Bionanocomposites employing natural polysaccharides such as alginate and nanoclays, e.g., bentonite, are a promising alternative to developing stabilized biocatalysts used in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ...

The biocatalyzed synthesis of purine nucleosides and their analogs is a case widely studied due to the high pharmaceutical interest of these compounds, providing the whole-cell biocatalysts, a useful tool for this purpose. ...

In our previous study, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (R. mucilaginosa) was selected via high throughput screening as a very active and selective whole-cell biocatalyst for the asymmetric reduction of ketones. In this study, the ...

A biocatalyst was obtained by immobilizing an enological commercial pectinase within calcium alginate hydrogels using an entrapment technique, and its catalytic activity was evaluated during different storage conditions. ...

The aim of enzyme immobilization is to develop a robust biocatalyst able to work under inonnative and harsh operational conditions with an extended lifetime. Biocatalyst immobilization can be defined as physical confinement ...

Lipases are enzymes employed in several industrial process and their applicability can be increased if these biocatalysts are in the immobilize form. The objective of this work was to study the immobilization of lipase ...

Lattice-shaped geopolymers were successfully prepared by Direct Ink Writing to act as carriers for the immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL). The supported biocatalyst was evaluated in the hydrolysis of waste cooking ...

For producing second-generation ethanol (cellulosic ethanol) and other value-added bioproducts, magnetic graphene oxide (GO-MNP) was synthesized in this work and used as the immobilization support for an industrial ...
