An improved sol-gel process involving the use of hollow silica microspheres as a supporting additive was applied for the co-immobilization of whole cells of Escherichia coli with Chromobacterium violaceum ω-transaminase activity and Lodderomyces elongisporus with ketoreductase activity. The co-immobilized cells with two different biocatalytic activities could perform a cascade of reactions to convert racemic 4-phenylbutan-2-amine or heptan-2-amine into a nearly equimolar mixture of the corresponding enantiomerically pure R amine and S alcohol even in continuous-flow mode. The novel co-immobilized whole-cell system proved to be an easy-to-store and durable biocatalyst.

Yeast biocapsules are a novel immobilization technology that could be used in fermentation processes. They are spherical structures consisting of yeast cells encapsulated and attached to the hyphae of a filamentous fungus. Yeast biocapsules offer a cutting-edge approach to cell immobilization, with significant potential for advancing fermented food production.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the problem of lincomycin (LIN) contaminating pharmaceutical wastewater, which can harm municipal treatment facilities and the environment.
- Researchers developed a bacterium-microalgae consortium co-immobilized filter (BMCCF) to effectively remove LIN from artificial wastewater.
- The BMCCF showed a remarkable 98.54% removal efficiency of LIN in just 7 days, with less toxic degradation products, indicating its potential as a viable solution for treating high concentrations of LIN in wastewater.

Cancer vaccines based on single-source (exogenous or endogenous) tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) are often challenged by the insufficient T cell response and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a dual TAAs-boosted nanovaccine based on cancer cell (4T1) membrane-cloaked, CO-immobilized Prussian blue nanoparticles (4T1-PB-CO NPs) is developed and coupled with anti-interleukin (IL)-10 therapy to maximize the efficacy of antitumor immunotherapy. 4T1 cell membrane not only endows NPs with tumor targeting ability, but also serves as exogenous TAAs to trigger CD4 T cell response and M1-phenotype polarization of tumor-associated macrophages.

Small-diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts (sdTEVGs) have garnered significant attention as a potential treatment modality for vascular bypass grafting and replacement therapy. However, the intimal hyperplasia and thrombosis are two major complications that impair graft patency during transplantation. To address this issue, we fabricated the covalent-organic framework (COF)-based carbon monoxide (CO) nanogenerator-and co-immobilized with LXW-7 peptide and heparin to establish a multifunctional surface on TEVGs constructed from acellular blood vessels for preventing thrombosis and stenosis.

L-Lactate is an indicator of food quality, so its monitoring is essential. Enzymes of L-Lactate metabolism are promising tools for this aim. We describe here some highly sensitive biosensors for L-Lactate determination which were developed using flavocytochrome b (Fc) as a bio-recognition element, and electroactive nanoparticles (NPs) for enzyme immobilization.
