Abstract

Lipase immobilization offers unique advantages in terms of better process control, enhanced stability, predictable decay rates and improved economics. This work evaluated the immobilization of a highly active Yarrowia lipolytica lipase (YLL) by physical adsorption and covalent attachment. The enzyme was adsorbed on octyl-agarose and octadecyl-sepabeads supports by hydrophobic adsorption at low ionic strength and on MANAE-agarose support by ionic adsorption. CNBr-agarose was used as support for the covalent attachment immobilization. Immobilization yields of 71, 90 and 97% were obtained when Y. lipolytica lipase was immobilized into octyl-agarose, octadecyl-sepabeads and MANAE-agarose, respectively. However, the activity retention was lower (34% for octyl-agarose, 50% for octadecyl-sepabeads and 61% for MANAE-agarose), indicating that the immobilized lipase lost activity during immobilization procedures. Furthermore, immobilization by covalent attachment led to complete enzyme inactivation. Thermal deactivation was studied at a temperature range from 25 to 45°C and pH varying from 5.0 to 9.0 and revealed that the hydrophobic adsorption on octadecyl-sepabeads produced an appreciable stabilization of the biocatalyst. The octadecyl-sepabeads biocatalyst was almost tenfold more stable than free lipase, and its thermal deactivation profile was also modified. On the other hand, the Y. lipolytica lipase immobilized on octyl-agarose and MANAE-agarose supports presented low stability, even less than the free enzyme.
