The aim of this work was to study the isolation of glucose oxidase (GOx) from Aspergillus niger in aqueous two phase system consisting of PEG 7500 (150g l), potassium phosphate (175 g l, K2HPO4 +KH2PO4) and glucose (10 gl), the enzyme was partitioned in polymer phase. By sequential extraction GOx (69.2%) was recovered in polymer phase by 11.8 fold purification, giving a yield of 129U mg protein-.

An optimal environment for glucose oxidase (GOx) in Nafion membranes is achieved using an advanced immobilization protocol based on a nonaqueous immobilization route. Exposure of glucose oxidase to water-organic mixtures with a high (85-95%) content of the organic solvent resulted in stabilization of the enzyme by a membrane-forming polyelectrolyte. Such an optimal environment leads to the high...

Back Cover: In article number 2100121, Suchetan Pal and co-workers develop a family of multi-responsive polymer hydrogels crosslinked with bis boronic acid molecules. Hydrogels tetrahydroxydiboron show glucoseresponsive degradation in the presence glucose oxidase (GOX) enzyme. Furthermore, insulin releases under high conditions physiological milieu.

A rapid and simple procedure was developed for the preparation of a highly stable and leach-proof glucose oxidase (GOx)-bound glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Crosslinked GOx via glutaraldehyde was drop-cast on a KOH-pretreated GCE followed by drop-casting of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to form a stable bioactive layer. At -0.45 V, the biosensor exhibited a wide dynamic detection range o...

Glucose oxidase is an important enzyme hydrolyzing for its hydrolyzing activity on glucos. It possesses and has a wide board of applications in different industries such as bakery, pharmaceutical, plant pathology and biosensors. In this study, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was transformed successfully by the glucose oxidase gene (gox) obtained from Penicillium funicolusum. The secreted gluco...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been self-assembled onto electrochemically deposited polyaniline (PANI) films on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass plates to fabricate glucose biosensor. The covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) in the near vicinity of gold nanoparticles has been obtained using N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), chemist...

Glucose oxidase (GOx) has found wide range of industrial applications. Commercial GOx are produced from Aspergillus niger and selected strains of Penicllium species, however, these strains are associated with some drawbacks. Aspergillus niger produces predominantly intracellular GOx, which requires extra recovery processes thus incurs more processing cost while Penicillium sp. exhibits filament...

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-coated platinum electrodes modified with glucose oxidase (GOx) have been prepared from poly(L-lysine) (polymer backbone), glutaraldehyde (cross-linking agent) and poly(ethylene glycol) units. To fabricate a GOx layer by applying cross-linking chemistries, the PDMS layer was treated with oxygen plasma to replace silane groups with silanol groups. Optimization for th...

Here, we report a new approach of glucose measurement by using a multilayer modified microcantilever. Glucose oxidase (GOx)/ polyethyleneimine (PEI) multilayer modified microcantilever underwent bending when it was exposed to glucose solutions. The magnitudes of bending were proportional to the concentrations of glucose. This technique provides a new platform for enzyme functionalized cantileve...

We report on a glucose oxidase (GOx)/polyelectrolyte (PE)/gold nanoparticle (AuNP) multilayer films that can be utilized as efficient glucose biosensors by layer-by-layer self-assembly method. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and UV-visible spectroscopy were adopted to monitor the regular growth of the multilayer films. The role of gold nanoparticles integrated in the multilayer fil...
