additional information immobilization and stabilization of Escherichia coli cells in 8.0% polyvinyl alcohol and 1.0% sodium alginate copolymer recombinantly expressing the Acidovorax facilis nitrilase for stable production of iminoacetic acid, method optimization, overview. Maximum relative nitrilase activity with 1.0% CaCl2, and 5.0% wet cells, with 1.0% iminodiacetonitrile in distilled water at 40°C. Substrate specificity of immobilized and free cells, overview. Ca2+ can stabilize the cells, but is toxic at concentrations above 1% leading to a sharp decrease in nitrilase activity of immobilized cells. Immobilized and free cells display different sensitivity towards temperatures ranging from 25°C to 70°C, with optimal tempartures of 40°C and 45°C, respectively. Comparison of operational and storage stability of free and immobilized cells, overview Acidovorax facilis

Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Ca2+ at concentrations of CaCl2 of 1.0-5.0%, the activity of nitrilase decreases sharply, higher concentration of CaCl 2 seem to have a poisoning effect on the cells Acidovorax facilis
