Mass‐transfer effects on the rate of isomerization of D‐glucose into D‐fructose, catalyzed by whole‐cell immobilized glucose isomerase

Abstract: The investigated catalyst system consists of immobilized Arthrobacter cells containing the enzyme glucose isomerase, which catalyzes the isomerization of glucose into fructose. The internal structure of the catalyst was determined from electrom microscope photographs of replicas of freeze-etched catalyst. On the basis of the photographs a model for the internal structure of the catalyst was proposed. This structure was subsequently used to describe the reaction including mass-transfer effects. It appeared that… Show more

“…Furthermore, in Table 1 , beads with 0.8 mm size have higher yield than 2 mm type at all flow rate and glucose concentration due to reduction of intra-phase mass transfer limitations. Reduction in size of beads until no longer intra-phase mass transfer limitations exists, enhances the ethanol productivity which was also observed by (Duarte et al 2013 ; Pilkington et al 1998 ; Boersma et al 1979 ). Furthermore in both types of beads, the addition of glucose has also been observed to have an effect on the ethanol productivity that might be due to increased substrate diffusional resistance and development of concentration gradient.…”

“…Most of the published work on GI reactor are about developing kinetic equation for the immobilized enzyme [2,3,4]. Little is published about the effect of temperature on the reaction kinetics [5) 6] and reactor performance and very few papers considered the effect of substrate protection [7,8,9].…”

“…Therefore in our laboratory systematic investigations have been carried out into the stability of an immobilized whole cell glucose isomerase catalyst, the initial kinetics of which we investigated before (Boersma et al, 1979;Kikkert et al, 1981; Van Keulen et al, 1981). In the catalyst used the glucose isomerase is immobilized within the cells while the cells are immobilized as well ( Van Keulen et al, 1981).…”

“…Overall, the isomerization reaction may be considered to comprise the following steps (Boersma et al, 1979): (a) substrate transfer from the bulk of the liquid to the external surface of the catalyst particles, (b) substrate transfer to the cells through the pores of a particle, (c) substrate transfer through the wall and membrane of an Arthrobacter cell, (d) substrate transfer to the intracellular glucose isomerase, (e) reversible isomerization of glucose into fructose, and (f)-(i) product transfer from the enzyme to the bulk of the liquid.…”
