Cellulase immobilized on a soluble polymer

TLDR
The pH activity of immobilized enzyme was unchanged, but exhibited more stable activity at acidic pH than the free enzyme, and higher resistance to heat inactivation was also observed.
Abstract
Aspergillus niger cellulase was imobilized on cyanogen bromide activated dextran of varying molecular weights. The effect of different concentrations of cyanogen bromide used for the activation process was also studied. About 50% conjugation and 70% retention activity was achieved in the immobilized cellulase. The pH activity of immobilized enzyme was unchanged, but exhibited more stable activity at acidic pH than the free enzyme. Higher resistance to heat inactivation was also observed.

The kinetics and mechanism of shear inactivation of lipase from Candida cylindracea

TL;DR: Temperature was found to have no effect in the rate of shear‐induced denaturation of the lipase in the range 20 to 30°C during shearing at 100 s −1and optimal pH, but above 30 °C, the rateof denaturationof the lipases increased drastically as a function of temperature.

Detergent compositions comprising immobilized enzymes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe detergent compositions comprising one or more enzymes which are immobilized by a covalent binding on an activated polymer, such as polyethylene glycol.

Removal of lignin and reuse of cellulases for continuous saccharification of lignocelluloses.

TL;DR: The ultra‐filtration membrane PM10 (Amicon) could be used for recovery of cellulases, but the membrane UH‐1 (Toyo Roshi) was better for this purpose, because no cellulases leaked from the membrane, and the amount of cellulase adsorbed to the membrane was less.

Immobilized cellulases for cellulose utilization

TL;DR: The β-glucosidase component of cellulase can be stabilized and immobilized for efficient hydrolysis of soluble cellobiose and short-chain cello-oligosaccharides.
