Abstract
Fibrous membranes offer broad opportunities to deploy immobilized enzymes in new reactor and application designs, including multiphase continuous flow-through reactions. Enzyme immobilization is a technology strategy that simplifies the separation of otherwise soluble catalytic proteins from liquid reaction media and imparts stabilization and performance enhancement. Flexible immobilization matrices made from fibers have versatile physical attributes, such as high surface area, light weight, and controllable porosity, which give them membrane-like characteristics, while simultaneously providing good mechanical properties for creating functional filters, sensors, scaffolds, and other interface-active biocatalytic materials. This review examines immobilization strategies for enzymes on fibrous membrane-like polymeric supports involving all three fundamental mechanisms of post-immobilization, incorporation, and coating. Post-immobilization offers an infinite selection of matrix materials, but may encounter loading and durability issues, while incorporation offers longevity but has more limited material options and may present mass transfer obstacles. Coating techniques on fibrous materials at different geometric scales are a growing trend in making membranes that integrate biocatalytic functionality with versatile physical supports. Biocatalytic performance parameters and characterization techniques for immobilized enzymes are described, including several emerging techniques of special relevance for fibrous immobilized enzymes. Diverse application examples from the literature, focusing on fibrous matrices, are summarized, and biocatalyst longevity is emphasized as a critical performance parameter that needs increased attention to advance concepts from lab scale to broader utilization. This consolidation of fabrication, performance measurement, and characterization techniques, with guiding examples highlighted, is intended to inspire future innovations in enzyme immobilization with fibrous membranes and expand their uses in novel reactors and processes.

Abstract
The objective of the present work was to develop biodegradable polymeric films (starch-PBAT) as support for the immobilization of lipases using sodium montmorillonite (MMT) as a reinforcing agent (2% w/w) and itaconic acid (IA - 0.5-1.5% w/w) as a compatibilizing agent. The films were produced through a two steps blow-extrusion. The addition of MMT increased the tensile strength and Tg of the films, while the presence of IA made the films more flexible, reducing their Tg. Lipases from Burkholderia cepacia LTEB11 were immobilized in the films by the adsorption method. The ester yield (% of ethyl oleate synthesis) has shown best results (96%, 6 h) for immobilized enzyme in the MMT film and six cycles of reuse were carried out until a reduction of 50% in the catalytic activity of the enzyme.

Abstract
In this chapter, we describe different approaches for the utilization of glutaraldehyde in protein immobilization. First, we focus on the covalent attachment of proteins to glutaraldehyde-activated matrixes. We describe conditions for the synthesis of such supports and provide an example of the immobilization and stabilization of a fructosyltransferase. We also describe how glutaraldehyde may be used for the cross-linking of protein-protein aggregates and protein adsorbed onto amino-activated matrixes. In these cases, glutaraldehyde bridges either two lysine groups from different protein molecules or a lysine from the protein structure and an amine group from the support. Examples of cross-linking are given for the immobilization of a D-amino acid oxidase on different amino-activated supports.

Abstract
In the present study, lipase production from mutated strain of Fusarium incarnatum KU377454 was optimized through central composite design (CCD) based response surface methodology (RSM). The maximum lipase production (4.01 IU/mL) was obtained within 4 days of incubation using 0.1% CaCl2 concentration and 8% wheat bran concentration. Further, salting out technique was applied for partial purification of lipase. The partially purified lipase was immobilized using Au@Ag bimetallic nanoshell. The characterization of immobilized lipase was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The immobilized lipase could retain its 95% of activity after 15 days of storage at 4 °C. Subsequently, Au@Ag immobilized lipase was used for the degradation of waste cooking oil (WCO), which showed higher WCO degradation (85%) compared to the free lipase mediated waste cooking oil degradation (71%). The immobilized lipase could be reused for five times without any loss of its activity.

Poly-lysine supported cross-linked enzyme aggregates of penicillin G acylase and its application in synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics. Int J Biol Macromol 2019; 140:423-428.

Abstract
Penicillin G acylase (PGA) from Providencia rettgeri PX04 (PrPGA) was utilized to synthesize β-lactam antibiotics. Poly-lysine supported cross-linked enzyme aggregates (PL-CLEAs) were prepared using PGA. Addition of poly-lysine significantly increased retention of PGA activity in CLEAs, with a decrease in the synthesis/hydrolysis (S/H) ratio. PL-CLEAs with 0.56 mg/mL poly-lysine retained 83% of free PGA activity, and displayed a higher S/H ratio than that of the free enzyme. Both PL-CLEAs and CLEAs exhibited high pH and thermal stabilities. PL-CLEAs possessed the best stability profile, and the lowest α value [(kcat/Km)Ps/(kcat/Km)AD], and was most effective at amoxicillin synthesis. A >94% yield of amoxicillin was achieved using a D-HPGME/6-APA ratio of 1.2:1 (240 mM, 200 mM), with fed-batch addition of D-HPGME. PL-CLEAs displayed excellent operational stability during amoxicillin synthesis. Over 97% of initial conversion was retained after twenty rounds of catalysis. PL-CLEAs exhibited greater potency than CLEAs in practical catalysis, permitting a higher concentration of reactants.

Abstract
Sucrose isomerase (SIase) is the key enzyme in the enzymatic synthesis of isomaltulose. Mesoporous titanium dioxide (M-TiO2) and ε-poly-L-lysine-functionalized M-TiO2 (EPL-M-TiO2) were prepared as carriers for immobilizing SIase. SIase was effectively immobilized on EPL-M-TiO2 (SI-EPL-M-TiO2) with an enzyme activity of 39.41 U/g, and the enzymatic activity recovery rate up to 93.26%. The optimal pH and temperature of immobilized SIase were 6.0 and 30° C, respectively. SI-EPL-M-TiO2 was more stable in pH and thermal tests than SIase immobilized on M-TiO2 and free SIase. K(m) of SI-EPL-M-TiO2 was 204.92 mmol/L, and vmax was 45.7 μmol/L/s. Batch catalysis reaction of sucrose by SI-EPL-M-TiO2 was performed under the optimal conditions. The half-life period of SI-EPL-M-TiO2 under continuous reaction was 114 h, and the conversion rate of sucrose after 16 batches consistently remained at around 95%, which indicates that SI-EPL-M-TiO2 has good operational stability. Thus, SI-EPL-M-TiO2 can be used as a biocatalyst in food industries.

Abstract
Several inorganic materials are potentially suitable for enzymatic covalent immobilization, by means of several different techniques. Such materials must meet stringent criteria to be suitable as solid matrices: complete insolubility in water, reasonable mechanical strength and chemical resistance under the operational conditions, the capability to form manageable particles with high surface area, reactivity towards derivatizing/functionalizing agents. Non-specific protein adsorption should be always considered when planning covalent immobilization on inorganic solids. A huge mass of experimental work has shown that silica, silicates, borosilicates and aluminosilicates, alumina, titania, and other oxides, are the materials of choice when attempting enzyme immobilizations on inorganic supports. More recently, some forms of elemental carbon, silicon, and certain metals have been also proposed for certain applications. With regard to the derivatization/functionalization techniques, the use of organosilanes through silanization is undoubtedly the most studied and the most applied, although inorganic bridge formation and acylation with selected acyl halides have been deeply studied. In the present article, the most common inorganic supports for covalent immobilization of the enzymes are reviewed, with particular focus on their advantages and disadvantages in terms of enzyme loadings, operational stability, undesired adsorption, and costs. Mechanisms and methods for covalent immobilization are also discussed, focusing on the most widespread activating approaches (such as glutaraldehyde, cyanogen bromide, divinylsulfone, carbodiimides, carbonyldiimidazole, sulfonyl chlorides, chlorocarbonates, N-hydroxysuccinimides).

Abstract
Clinical management of diabetes must overcome the challenge of in vivo glucose sensors exhibiting lifetimes of only a few days. Limited sensor life originates from compromised enzyme stability of the sensing enzyme. Sensing enzymes degrade in the presence of low molecular weight materials (LMWM) and hydrogen peroxide in vivo. Sensing enzymes could be made to withstand these degradative effects by (1) stabilizing the microenvironment surrounding the sensing enzyme or (2) improving the structural stability of the sensing enzyme genetically. We review the degradative effect of LMWM and hydrogen peroxide on the sensing enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx). In addition, we examine advances in stabilizing GOx against degradation using hybrid silica gels and genetic engineering of GOx. We conclude molecularly engineered GOx combined with silica-based encapsulation provides an avenue for designing long-term in vivo sensor systems.

Abstract
In a number of different applications for enzymes and specific binding proteins a key technology is the immobilization of these proteins to different types of supports. In this work we describe a concept for protein immobilization that is based on nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). NFC is a form of cellulose where fibers have been disintegrated into fibrils that are only a few nanometers in diameter and have a very large aspect ratio. Proteins were conjugated through three different strategies using amine, epoxy, and carboxylic acid functionalized NFC. The conjugation chemistries were chosen according to the reactive groups on the NFC derivatives; epoxy amination, heterobifunctional modification of amino groups, and EDC/s-NHS activation of carboxylic acid groups. The conjugation reactions were performed in solution and immobilization was performed by spin coating the protein-NCF conjugates. The structure of NFC was shown to be advantageous for both protein performance and stability. The use of NFC allows all covalent chemistry to be performed in solution, while the immobilization is achieved by a simple spin coating or spreading of the protein-NFC conjugates on a support. This allows more scalable methods and better control of conditions compared to the traditional methods that depend on surface reactions.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (SMN) were surface-modified with gluconic acid (GLA) to improve their hydrophilicity and bio-affinity. Gluconic acid was successfully coated on the surface of magnetite nanoparticles and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). With water-soluble carbodiimide (EDC) as the coupling reagent, lipase was successfully immobilized onto the hydroxyl-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. The immobilized lipase had better resistance to temperature and pH inactivation in comparison to the free form and hence widened the reaction pH and temperature range. Thermostability and storage stability of the enzyme improved upon covalent immobilization. Immobilized lipase showed higher activity after recycling when compared to the free one and could be recovered by magnetic separation.

Abstract
The extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory was applied to explain the hydrophobic interaction-mediated adhesion of Pseudomonas putida NCIB 9816-4 to soil. Soil particles are heterogeneous, and it is difficult to define consistent physico-chemical properties such as a contact angle and zeta potential. Hence, a silica gel and a silanized (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-coated) silica gel, which showed greater hydrophobicity than the unmodified silica gel, were used as model soils. Gibbs energies for the cell adhesion to the silica gels were calculated with the physico-chemical properties of the microbes and the silica gels and then plotted as a function of the separation distance. The extended DLVO theory successfully explained that the adhesion of P. putida NCIB 9816-4 to the silica gel, a model soil, was primarily caused by hydrophobic interaction.

Abstract
Material systems are needed that promote stabilization of entrained molecules, such as enzymes or therapeutic proteins, without destroying their activity. We demonstrate that the unique structure of silk fibroin protein, when assembled into the solid state, establishes an environment that is conducive to the stabilization of entrained proteins. Enzymes (glucose oxidase, lipase, and horseradish peroxidase) entrapped in these films over 10 months retained significant activity, even when stored at 37 degrees C, and in the case of glucose oxidase did not lose any activity. Further, the mode of processing of the silk protein into the films could be correlated to the stability of the enzymes. The relationship between processing and stability offers a large suite of conditions within which to optimize such stabilization processes. Overall, the techniques reported here result in materials that stabilize enzymes to an extent, without the need for cryoprotectants, emulsifiers, covalent immobilization, or other treatments. Further, these systems are amenable to optical applications and characterization, environmental distribution without refrigeration, are ingestible, and offer potential use in vivo, because silk materials are biocompatible and FDA approved, degradable with proteases, and currently used in biomedical devices.

Abstract
A novel support has been utilized for immobilization of lipase, which was prepared by amination of silica with ethanolamine followed by cross linking with glutaraldehyde. Lipases from Rhizopus oryzae 3562 and Enterobacter aerogenes were immobilized on activated silica gel, where they retained 60 and 50% of respective original activity. The thermal stability of the immobilized lipases was significantly improved in comparison to the free forms while the pH stability remained unchanged. E. aerogenes and R. oryzae 3562 lipases retained 75 and 97% of respective initial activity on incubation at 90 degrees C, whereas both the free forms became inactive at this temperature. The conversion yield of isoamyl acetate was found to be higher with the immobilized fungal (90 vs. 21%) and bacterial lipases (64 vs. 18%) than the respective free forms. Immobilized R. oryzae 3562 lipases retained 50% activity for isoamyl acetate synthesis up to ten cycles whereas it was eight cycles for E. aerogenes.

Abstract
The enzyme penicillin G acylase (PGA) is not adsorbed at pH 7 on DEAE- or PEI-coated supports, neither is it adsorbed on carboxymethyl (CM)- or dextran sulfate (DS)-coated supports. The surface of the enzyme was chemically modified under controlled conditions: chemical amination of the protein surface of carboxylic groups (using soluble carbodiimide and ethylendiamine) and chemical succinylation (using succinic anhydride) of amino groups. The full chemical modification produced some negative effects on enzyme stability and activity, although partial modification (mainly succinylation) presented negligible effects on both enzyme features. The chemical amination of the protein surface permitted the immobilization of the enzyme on CM- and DS-coated support, while the chemical succinylation permitted the enzyme immobilization on DEAE- and PEI-coated supports. Immobilization was very strong on these supports, mainly in the polymeric ones, and dependent on the degree of modification, although the enzymes still can be desorbed after inactivation by incubation under drastic conditions. Moreover, the immobilization on ionic polymeric beds allowed a significant increase in enzyme stability against the inactivation and inhibitory effects of organic solvents, very likely by the promotion of a certain partition of the organic solvent out of the enzyme environment. These results suggest that the enrichment of the surface of proteins with ionic groups may be a good strategy to take advantage of the immobilization of industrial enzymes via ionic exchange on ionic polymeric beds.

Abstract
The stabilization achieved by different immobilization protocols have been compared using three different enzymes (glutaryl acylase (GAC), D-aminoacid oxidase (DAAO), and glucose oxidase (GOX)): adsorption on aminated supports, treatment of this adsorbed enzymes with glutaraldehyde, and immobilization on glutaraldehyde pre-activated supports. In all cases, the treatment of adsorbed enzymes on amino-supports with glutaraldehyde yielded the higher stabilizations: in the case of GOX, a stabilization over 400-fold was achieved. After this treatment, the enzymes could no longer be desorbed from the supports using high ionic strength (suggesting the support-protein reaction). Modification of the enzymes immobilized on supports that did not offer the possibility of react with glutaraldehyde showed the same stability that the non modified preparations demonstrating that the mere chemical modification did not have effect on the enzyme stability. This simple strategy seems to permit very good results in terms of immobilization rate and stability, offering some advantages when compared to the immobilization on glutaraldehyde pre-activated supports.

Abstract
New polymer/silica gel hybrid supports were prepared by coating high surface area of silica gel with modified acrylonitrile copolymer. The concentrations of the modifying agent (NaOH) and the modified polymer were varied. GOD was covalently immobilized on these hybrid supports and the relative activity and the amount of bound protein were determined. The highest relative activity and sufficient amount of bound protein of the immobilized GOD were achieved in 10% NaOH and 2% solution of modified acrylonitrile copolymer. The influence of glutaraldehyde concentration and the storage time on enzyme efficiency were examined. Glutaraldehyde concentration of 0.5% is optimal for the immobilized GOD. It was shown that the covalently bound enzyme (using 0.5% glutaraldehyde) had higher relative activity than the activity of the adsorbed enzyme. Covalently immobilized GOD with 0.5% glutaraldehyde was more stable for four months in comparison with the one immobilized on pure silica gel, hybrid support with 10% glutaraldehyde and the free enzyme. The effect of the pore size on the enzyme efficiency was studied on four types of silica gel with different pore size. Silica with large pores (CPC-Silica carrier, 375 A) presented higher relative activity than those with smaller pore size (Silica gel with 4, 40 and 100 A). The amount of bound protein was also reduced with decreasing the pore size. The effect of particle size was studied and it was found out that the smaller the particle size was, the greater the activity and the amount of immobilized enzyme were. The obtained results proved that these new polymer/silica gel hybrid supports were suitable for GOD immobilization.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilisation is experiencing an important transition. Combinatorial approaches are increasingly applied in the design of robust immobilised enzymes by rational combination of fundamental immobilisation techniques (i.e. non-covalent adsorption, covalent binding, entrapment and encapsulation) or with other relevant technologies. The objective is to solve specific problems that cannot be solved by one of these basic immobilisation techniques.

Abstract
A novel reactive perstraction system has been developed based on liquid-core capsules, involving an enzyme-catalyzed reaction coupled with simultaneous in situ product recovery. Lipase-catalyzed reactions, hydrolysis of triprionin and nitrophenyl laurate, were selected to test the system and demonstrate the feasibility of immobilization of enzymes to the membranes of liquid-core capsules and the ability to extract hydrophobic products of the reaction within the capsule core. The lipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized to the microcapsules by adsorption and by covalent binding through activation with glutaraldehyde. In both cases improved temperature and operational stability were achieved. Both types of immobilization resulted in a basic shift of the pH optimum for activity, from 7.5 to 9.0. The presence of an organic phase within the capsule core allowed direct product separation and lead to a decrease in product inhibition of the lipase-catalyzed reaction.
