Transcript

The overall goal of this experimental procedure is to demonstrate the use of a coupled whole cell biocatalytic system immobilized in alginate beads for improved production yield and reusability. This is my subject, I have answered key questions in

Summary

Presented is the protocol for co-immobilizing whole-cell biocatalysts for cofactor regeneration and improved reusability, using the production of L-xylulose as an example. The cofactor regeneration is achieved by coupling two Escherichia coli strains expressing functionally complementary enzymes; the whole-cell biocatalyst immobilization is achieved by cell encapsulation in calcium alginate beads.
