Immobilization of Amano lipase AK from Pseudomonas fluorescens on different types of chitosan-containing supports: use in the kinetic resolution of rac-indanol

Effect of Different TiO2 Morphologies on the Activity of Immobilized Lipase for Biodiesel Production

“…Recently, great achievements have been noticed at the synergistic action of biotechnology with nanotechnology by applying modern nanoparticles as a support in the immobilization process. Lipase can be immobilized on different supports such as graphene oxide (GO), iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles, and graphene oxide/iron oxide (GO/Fe 3 O 4 ) nanocomposites, silica aerogel, different types of chitosan, hybrid zinc oxide–iron oxide (ZnOFe) magnetic nanoparticles, polydopamine-coated iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 _PDA_lipase), flexible nanoporous materials, Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 -based inorganic hybrid nanoflower, polyurethane nanosupports, silica magnetic nanoparticles, and titanate and TiO 2 nanoparticles. ,− Nanoparticles are considered as an ideal support in immobilization since they supply better selectivity along with thermal stability, higher enzymatic activity, easy recovery and purification, very small size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, high adsorption ability, and adaptability toward a wider pH range. , Using nanoparticles reduces the diffusion hindrance, leading to the availability of high concentrations of the immobilized biocatalysts compared to the enzymes immobilized onto larger materials.…”
