GLUCOSE-OXIDASE SANDWICHED BETWEEN PHEMA LAYERS - A CONTINUOUS-FLOW REACTOR APPLICATION

1993-09-01
Glucose oxidase was entrapped between poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) membranes and conditions were optimized for high enzyme activity and high levels of entrapment. Highest entrapment was with a 78 mum thick coat. A continuous flow membrane reactor was designed and used. The reaction was first order with respect to glucose and to oxygen. V(max) values for the native and immobilized enzymes were 0.182 and 0.133 mm/min. The K(m)'s for native and immobilized enzymes were 6.2 and 16.9 mm, respectively. At high substrate concentrations enzyme poisoning was detected. Both pH and temperature profiles moved to higher values upon immobilization. The enzyme retained 80% of its activity for at least 3 months in dry form.

BIOREACTOR APPLICATIONS OF GLUCOSE-OXIDASE COVALENTLY BONDED ON PHEMA MEMBRANES
ARICA, MY; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1993-09-01)
Glucose oxidase was immobilized onto poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) membranes by covalent bonding through epichlorohydrin. The highest immobilization efficiency was found to be 17.4%. The K(m) values were 5.9 and 8.8 mm for free and bound enzymes, respectively, and the V(max) values were 0.071 and 0.067 mm/min for free and bound enzymes. When the medium was saturated with oxygen K(m) was not altered significantly but V(max) was. The optimum pHs for the free and bound enzyme were determined to be 5 and 6,...
IMMOBILIZATION OF GLUCOSE-OXIDASE - A COMPARISON OF ENTRAPMENT AND COVALENT BONDING
ARICA, MY; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1993-01-01)
Glucose oxidase was immobilized onto poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membranes by two methods: by covalent bonding through epichlorohydrin and by entrapment between pHEMA membranes. The highest immobilization efficiency was found to be 17.4% and 93.7% for the covalent bonding and entrapment, respectively. The K(m) values were 5.9 mmol dm-3, 8.8 mmol dm-3 and 12.4 mmol dm-3 for free, bound and entrapped enzyme, respectively. The V(max) values were 0.071 mmol dm-3 min-1, 0.067 mmol dm-3 min-1 and 0....
Aromatic amino acid synthesis performance of bacillus acidocaldarius
Kocabaş, Pınar; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
In this study, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters on aromatic amino acid synthesis performance of Bacillus acidocaldarius were investigated. Firstly, in laboratory scale shake-bioreactors, a defined medium was designed in terms of its carbon and nitrogen sources, to achieve the highest cell concentration. Thereafter, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters, i.e., pH and temperature were investigated; and the optimum medium contained (kg m-3): fructose, 8; (NH4)2HPO4, 5; CaCl2, 0.2; KH2PO4...
MATRIX ENTRAPMENT OF GLUCOSE-OXIDASE BY GAMMA-IRRADIATION
GURSEL, I; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1992-01-01)
In this study, matrix entrapment of the enzyme glucose oxidase was achieved through gamma-irradiation of monomers N-vinyl pyrrolidone, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and their mixture. To test the effect of radiation on entrapment efficiency, retention of activities and properties of the system, duration and temperature were varied. The reusability of the resultant products was tested. It was generally found that inclusion of the hydrophilic monomer N-vinyl pyrrolidone into the matrix increased the water conte...
Immobilization of glucose oxidase in conducting graft copolymers and determination of glucose amount in orange juices with enzyme electrodes
Yildiz, HB; Kiralp, S; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Y (Elsevier BV, 2005-12-15)
Glucose oxidase was immobilized in conducting copolymers of three different types of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-thienyl methacrylate). Immobilization of enzyme was carried out by the entrapment in conducting polymers during electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole on the copolymer electrodes. Maximum reaction rate, Michaelis-Menten constants, temperature, pH and operational stabilities were determined for immobilized enzyme. The amount of glucose in orange juices of Turkey was investigated by using enzyme...
