Entrapment in LentiKats®

Encapsulation of various biocatalysts — bacteria, fungi, yeast or enzymes into polyvinyl alcohol based hydrogel particles

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Focus on Biotechnology ((FOBI,volume 8A))

Summary

In this paper LentiKats® are presented as an efficient and powerful alternative to traditional and established encapsulation carriers.

The introduction describes LentiKats® regarding appearance, properties and preparation. They are generally compared to other types of immobilised biocatalysts and potential advantages for application in bioconversion processes are depicted. Afterwards a number of examples for successful application of LentiKats® for various valorisation processes and also elimination processes are presented, including encapsulation of enzymes, bacteria, fungi, and yeasts.
