Application of Goat and Lamb Lipases on the Development of New Immobilized Biocatalysts Aiming at Fish Oil Hydrolysis.

The use of lipases from animal sources for the synthesis of new biocatalysts is barely studied in the literature. The present work focused on the immobilization of lipases from kid goat's and lamb's epiglottis in different ionic supports. For this, anionic supports (monoaminoethyl-N-aminoethyl-agarose (MANAE) and diethylaminoethyl-agarose (DEAE)) and cationic supports (carboxymethyl-agarose and sulfopropyl-agarose) were used.

Production of new nanobiocatalysts via immobilization of lipase B from C. antarctica on polyurethane nanosupports for application on food and pharmaceutical industries.

Nanobiocatalysts were produced via immobilization of CalB lipase on polyurethane (PU) based nanoparticles and their application on the synthesis of important industrial products was evaluated. Nanoparticles of polyurethane functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PU-PEG) were synthetized through miniemulsion polymerization and the addition of crosslinking agents were evaluated. The nanoparticles were employed as support for CalB and the kinetic parameters were reported.

Production of Omegas-6 and 9 from the Hydrolysis of Açaí and Buriti Oils by Lipase Immobilized on a Hydrophobic Support.

This paper describes a bioprocess to obtain omegas-6 and 9 from the hydrolysis of Açaí ( Martius) and Buriti oils by lipases immobilized on octyl-sepharose. For this, oils and butters were initially selected as the carbon source which resulted in higher production of lipases in and cultures. The carbon source that provided secretion of lipase by was Açaí oil, and for , Bacuri butter.

Bio-electro oxidation of indigo carmine by using microporous activated carbon fiber felt as anode and bioreactor support.

The bioremediation and electro-oxidation (EO) processes are included among the most promising cleaning and decontamination mechanisms of water. The efficiency of bioremediation is dictated by the biological actuator for a specific substrate, its suitable immobilization and all involved biochemical concepts. The EO performance is defined by the anode efficiency to perform the complete mineralization of target compounds and is highlighted by the low or null use of reagent.

Immobilization and Stabilization of Beta-Xylosidases from Penicillium janczewskii.

β-Xylosidases are critical for complete degradation of xylan, the second main constituent of plant cell walls. A minor β-xylosidase (BXYL II) from Penicillium janczewskii was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation (30% saturation) followed by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography in pH 6.5 and elution with KCl.

Optimization of the production and characterization of lipase from Candida rugosa and Geotrichum candidum in soybean molasses by submerged fermentation.

This present work describes the production and biochemical characterization of lipase by Candida rugosa and Geotrichum candidum in a culture supplemented with soybean molasses. After optimizing the fermentation times for both microorganisms, the effects of changing the soybean molasses concentration, the fermentative medium pH and the fermentation temperature were evaluated using the Central Composite Planning. When soybean molasses was used at a concentration of 200 g/L at 27 ± 1 °C and pH 3.

Characterization of a tannase from Emericella nidulans immobilized on ionic and covalent supports for propyl gallate synthesis.

The extracellular tannase from Emericela nidulans was immobilized on different ionic and covalent supports. The derivatives obtained using DEAE-Sepharose and Q-Sepharose were thermally stable from 60 to 75 °C, with a half life (t50) >24 h at 80 °C at pH 5.0.
