Immobilization of Mucor miehei lipase on ion exchange resins

摘要

An attempt was made to immobilize Mucor miehei lipase on ion exchange resins and other supports. Indion 850, a styrene-divinyl benzene polymer resin, proved to be the best among the supports tested. The procedure for immobilization is simple adsorption of the soluble enzyme from dilute aqueous solution onto the resin beads. The immobilized version was found to have 1.4 times higher activity compared with its soluble counterpart and an enhanced thermal stability.
