Immobilization of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase on a new hydrophobic support (Streamline phenyl™): Strategies to improve stability and reusability.

This paper establishes an efficient protocol for the immobilization of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) on a hydrophobic resin, Streamline phenyl. The biocatalyst produced by TLL immobilization on Streamline phenyl resin was named iTLL. In addition, strategies to improve stability and reusability of iTLL were performed using polyethylenimine (PEI) or/and glutaraldehyde (GA), producing iTLL-GA, iTLL-PEI, iTLL-PEI-GA biocatalysts.
