Immobilization of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria in poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogels hydrophobized using a biosurfactant
چکیده انگلیسی

A simple biosurfactant-based hydrophobization procedure for poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) cryogels was developed allowing effective immobilization of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria. The resulting partially hydrophobized PVA cryogel granules (granule volume 5 μl) contained sufficient number (6.5 × 103) of viable bacterial cells per granule, possessed high mechanical strength and spontaneously located at the interface in water–hydrocarbon system. Such interfacial location of PVA granules allowed high contact of immobilized biocatalyst with hydrophobic substrate and water phase, thus providing bacterial cells with mineral and organic nutrients. As a result, n-hexadecane oxidation efficiency of 51% after 10-day incubation was achieved using immobilized biocatalyst. PVA cryogels with increased hydrophobicity can be used for immobilization of bacterial cultures performing oxidative transformations of water-immiscible organic compounds. Immobilization of in situ biosurfactant producing Rhodococcus bacteria into PVA cryogel is discussed. PVA cryogel granules with entrapped alkanotrophic rhodococcal cells were stable after 10-month storage at room temperature.
