  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The swollen seeds ofOcimum basilicum consist of a hard core with a pectious porous outer layer to which urease was bound after epoxy activation, through ethylenediamine-glutaraldehyde arm. These seeds can serve as an inexpensive ready to use natural pellicular polysaccharide support for immobilizing enzymes.
