Research Abstract

The authors investigated optimal preparation conditions of PVA encapsulation and immobilization of biocatalysts. Toluene-permeabilized cells of Escherichia coli having beta-galactosidase was encapsulated in PVA capsule and kinetic properties of the enzyme were determined assuming Michaelis-Menten and competitive inhibition kinetics. The reduction of Vm is due to inactivation of the enzyme. The Km and Ki of the immobilized enzyme were larger than that of the free enzyme. The increases may have been the contribution by PVA in the core of the capsule, because increases in Km and Ki of the free enzyme by addition of PVA into a reaction mixture was observed. Thus, the immobilization of the enzyme reduced the affinity between the enzyme and substrate. The stability of PVA-encapsulated enzyme was considerably affected by the preparation conditions.
The recombinant bacteria were immobilized in PVA capsule and enzyme proteins were produced. This indicates that the proteins can permeate the membrane of a PVA capsule. The productivities of the enzyme were affected by the preparation conditions.
