Bioprocess for Glycolic acid (GA) production from ethylene glycol by whole-cell catalysis of Gluconobacter oxydans is restrained by various biological impediments and high production costs. In this study, these limitations were subsided through the implementation of immobilized whole-cell bio-catalysis combined with increased oxygen supply. Results indicated that this strategy noticeably enhanced mass transfer efficiency, and prolonged cell life that significantly reduced the cost of biomass. Ultimately, with immobilized whole-cell catalysis in air-open and oxygen-open bioreactor, 41.3 and 66.9 g/L of GA was obtained within 48 h, with an increment of 62.0%. Additionally, in oxygen-compressed bioreactor, 63.3 g/L of GA was accumulated with the yield of 97.2%. Subsequently, 605.7 g of GA was produced after 10 rounds of recovery experiments. Although there was a slight decrease in GA production compared with pure-oxygen supply, production cost was reduced with limited oxygen supply. This strategy commendably demonstrated cost-practical bioprocess for GA production.

d-Tagatose, a rare sugar endowed with a low-calorie property, superior taste quality, and probiotic functionality, has garnered significant research attention. However, the prevailing biological production methods relying on β-galactosidase and l-arabinose isomerase face challenges including high cost and suboptimal conversion efficiency. Consequently, it is of great research significance to find efficient alternative routes for d-tagatose synthesis.

Enzyme immobilization is a crucial method in biotechnology and organic chemistry that significantly improves the stability, reusability, and overall effectiveness of enzymes across various applications. Lipases are one of the most frequently applied enzymes in food. The current study investigated the potential of utilizing selected agri-food and waste materials-buckwheat husks, pea hulls, loofah sponges, and yerba mate waste-as carriers for the immobilization of Sustine 121 lipase and yeast biomass as whole-cell biocatalyst and lipase sources.

In the present study, nutraceutical citrulline was produced using immobilization of permeabilized whole cells of Pseudomonas furukawaii, an efficient producer of ADI. Since arginine deiminase (ADI) is intracellularly localized, various additives such as SDS (Sodium dodecyl sulfate), Triton X-100, and EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) were used to permeabilize the cell to improve substrate accessibility and ADI activity. The maximum ADI activity was observed with 0.
