متن کاملReversible bacterial immobilization based on the salt-dependent adhesion of the bacterionanofiber protein AtaA
BACKGROUND Immobilization of microbial cells is an important strategy for the efficient use of whole-cell catalysts because it simplifies product separation, enables the cell concentration to be increased, stabilizes enzymatic activity, and permits repeated or continuous biocatalyst use. However, conventional immobilization methods have practical limitations, such as limited mass transfer in th...
متن کاملMethods of Cell Immobilization and Its Applications
Immobilization is the method of entrapping/attaching the microbial or plant cells in a suitable matrix. Different methods such as encapsulation, gel entrapment, covalent bonding, cross linking and adsorption is carried out to prepare immobilized cells. When compared to enzyme immobilization, cell immobilization is regarded as a convenient method because of its low cost and improved stability. T...
