Sporopollenin as an efficient green support for covalent immobilization of a lipase

Abstract

Aminoalkyl functionalised sporopollenin exine capsules have been used to immobilizeCandida antarcticalipase B using a covalent diimine-based linker.

Eco-friendly streamlined process for sporopollenin exine capsule extraction

“…Several L. clavatum SEC extraction processes have been developed involving acetolysis, mild enzymatic chemical treatments, or aggressive non-oxidative reagents 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 35 36 37 . However, acetone defatting, KOH reflux, and phosphoric acid reflux is preferred due to its convenience and utilization of non-toxic and inexpensive reagents 7 .…”

Encapsulation of erythromycin and bacitracin antibiotics into natural sporopollenin microcapsules: antibacterial, cytotoxicity,in vitroandin vivorelease studies for enhanced bioavailability

“…[6][7][8] It was suggested that harsh chemical extraction can denature sporopollenin, 9 therefore, possible structure and/or morphology alternations have to be taken into account when one makes a comparison between empty sporopollenin originated from different plant species and extracted through different protocols. Due to their resilience, consistency in size and unique morphology, sporopollenin have recently attracted intriguing attention for a wide range of applications acting as either microparticles (as solid support) [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] or microcapsules (for diverse encapsulation of materials). 3,[17][18][19][20][21][22] The majority of research concerning sporopollenin has arisen from the thickshelled ($1.5 mm) S-type species of Lycopodium clavatum L. spores (common club moss or ground pine).…”

Microwave assisted one-pot green synthesis of cinnoline derivatives inside natural sporopollenin microcapsules

“…[4][5][6] In addition, the core removal produces allergen-free sporopollenin having a large cage ready for encapsulation. 7 Due to its remarkable resilience, biocompatibility, uniformity in size and abundancy, sporopollenin has recently gained intriguing attention in different potential applications acting as either microparticles (as a solid support) [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] or microcapsules (for various encapsulations of materials). 2,7,[15][16][17][18] The majority of research involving sporopollenin has utilised the thick-shelled ($1.5 mm) S-type species of Lycopodium clavatum L. spores (common club moss).…”
