Immobilization of Dextranase Using Anionic Natural Polymer Alginate as a Matrix for the Degradation of a Long-Chain Biopolymer (Dextran) by Faiza Shahid, Afsheen Aman, Shah Ali Ul Qader

“…A sodium alginate concentration of 4.0% was noticed to be suitable along with a calcium chloride concentration of 0.2 molar after providing a curing time of 20 minutes. After comparing the characteristics of the entrapped enzyme with those of the soluble one, it was observed that the characteristics were more or less the same except for the change in reaction time which was noticed to be prolonged in the case of entrapped dextranase while the change in temperature and pH optima was not observed. …”
