- Abstract:
- ... The input-output ratio of the immobilization process is crucial to determining whether the immobilized cellulase can truly participate in industrial production. This study reports a simple, efficient and environmentally friendly method for covalent immobilization of cellulase on uniform, monodisperse polyurea microspheres. The reported method offers several benefits including (i) polyurea microsph ...

- Abstract:
- ... Lecitase Ultra (Leci) was immobilized on Immobead-350 (IB-350) activated with epoxy (EPO), amino-divinylsulfone (DVS) or amino-glutaraldehyde (GLU) groups. Leci-GLU had 27% more activity versus p-nitro-phenyl butyrate (p-NPB) than Leci-EPO, after 3 h of immobilization using 100 mg of enzyme/g of support (immobilization yield was 84.1%, expressed activity versus p-NPB was around 10%), the covalent ...

- Abstract:
- ... Tenatoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor drug candidate, is developed as an acid inhibitor to treat gastric acid hypersecretion disorders, such as gastric ulcer and reflux esophagitis. Tenatoprazole is known to be metabolized to three major metabolites—tenatoprazole sulfone, 5’-hydroxylated metabolite, and tenatoprazole sulfide—in human livers mainly by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. In this study, an enzymati ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) is a well-known enzyme immobilization technique that is efficient and cost-effective. In this study, we proposed a combination of the surface modification of an enzyme and CLEA to increase the number of free amino groups. Site-directed mutagenesis was applied to selected residues of xylanase from Aspergillus fumigatus RT-1 and the xylanase was subsequently cros ...

Three differently immobilized preparations of an enzyme extract from Candida boidinii containing a NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase (CbFDH) were prepared by encapsulation using calcium alginate (CbFDH-Alg) or polyvinyl alcohol (CbFDH-PVA) or by adsorption on montmorillonite K 10 (CbFDH-Mont). All FDH preparations were characterized in terms of both oxidation and reduction activities. For the f ...

- Abstract:

Sclerotiorin is the secondary metabolite of Penicillium sclerotiorum, which is usually produced by solid state fermentation or liquid culture without stirring (formation of mycelial mat on air-liquid surface). In the present work, it was confirmed that malic acid was produced during cell suspension culture in a liquid medium (mycelia acting as planktonic cells) using resting cells as whole cell bi ...

- Abstract:

One of the most promising alternatives is to use enzymes as catalysts for PET depolymerization to its monomers, but this route still needs improvement, especially regarding titer and productivity. In the present work, a sequential approach c ...

- Abstract:
- ... Chiral diol t-butyl 6-cyano-(3R,5R)-dihydroxyhexanoate ((3R,5R)-2) is an important building block of atorvastatin calcium. In our previous works, we constructed a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and carbonyl reductase (CR) co-expression strain E. coli BL21(DE3)/pCDFDuet-gdh-cr, which was capable for asymmetrically reducing t-butyl 6-cyano-(5R)-hydroxyl-3-oxolhexanoate ((5R)-1) to (3R,5R)-2. In order t ...

- Abstract:
- ... Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) are attractive enzymes for producing enantiopure epoxides and diols, but do not display enough stability when lysates or Escherichia coli whole cells are used as biocatalysts. In this work, an organic-solvent tolerant strain Rhodococcus ruber THdAdN was utilized to overexpress an epoxide hydrolase from Agrobacterium radiobacter (ArEH), using E. coli BL21(DE3) as a control. ...

These and other related compounds are particularly relevant because of their antitubercular bioactivities and as β-adrenergic receptor blockers. The ability of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa LSL to stereoselectively reduce prochiral ketones coupled to copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was exploite ...

- Abstract:
- ... Erucic acid (C22:1, Δ13Z) is an interesting building block for the oleochemical industry and is abundantly present in Crambe abyssinica seed oil (∼59% of C22:1). For the enrichment of fatty acids (FA), lipases can be employed and we have found in a previous protein engineering study suitable variants of lipase A from Moesziomyces antarcticus (CAL-A) for the enrichment of C22:1 from Crambe oil deri ...

- Abstract:
- ... The best support reported for dextransucrase (DS) and dextranase (DN) immobilization was Eupergit C, but this carrier was discontinued and is no longer available in the market. Thus, epoxy-agarose support is suggested as an alternative to co-immobilize DS from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512F and DN from Chaetomium erraticum. The co-immobilization approach improved DS performance, compared to immo ...
