IMMOBILIZATION OF THE SUCROSE MUTASE IN WHOLE CELLS OF PROTAMINOBACTER RUBRUM

摘要

Sucrose mutase in whole cells of Protaminobacter rubrum #l is immobilized by contacting the cells with tannic acid, polyethylenimine, and an adduct of glutaraldehyde and an epihalohydrin/polyamine copolymer. The resultant reaction product has improved sucrose mutase activity and physical characteristics for use in a packed-bed reactor to convert sucrose to palatinose.
