ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:

The present relates to a method for immobilization of glucose isomeraze active microbial cells wherein the glutaric aldehyde-induced polymerization is performed in the presence of a proteinous carrier, comprising in that said proteinous carrier is blood serum or blood plasma.

This invention relates to a me-thod for immobilization of mic~
robial cells which possess a glucose isomeraze acti~ity7wherein a glutaric aldehyde-induced polymerization is performed in the pre-sence of a proteinous carrier.
In accordance with Bax-ter ~ab. patent j5/a cross~ king poly~
merization o~ the cells is carried out in the presence.of a diazo ated di~mino compoun~,~such as 2~6 diaminopyridine~3,6-diaminoacr ..-idine,etc.7said compound holding of ~rom 1 up to 3 heteroatomic rings.
In the continuous process of isomerization of glucose into frllc-tose,thermall~ treated whoie cells of .~r-throbacter ~Jere used by ~loyd et al,J6/~

~ hole oells of streptomycetes such as D~ cellulose or ECT~O~
cellulose have been immobîlized by ion exchange/4~9/~Immo~iliga-tion can be achieved also on a collagen gel wi~h a subsequent sur face treatment of the mix~ure so obtained with glutaric aldehyde so as to make said mixture insoluble/7/.
Direct thermal treat~ent of the cells,which is carried out in order to reduce t''le permeability o the cell membrane,usually re-sults in a product of both low acti~ity and short life time under co~ditions of the polymerization process.The immobolizytion of cells~such as D~AE cellulose/ using ion exchangers results in a gradual wa~hing-out of the enzymatic activity o~ the substrate so-lutionOThe same ef~ect is observed if the cells are im~obilized in a gel str-lcture as a polyacrylamide or collagen~
Usually,most stable preparations of immobilized enzymes are obtained by a covalent bonding of reactive groups located at the surface of the cell membrane.Similar methods have been used also for immobilization of glucose~isomeraze active cells.The process of polymeri~ation using diazoated diamines leads to a good recove-rg of the cell activity but is restricted by the high toxicity and cancerogenity of the reagents used/i~e. 2D6~diaminopyridine,~6 diaminoacx idine/.The direct polymerization of the cells accom~
plished by glutaric aldeh-yde treatment~leads to a low degree o~
polymerization due to the lack of ~ree reacti~e groups on the cell surfaceOTherefore,it is not possible one to achieve suf~icien tly ~ross~ ked structure required for a bet-ter contact between . .~ .

the substrate and the enzyme to be immobilized. The method enclosed in the above said patent does not ensure a possibility for standardization of the final product, Experiments on immobilization of glucose-isomeraze active cells onto blood fractions have been carried out/i.e. the fifth fraction after Kon, fibrine/ but no preparations of good activities were obtained thereby/4,10/.
The task of this invention is to provide a method for immobili~ation of glucose-isomeraze active microbial cells using easily available proteinous carrier, said method resulting in both high active and stable preparations required for the production of high fructose syrups by means of a continuous technological process.
The present invention provides a process for the immobilization of glucose isomerase active microbial cells which comprises carrying out glutaric aldehyde-induced polymerization of the cells into a network structure in the presence of a proteinaceous carrier which comprises either blood serum or blood plasma.
In accordance with the invention the blood serum or blood plasma may be used in a spray dried, lyophilised or froxen state, In accordance with the invention the weight ratio between the microbial cells and the quantity by volume of blood serum or blood plasma (g/cc) may be in the range of from 1:1 to 1:10.
In accordance with the invention, for the polymerization, the blood serum or plasma may be adjusted to a ccncentration of 10-12% dry mattex.
In another aspect, the present invention provides glucose isomerase active microbial cells which have been im~lobilised by a process as defined above.
In accordance with a further aspect the present invention provides a process for carrying out 3S isomerisation of glucose to ~ructose which comprises ..

In the development of the present invention, glutaric aldehyde-induced polymerization of glucose-isomeraze active cells was used. It was established that when the glutaric aldehyde-induced polymerization is performed in the presence of blood serum or blood plasma as a proteinous carrier, a glucose-isomeraze active preparation is obtained. The blood serum or blood plasma taken from healthy slouther live stock/ i.e. flocks and herbs, swines, etc.j should conform with the veterinary-sanitary requirements and may be used in a cooled, lyophilized or dried state. In the two second cases, the blood serum or plasma should be preliminary dissolved in water and adjusted to a concentration of 10-12% dry matter.
The polymerization product is water rinsed. Then, the product as washed or after being freezed at a temperature of from -5 to -10C for a time of 12 hours is pressed, granulated and dried at temperatures not exceeding 50C
und~r vacuum or in dry air stream.
In addition to the granular form, the dried preparation can be ~

// , ;~, used in its milled and screened form,selecting the fraction of 1G-30 mesh.
The immobilized prepara-tion so obtained is filled into the reac~
tion column or ba~ery of columns where it is treated with a 2-3M
glucose solution con-tai7~ng activators/i.e~ Mg and Co ions in op-timal concentration accordin~ -to~the en~yme used/ at a temperature o~ from 45 up to 75C.r~he rate of substrate filling is adjusted so as to achieve a 40-50% transformation of the glucose into fructose /i.e. the equilibrium of the isomerization reaction/.
~ he glucose-isomeraze activity in the column or battery of co-lumns and the life time of -the enzyme ~reparation are function of the duration of contact between the enzyme an~ substrate/i.e. of the column flow rate/,temperature~activity and quantity o~ the preparation used as well as of the presence of activators/i.e. mag~

Compared with the well known in the practice preparations,the enzyme immobilized preparations so obtained possess the following advantages: ~igh activity per gram of immobo~ zed preparation /150-200 GIU/g i; ~avourable pH-optimum /79G/9high temperature op-timum ~70-75C/ and considerable thermal stability at temperatures o* from 45 up to 65CO~he transformation efficiency of the prepa-ratio~ so obtai~ed is 1~5 GI~ per gram of glucos2 a-t a conversion rate of 45-50%.
~ he foll~wing Examples throw more light on the inventionO
Example I
Cultural media ob-tained after fermenta-tion o microbial cells is centrifuged ~r îiltered.The biomass so filtered is washed a single time with water.The wet cells obtai~ed after the centrifu-~i gatio~l or iltration should have a lG-12% dry ~atter conte~t,.

* l~ade mark The fresh biomass is mixed with freshly obtained blood serum or blood plasma in a w~v ratio of from 1:1 up to 1:10 so that the preparation after polymerization to possess a glucose isomeraze activi-ty of 150-200 ~IU/g of dry matter.lf deviations from this value ocuur,-the quan-tity of blood serum or blood plasma is aprop-riately corrected.3&0-400 cm3 of 25C/o a~ueous solution of glutaric aldehyde is added per each kg of dry matter into the -reaction mix~
ture and the mixture is stirred for a time of' about 1hour ~ith a mechanical stirrer a-t a room temperature.'l'he poly~eri ation product ~o obtained is submitted to filtration and -to repeated washing untill no yellow colour of the rinse water is observed.lllhe excess water is removed by pressing and the prepara-tion is frosted for a time of 12 hours at a temperature of from -~ up to -10C.Then the preparation is defros-tedgthe water is removed by pressing and the ' porous mass so obtained is granulated and dried at a temperature not exceeding 50~ under ~acuum or in dry air stream.I~ add-tion to the granular form,the preparation could be used also after being milled and screened to a grain si~e of 10~30 mesh.
~xample II
The polymerization of whole cells of glucose isomeraze activity together with the blood serum or blood plasma is performed as in ~xample I'~After pressing,the preparation so obtai~ed is not sub-mitted -to frosting but rather is directly granulated and dried as in Example I.
Example III
In the polymerization of glucose iso~eraze active cells,a l~o-philized or spray-dried blood serum or blood plasma is used.Said serum or plasma was previously dissolved in water to a dry matter content of 8~-12% Subsequent operations are the same as per ¢xamp--- 7 --les I and II.
~xampl e IV
The polymerization of glucose isomeraze active whole cells is performed as in Bxamples I,II andIII with the excep-tion that the blood serum or blood plasma was preliminary frosted.ln this case, the bloc~s of blood serum or blood plasma are defrosted at a -tem-perature not higher than 55C.rrhen,the dry matter content is deter-mined and af-ter the corresponding correction was made,the proce~s proceeds as in ~xamples L and II.
Example Y
The dried preparation is soaked for a time of 12 hours either in a glucose syrup of a concentration of 2-3M containing the opti~
mal eoncentration of cobalt and magnesium ions acc.ording to the enzyme used or in water in a w/v ra-tio of 1:10.A column or battery of ~olumns is ~illed with swallen enzyme preparation when taking eare for proper and uniorm filling so that to exclude the possibi-lity for any air inclusionO~l`he quantity of enzyme preparation re~
quired for the reaction is determined by the expression I.
A glucose syrup o~ 2-3M concentration is continuously passed through the column~r~he fructose conten-t at the column outlet is determined eolorimetrically or polarometricallyO'l'he conversion of the glucose syrup into ~ruetose is kept at a 40-50% level using a battery of columns 50 that when the ac-ti~ity of given column drops to a value of bellow 20~,the same is replaced~It is reecomended -that ~he temperature of the isomerization proeess be kept in the range of from ~0 up to 65c in order to avoid an eve~tual micro-bial contamina-tion of the column as well as that a preliminary heating of the syrup to its operating temperature be accomplished.

The f 1QW rate in the column or bat:tery of columns is controlled by a suitable pump and depends on the quantity and activity of the preparation used /i.e. the expression 1 for A/.
The operation time of a single column /i.e. a column not included into a bat-tery/ depends on the initial activity of the preparation to be immobilized and on -the thermal stability of the enzyme used as well as on the flow rate of thesubstrate.
