Inulinase의 효율적인 재사용을 위하여 vinylsulfone activated agarose에 endo- 및 exoinulinase를 고정화시켰다. Gram gel당 exoinulinase는 400U, endoinulinase는 80U까지 고정화시킬 수가 있었고 열안정성은 exoinulinase 에서 증가되었다. 두 고정화 효소의 혼합비율에 따른 synergistic effect는 endo/exo가 0.5-0.1일 대 가장 컸으며, synergistic effect는 혼합되지 않은 상태의 고정화 효소에 비해 그 활성이 약 1.7배 증가하였다. 두 고정화 효소의 최적 pH는 4.4-5.0 범위이었으며 operational stability는 batch reactor에서 20번 반복된 실험결과 어떠한 효소활성의 감소도 보이지 않았다.
In order to reuse inulinase effectively, a method for immobilizing both endo- and exoinulinase to vinylsulfone activated agarose via covalent bond was investigated. The immobilized enzyme preparation had, respectively, 400 U for exoinulinase activity and 80 U for endoinu- Iinase activity per gram gel. A thermal stability by immobilization had increased in the case of exoinulinase. Optimum pHs for two immobilized enzymes were 4.4 to 5.0. Synergistic effect which depends on mixed ratio of two immobilized enzymes was the best when the mixed ratio of endo/exo lay between 0.1 and 0.5, and its activity of the mixed enzyme increased 1.7 times as compared to that of each immobilized enzyme. Inulinase activities of both of the immobilized enzymes did not change during 20 times experimental runs in a batch reactor.
