Immobilization of lipase from Burkholderia cepacia into calcium carbonate microcapsule and its use for enzymatic reactions in organic and aqueous media

- Lipase was immobilized in vaterite calcium carbonate microcapsule.
- Immobilized lipase catalyzed the transesterification of an alcohol in organic media.
- Immobilized lipase catalyzed the hydrolysis of an acetate in aqueous media.
- Vaterite microcapsule encapsulating lipase was a recyclable even in aqueous media.
- Zinc treatment increased the recyclability by preventing vaterite phase transition.
