“…Ca‐alginate lost its activity after four reuses, similarly to previous reports 29. Therefore, the reusability of alginate‐bentonite biocatalysts was twofold greater than previously reported values using SrCl 2 as cross‐linking solution 22.…”

“…The elastic modulus of the bionanocomposite beads was close to 60 kPa. In previous works, an improved immobilization method using Sr‐alginate showed an elastic modulus higher than 20 kPa 22. Therefore, the Young's modulus value obtained for the bionanocomposite beads was by 160 % better than that for the improved condition previously reported 22.…”

Nanosized clay can act as a reinforcing agent and improve mechanical properties as a result of changes in the matrix structure.…”
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 physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and nontoxicity. Mechanical parameters such as swelling ratio, compressive strength, and fracture frequency were optimized, favoring scale-up. Moreover, storage stability and reusability of the biocatalysts were improved by more than 90 % compared with control conditions. In addition, immobilized lactic acid bacteria were used in the bioprocess scale-up to obtain floxuridine, showing a high productivity per gram of biocatalyst.

“…To carry out these bioprocesses under preparative conditions, microorganism immobilization is required to stabilize biocatalysts. Entrapment techniques are widely used for whole cell immobilization [12], providing bioprocess scale-up feasibility and biocatalyst reusability with high operational stability.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
