Immobilization of microbial cells containing NAD-kinase

Biotechnol Bioeng. 1979 Jun;21(6):1019-30. doi: 10.1002/bit.260210607.

Abstract

Microbial cells having NAD-kinase activity, Brevibacterium ammoniagenes, were immobilized by the radiation-copolymerization method under low temperature with the activity recovery of more than 80%. Compared to the native microbial cells the immobilized cells were more stable against heat and pH change. The immobilized cells were subjected to the 5 hr reaction repeatedly 20 times without any activity loss.
