Bioconversion in an aqueous two-phase system using a smart biocatalyst: casein hydrolysis by a a-chymotrypsin derivative
نویسندگان
چکیده
Casein hydrolysis was carried out in PEG-dextran two-phase system by using a-chymotrypsin immobilized on a water soluble polymer Eudragit S-100. This biocatalyst along with the substrate casein was predominantly found to partition into the PEG phase. Under these optimized conditions, the product was found to partition (84%) in the dextran phase. Removal of dextran phase at an appropriate time interval and replacing it with fresh dextran phase led to considerable enhancement of casein hydrolysis. The biocatalyst could be separated from the PEG phase by lowering the pH to 3.8 and again dissolved in PEG phase by increasing the pH to 7.6. Thus, this smart biocatalyst could be reused for casein hydrolysis in PEG-dextran two-phase aqueous system.

Extractive bioconversion of xylan for production of xylobiose and xylotriose using a PEG6000/sodium citrate aqueous two-phase system
−Aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was applied for extraction bioconversion of xylan by xylanase from Trichoderma viride. Phase diagrams for poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and sodium citrate were determined at room temperature. The ATPS composed of 12.99% (w/w) PEG6000 and 12.09% (w/w) sodium citrate was favorable for partition of xylanase and used for extraction bioconversion of xylan. Batch hydro...
