Abstract
The use of various immobilized biocatalysts in industrial research and production will be introduced. The applied catalysts span the range from isolated enzymes to microbial whole cells, and even examples of the use of plant cells and mammalian cells could be found. Approximately 65 processes have been reviewed in this article, roughly 50% of which are actual production processes in the chemical industry. The remaining 50% refer to biocatalytic transformations which were carried out at laboratory scale up to pilot scale. In this review special attention was drawn to the range of transformable substrates and the variety of different supports.
