Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membrane was prepared via photopolymerization and activated with epichlorohydrin. The conidia of Aspergillus niger strains (wild type 'NRRL-3' and genetically improved strain 'NRRL-3/2-2A') were covalently-immobilized on the membranes. Uniform growth of A. niger cells on membrane surfaces was verified by SEM. The glucose oxidase (GOD) activity of the immobilized cells was determined in a continuous flow membrane reactor (CFMR) by assaying for hydrogen peroxide produced. The activity was also determined in the culture fluids of A. niger strains, freely grown in batch cultures. The CFMR was run with 0.1 mol dm-3 glucose with a fixed flow rate of 20 cm3 h-1 for 60 h during which a 10% loss of the original activity was detected. The loss of the activity with the freely cultivated mycelia was about 50% after 30 h. The GOD activity of the improved strain NRRL-3/2-2A was about 20 times higher whether in immobilized or in free form. The GOD activity of the immobilized A. niger strains in the continuous flow membrane reactor was found to be 2-5 times better than their counterparts freely grown in batch cultures indicating that immobilization increases the activity and the stability of the microorganisms.

Invertase immobilized on spacer-arm attached poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) membrane: Preparation and properties Arica, MY; Senel, S; Alaeddinoglu, NG; Patir, S; Denizli, A (Wiley, 2000-04-01) Microporous poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membrane was prepared by UV-initiated photopolymerization. The spacer arm (i.e., hexamethylene diamine) was attached covalently and then invertase was immobilized by the condensation reaction of the amino groups of the spacer arm with carboxyl groups of the enzyme in the presence of carbodiimides. The values of the Michael's constant K-m of invertase were significantly larger (ca. 2.5 times) upon immobilization, indicating decreased affinity by the enzym...
Covalent immobilization of invertase on chemically activated poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) microbeads Altinok, H.; Aksoy, S.; Tumturk, H.; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2006-10-01) Properties of invertase immobilized on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) microbeads activated by epichlorohydrin or cyanuric chloride were studied. After 20 repeated uses for 3 days, the activity of the immobilized enzyme was 92-93%.
GLUCOSE-OXIDASE SANDWICHED BETWEEN PHEMA LAYERS - A CONTINUOUS-FLOW REACTOR APPLICATION ARICA, MY; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (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 hi...
NOVEL PHEMA MEMBRANES FOR POTENTIAL BIOELECTRODE USE Arıca, MY; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1993-05-14) Several types of PHEMA membranes were prepared via photopolymerization. In some applications, glucose oxidase (GOD) was entrapped in the bulk of the membrane or between layers. In others it was covalently bonded on the membranes. The effect of chemical composition and various initiators on the entrapped GOD were determined. In the entrapment in the bulk it was found that as the monomer concentration in the polymerization medium increased, the GOD activity decreased. Among the initiators used, the highest en...
Dye derived and metal incorporated affinity poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) membranes for use in enzyme immobilization Arica, MY; Denizli, A; Baran, T; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1998-08-01) Microporous poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) membranes were prepared by W-initiated photopolymerization of HEMA in the presence of an initiator (alpha,alpha'-azobisisobutyronitrile, AIBN). An affinity dye Cibacron Blue F3GA (CB) was attached covalently and then Fe3+ ions incorporated. The PHEMA-CB and PHEMA-CB-Fe3+ membranes derived were used for adsorption of glucose oxidase (GOD). The adsorption capacities of these membranes were determined under conditions of different pH and with different conc...
