N-acetyl-d-neuraminic acid aldolase, a key enzyme in the biotechnological production of N-acetyl-d-neuraminic acid (sialic acid) from N-acetyl-d-mannosamine and pyruvate, was immobilized as cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) by precipitation with 90% ammonium sulfate and crosslinking with 1% glutaraldehyde. Because dispersion in a reciprocating disruptor (FastPrep) was only able to recover 40% of the activity, improved CLEAs were then prepared by co-aggregation of the enzyme with 10 mg/mL bovine serum albumin followed by a sodium borohydride treatment and final disruption by FastPrep (FastPrep-CLEAs). This produced a twofold increase in activity up to 86%, which is a 30% more than that reported for this aldolase in cross-linked inclusion bodies (CLIBs). In addition, these FastPrep-CLEAs presented remarkable biotechnological features for Neu5Ac synthesis, including, good activity and stability at alkaline pHs, a high KM for ManNAc (lower for pyruvate) and good operational stability. These results reinforce the practicability of using FastPrep-CLEAs in biocatalysis, thus reducing production costs and favoring reusability.
► Neu5Ac aldolase was immobilized as cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs).
► Improved CLEAs with BSA, borohydride and FastPrep (FastPrep-CLEAs) were prepared.
► FastPrep-CLEAs have 30% more activity than cross-linked inclusion bodies.
► FastPrep-CLEAs were used for synthesis of sialic acid with good operational stability.
