Cellulase Immobilization on Nano-carriers for Reuse in Cellulose Hydrolysis |
摘要: |
Project objectives are as follows: (1) Develop methods to immobilize cellulases on magnetically separable nano-carriers. (2) Investigate the activities of immobilized cellulases in cellulose hydrolysis. (3) Evaluate the reusability of immobilized cellulases in cellulose hydrolysis. The proposed research combines the hydrophilic cellulase conjugation with the magnetic cellulase separation, which offers the dual benefits of cellulase activity retention and efficient cellulase recovery. The project team expects the cellulase recovery with activity retained to greatly lower the enzyme cost and improve the enzyme conversion efficiency in cellulosic biofuel production. Expected outcomes are as follows: (1) Development of immobilized cellulases for cellulose hydrolysis. (2) Magnetic separation of cellulases for reuse in cellulose hydrolysis. (3) Understanding of cellulase activity and reusability in cellulose hydrolysis. |
