Resumen:
A keratinolytic serine protease from Purpureocillium
lilacinum LPS # 876, purified from submerged cultures, using hair waste as
substrate, was immobilized on chitosan beads. Glutaraldehyde and genipin were
tested as potential cross-linkers. Immobilization conditions were optimized by
one-factor at-a-time strategy. Yields of immobilized enzyme obtained from this
study were over 90% for all concentrations of glutaraldehyde tested and with a maximum
(92%) for genipin. The enzyme loading capacity was about 27 % for
glutaraldehyde and was independent from the cross-linker concentration. But,
when genipin wastested, this parameter increased as the concentration of the
cross-linker was increased and the temperature was decreased. Although yields
of immobilized enzyme were similar for both cross-linkers, enzyme activity on
chitosan beads was higher when genipin was used as crosslinker. For this
reason, genipin was selected as the cross-linker for keratinase immobilization.
The immobilized keratinase retained 100% of its initial activity after 3 cycles
of azocasein hydrolysis.
