ABSTRACT:
Microbial cells are immobilized by entrapment in gellan gum, also known as deacetylated heteropolysaccharide S-60. Entrapment can be carried out by forming a mixture of a paste of microbial cells and an aqueous solution of gellan gum and adding the mixture drop-wise to an aqueous solution of cations to produce beads of hardened gellan gum entrapping the microbial cells. The microbial cells preferably contain aspartase activity and can be E. coli ATCC 11303, and the cations are preferably magnesium ions. In an alternative embodiment, the mixture of microbial cell paste and aqueous gellan gum solution is admixed with a porous cationic exchange resin which is preferably in magnesium ion form and the microbial cells are entrapped in hardened gellan gum in and on the resin.
