multi-enzymes acting sequentially
• whole cells preferred when multi-step
• enzymes preferred for 1 or 2 step transformations
• competing side reactions with whole cells
• sterility problems
• cell lysis
• other physiological requirements (nutrients, O2)
Advantages to immobilizing
enzymes and cells
• increased stability,weeks or months
• stable to heat, pH extremes, storage,
reaction
• facilitates recovery for repeated or
continuous use (essential for soluble
enzymes)
• cellular activity is enzymatic activity
(biotransformations)
Immobilization Techniques
bound
entrapped
matrix
encapsulation
adsorbed
microencapsulation
covalently
attached
support
enzyme or
cell
Matrix or lattice entrapment in
polymeric gels
• monomer, crosslinker,
polymerization catalyst, cells or
enzyme
• forms lattice structure, entrapping
cells/enzyme
• eg. polyacrylamide cross-linked
with N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide
(covalent gel)
Alginate and carrageenan non-covalent gels
• Naturally derived polymers extracted from
seaweed
• Used in food industry as a thickener
– ice cream, pudding, frozen drink
concentrates, jam, yoghurt, bakery
products, confectionery
• Dental molds
• Immobilization technology as an
encapsulating matrix
• Natural polymers are highly variable in
composition and their chemistry is generally
not known
• Composition affects properties

Tannase from Aspergillus oryzae to
hydrolyze tea tannins
• tannins represent 25% of extractables
in tea leaves
• cause creaming (turbidity) on cooling
• desire tea to be clear and bright
• tannase controlled hydrolysis of tannins,
retaining flavour
• encapsulated tannase remained stable
for 1 month
• 3 successive batch cycles during
48 h processing

• spherical ultrathin semipermeable membrane
enclosing cell/enzyme
suspension/solution
• interfacial polymerization

Adsorption
• simple adsorption of
cell/enzyme onto support
(carrier) with adsorptive
properties
– anion exchange resins (DEAE
cellulose, Sephadex)
– cation exchange resins
(carboxymethylcellulose)
Covalent binding to support
• common technique
• carriers
– natural materials (cellulose, active
carbon)
– inorganic materials (glass, stainless
steel, ceramics (porous), silica (sand)
– enzymes/cells have reactive groups
(NH2, OH, SH, COOH)
– carriers are usually unreactive so
activation step required
Corning glass process (glucose isomerase and lactase)

ceramic + (C2H5O)3Si(CH2)3NH2

OHC-(CH2)3-CHO

cell-N=CH(CH2)3CH=N-carrier + H2O
Cross-linking intramolecular or cell to cell
• enzyme or cell cross-linked to
– another enzyme molecule
– another protein (BSA)
– insoluble carrier molecule
• glutaraldehyde cross-links NH2 groups
• hexamethylene diamine links COOH groups
Comparison of immobilization techniques
• adsorption and gel entrapment
– simple, gentle and efficient
– enzyme/cells often released (leaky); solved by cross-linking
– gas buildup may be problem
• microencapsulation
–
–
–
size exclusion (eg. antibodies)
only small substrates can be used
may lead to inactivation
• covalent attachment and cross-linking
– strong attachment
– laborious and expensive
– often leads to significant inactivation
Reaction kinetics or mass transfer control
• diffusional resistances
minimized by
– decreasing particle
size (increase surface
area/volume ratio)
– increasing [R]bulk
– improved mixing,
agitation
– increasing porosity
– optimizing distribution
of enzyme/cells
