  Catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) is a metalloenzyme belonging to the class of oxidoreductases which catalyze the degradation of hydrogen peroxide into dioxygen and water. Catalase, an important enzyme in the world market has wide range of industrial applications. In one of the important application, it is used to degrade unused hydrogen peroxide from wastewater released after bleaching operations in the textile industry. The use of catalase enzyme in soluble form is not feasible because of many economical and technical limitations. Therefore, the use of immobilized whole cells of bacterium having intracellular catalase activity is advantageous due to their repeated use, but it suffers from a drawback of instability and leakage of cells after some time. In the present study, sodium alginate beads used to immobilize Bacillus sp. TE-5 cells was modified to inc.. Read More»
