activity gave a constant value, and leakage of the cells was not observed. |
