[Immobilization of cells by entrapping in aubasidan].
A new technique of immobilization of microbial cells by entrapping in aubasidan, a microbial polysaccharide, was developed. This technique was applied to three cultures: Erwinia aroidea, Pseudomonas sp., and Alcaligenes faecalis, the producers of aspartase and L-aspartate beta-decarboxylase. The new method is effective. After immobilization, microbial cells retained 79-91% of their initial enzymatic activity.
