Methods of Cell Immobilization and Its Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immobilization is the method of entrapping/attaching the microbial or plant cells in a suitable matrix. Different methods such as encapsulation, gel entrapment, covalent bonding, cross linking and adsorption is carried out to prepare immobilized cells. When compared to enzyme immobilization, cell immobilization is regarded as a convenient method because of its low cost and improved stability. The cost of isolation and purification is very high in enzyme immobilization. These immobilized cells are mainly used in the areas of biotechnology and industrial production. This paper reviews the various methods of immobilization and application of immobilized cells in waste treatment and biodiesel production.

Gum Tragacanth Gels as a New Supporting Matrix for Immobilization of Whole-Cell
We introduce a new smooth, non-toxic, biocompatible method for cross-linking of gum tragacanth (GT), a polysaccharide of natural origin, in order to serve as a new supporting matrix for immobilization systems. The modified gum is used as a matrix for the catalysis of the conversion of benzyl penicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) by means of Escherichia coli ATCC11105 with penicill...
متن کاملStudy of immobilization of nano-TiO2 for environmental aspects on glass by different resin categories
TiO2 and especially its nano-metric structure have many applications for environmental proposes. It can be used in mobilized or immobilized status, but its consumption is less in immobilized form and its process would be economical. In addition, the environmental problems would be minimized. There are a few methods for immobilization of nano-TiO2 inside the process. The sol-gel method is typica...

متن کاملImmobilized Bioelectrochemical Sensors
Presently there are a number of fine and sensitive methods for determining chemical or biochemical substance among which bio electrodes represent the most recent development. Bioelectrodes consist of biologically active materials (e.g enzyme, antibody, whole cell or cell fragments) held in close proximity to a suitable electrochemical transducer that sense specific electroactive enzyme subs...
