UN METODO PARA LA INMOVILIZACION DE UN MICROORGANISMO PRODUCTOR DE UN ENZIMA O DE UN ENZIMA PRODUCIDO POR DICHO MICROORGANISMO

摘要

Disclosed is a method for the immobilization of an enzyme producing microorganism or an enzyme produced thereby. The method involves fiocculating the biocatalyst with polyethylenimine and adding chitosan and glutaraldehyde to form a reaction product. In a preferred embodiment, the reaction product is extruded onto the revolving plate of a spheronizing device to form spherical enzyme aggregates having enhanced physical and biocatalytic properties.
