      • The immobilization of whole cells involves the retention of catalytically active cells within a restricted region of a bioreactor. Techniques which have been used to immobilize whole cells include adsorption, aggregation, confinement and entrapment.

  2. Immobilization of whole cells is an alternative to enzyme immobilization and it is a well-developed method for the utilization of enzymes from microbes. Immobilization of whole cells become particularly effective when the individual enzymes become inactive during direct immobilization, or the isolation and purification of enzyme is not cost ...

  3. Immobilization of enzymes (or cells) refers to the technique of confining/anchoring the enzymes (or cells) in or on an inert support for their stability and functional reuse. By employing this technique, enzymes are made more efficient and cost-effective for their industrial use.

  4. Whole cell immobilization was defined as "the physical confinement or localization of intact cells to a certain region of a space with preservation of some desired catalytic activity", and is a process that often mimics what occurs naturally when cells grow on surfaces or within natural structures.

  5. Jun 6, 2012 · Immobilized biocatalysts can either be enzymes or whole cells (Kawaguti et al. 2006). Enzyme immobilization is confinement of enzyme to a phase (matrix/support) different from the one for substrates and products. Inert polymers and inorganic materials are usually used as carrier matrices.

  6. 2 days ago · Immobilization features attachment of enzymes (or whole cells) on insoluble supports or entrapment with-in the gel/membrane so that it may be separated after its reaction with the substrate and reused several times for metabolite production.

  7. Jan 1, 2016 · Enzymes and whole cells can be used as immobilized biocatalysts (Kawaguti, Manrich, & Sato, 2006). Enzyme immobilization may be defined as confining the enzyme molecules to a solid matrix/support different from the one in which substrate or the products are present.
