Abstract

The formation of a composite gel fiber from cellulose acetate and zirconium tetra-n-butoxide was examined. The gel was thought to have formed by the coordination of OH and CO groups of cellulose to zirconium, taking six coordination numbers around the zirconium. The gel fiber had good stability in common solvents, phosphate solution, and electrolyte solution. Then, under mild conditions, a β-galactosidase was entrap-immobilized on it. The apparent Michaelis constant of the Immobilized β-galactosidase was larger than that of native β-galactosidase, whereas the opposite tendency was observed for the maximum reaction velocity. The activity of the immobilized β-galactosidase increased as the fiber diameter decreased. These findings indicated that lactose hydrolysis took place in the vicinity of the fiber surface. The immobilized β-galactosidase had a higher thermal stability than the native type.
