Summary
Lipase fromC. cylindracea was covalently immobilised to a number of surface-treated ceramic supports (3–10 mg. (g dry wt support)−1). At room temperature, the immobilised lipase could convert R,S-citronellol and butyric acid to citronellyl butyrate at rates in the range 7–51 μmol. (mg lipase.min)−1. The lipase maintained 90–100% of its initial activity over a period of 150 days.
