Synthesis of Organic Acids and Modification of Steroids by Immobilized Whole Microbial Cells

  • Chapter
Book cover Enzyme Engineering

Abstract

As part of our continued efforts to develop a technology based on collagen immobilized enzymes and whole microbial cells, we have investigated a number of reaction schemes catalyzed by collagen-whole cell complexes. We initiated our studies on immobilized whole cell systems with simple systems such as glucose isomerization which involve only a single enzymatic reaction. The encouraging results obtained in this case (production of high fructose syrup by immobilized Streptomyces venezuelae) (1,2) prompted us to examine other systems listed in Table 1.
