the decolorization of maxilon-red dye by kissiris immobilized phanerochaete chrysosporium in the trickle-bed reactor (tbr) using the basal nitrogen-limited growth medium was studied. the influence of the superficial liquid velocity (slv) on the decolorizing ability of the fungus was examined at four slvs (cm sec-1): 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, and 0.15. maximum level of the decolorizing activity was abou...

Bacterial luciferase and NADH:FMN oxidoreductase have been immobilized onto arylamine glass beads. These immobilized enzymes can detect as little as 0.2 pmol of NADH per assay sample. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase has been co-immobilized with these enzymes, and with this system it is possible to quantitate 1 pmol of glucose 6-phosphate. By co-immobilizing a fourth enzyme, hexokinase, onto t...

A method for co-immobilizing lipase from porcine pancreas, glycerol kinase (GK) from Cellulomonas spp., glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase (GPO) from Aerococcus viridans and peroxidase from horseradish onto zirconia-coated alkylamine glass beads through glutaraldehyde coupling has been described. The co-immobilized enzymes retained 71.4% of initial specific activity with a conjugation yield of 43.6 m...

background: enzymes are well known as sensitive catalysts in the laboratory and industrial scale. to improve their properties and for using their significant potential in various reactions as a useful catalyst the stability of enzymes can often require improvement. enzymes immobilization on solid supports such as epoxy- functionalized ferric silica nanocomposite can be effective way to improve ...

BACKGROUND Increasing attention has been focused on inulin and levan-type oligosaccharides, including fructosyl-xylosides and other fructosides due to their nutraceutical properties. Bacillus subtilis levansucrase (LS) catalyzes the synthesis of levan from sucrose, but it may also transfer the fructosyl moiety from sucrose to acceptor molecules included in the reaction medium. To study transfru...

The cost of biodiesel production relies on feedstock cost. Edible oil is unfavorable as a biodiesel feedstock because of its expensive price. Thus, non-edible crop oil, waste oil, and microalgae oil have been considered as alternative resources. Non-edible crop oil and waste cooking oil are more suitable for enzymatic transesterification because they include a large amount of free fatty acids. ...
