Abstract: | Adsorption of fungal spores on a synthetic polymer - High Density Polyethylene was successfully achieved using different pretreatments. Sonication of beads followed by ferric nitrate treatment or use of 0.1% tributyrin gave adsorption upto 46%. Use of dichloromethane as a solvent for sonication is recommended for its better performance in reuse studies (upto 5 times without much decrease in activity). 100 g of immobilized biocatabyst in a 7 L Fluidized Bed Bioreactor was found to perform better than shaker flask at a much lower power input. |
