Immobilization of Chloroperoxidase from Serratia marcescens

A bacterial non-heme chloroperoxidase from Serratia marcescensW 250 was immobilized in calcium alginate gel. Methods for stabilization of the immobilized enzyme were developed, and some kinetic parameters of the immobilized preparations were determined. The enzyme encapsulated into the gel granules in the presence of potassium ferricyanide followed by treatment with glutaraldehyde demonstrated the highest stability under the reaction conditions.
