چکیده
Biocat collection http://www.biocatcollection.net/cms/ The Biocat collection is a repository of organisms and enzymes that are available for screening or other uses in biocatalysis. The collection includes oxidoreductases, hydrolases, lyases and polymerases. BRENDA http://www.brenda-enzymes.info/ BRENDA is a comprehensive database of enzymes organized with practical usage in mind. There is extensive information of how to express and obtain maximal enzyme activity.

Development of bioreactors for application of biocatalysts in biotransformations and bioremediation*
Biotransformation systems, whether used for environmentally benign biocatalysis of synthetic reactions, or bioremediation of pollutants, require suitable biocatalysts and suitable bioreactor systems with particular characteristics. Our research focuses on the bioconversion of organic compounds, many of which are industrial residues, such as phenols, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compo...

This work demonstrates the first example of the immobilisation of MAO-N whole cells to produce a biocatalyst that remained suitable for repetitive use after 11 months of storage and stable up to 15 months after immobilisation. The production ofEscherichia coli expressing recombinant MAON was scaled up to bioreactors under regulated, previously optimised conditions (10 % DO, pH 7), and the amoun...
متن کاملContinuous Membrane-Based Screening System for Biocatalysis
The use of membrane reactors for enzymatic and co-factor regenerating reactions offers versatile advantages such as higher conversion rates and space-time-yields and is therefore often applied in industry. However, currently available screening and kinetics characterization systems are based on batch and fed-batch operated reactors and were developed for whole cell biotransformations rather tha...
