Research Abstract |
Novel hybrid biocatalyst has been developed composed of ionic liquids and microorganism for biofuel production. In biodiesel fuel production catalyzed by lipase-expressing whole-cell biocatalysts, addition of ionic liquid to the reaction mixture greatly enhanced the productivity of biodiesel fuel. Furthermore, modification of polymerized ionic liquid to cell immobilization matrix improved the biodiesel fuel production.
