Catalytic properties of the immobilized Aspergillus tamarii xylanase

Abstract: Xylanase from Aspergillus tamarii was covalently immobilized on Duolite A147 pretreated with the bifunctional agent glutaraldehyde. The bound enzyme retained 54.2% of the original specific activity exhibited by the free enzyme (120 U/mg protein). Compared to the free enzyme, the immobilized enzyme exhibited lower optimum pH, higher optimum reaction temperature, lower energy of activation, higher Km (Michaelis constant), lower Vmax (maximal reaction rate). The half-life for the free enzyme was 186.0, 93.0, and … Show more

“…This could be due to lower diffusion of high molecular mass substrate into immobilized beads. A similar effect was also noticed when high molecular weight substrates were used including xylan (Gouda and Abdel-Naby 2002;Dalal et al 2007). It is also reported earlier that both kinetic parameters were increased after immobilization of xylanase when adsorption technique was employed.…”

“…An Arrhenius plot of logarithm of inactivation constant (k i ) against the reciprocal of the absolute temperature showed higher values of activation energy for the immobilized xylanase (227 kcal/mol) as compared to free xylanase (210 kcal/mol) confirming lesser temperature sensitivity for the immobilized xylanase. A similar increase in thermostability has been reported by Gouda & Abdel-Naby (2002).…”

“…Increased thermostability of xylanase after immobilization on aluminum oxide pellets was also recorded by Nagar et al (2012b). Immobilization of an enzyme often protects it against heat inactivation (Gouda and Abdel-Naby 2002). The improved temperature stability of xylanase may boost its suitability for industrial application.…”
