1. Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Effect on Lipase-Catalyzed Geranyl Acetate Synthesis
This work provides a general insight on lipase-catalyzed synthesis of geranyl acetate through esterification of geraniol with acetic acid. Although this reaction is relatively well known, the replacement of organic solvents by supercritical fluids is fairly recent and the role of CO2 is still not completely understood. Therefore, reactions were performed wit

2. Acid matrix production from treated natural vermiculite-hydrobiotite
Abstract Given the potential of acid-activated clays in adsorptive and catalytic processes, several studies focusing on acid matrices have grown over the years, making it possible to study vermiculite, a mineral composed of a type 2:1 unit cell with tetrahedral and octahedral sheets. Therefore, this work aimed to study vermiculite treated with acids for the

3. IMPROVING THE CATALYTIC FEATURES OF THE LIPASE FROM Rhizomucor miehei IMMOBILIZED ON CHITOSAN-BASED HYBRID MATRICES BY ALTERING THE CHEMICAL ACTIVATION CONDITIONS
The lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) has been immobilized on chitosan-based hybrid (sodium alginate or carrageenan) matrices activated with glycidol (GLY), epichlorohydrin (EPI) or glutaraldehyde (GLU) groups. Then, the properties of the different biocatalysts have been evaluated and compared with the soluble RML. Thermal stability (at pH 7.0 and 60 °C)

4. Biodegradation of the Pyrethroid Pesticide Esfenvalerate by a Bacterial Consortium Isolated from Brazilian Savannah
New biocatalysts for bioremediation techniques are necessary nowadays. Therefore, a bacterial consortium isolated from Brazilian Savannah was employed for biodegradation of 100 mg L-1 esfenvalerate in liquid culture medium. The bacterial consortium (Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus CBMAI2085, Bacillus cereus CBMAI2067, Lysinibacillus sp. CBMAI2051 and Bacillus s

5. ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED TRANSESTERIFICATION OF SOYBEAN OIL USING COMBI-LIPASE BIOCATALYSTS
Abstract We applied ultrasonic technology for the transesterification of soybean oil catalyzed by a mixture of lipases (combi-lipase: 75 % Novozym 435; 10 % Lipozyme TL-IM; and 15 % Lipozyme RM-IM), verifying the effects of ultrasonic amplitude, pulse conditions, the ethanol:oil molar ratio, enzyme concentration, and the influence of solvent (tert-butanol on

6. DESIGN OF IMMOBILIZED ENZYME BIOCATALYSTS: DRAWBACKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The enzymatic processes are increasingly highlights, especially in the synthesis of chemical products with high added value. The enzyme immobilization can improve industrial biocatalytic processes. The immobilization of enzymes provides the production of efficient, stable biocatalysts, possibility of reuse and easy purification of the products, when compared

7. OPTIMIZATION OF LIPASE IMMOBILIZATION ON MAGHEMITE AND ITS PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
ABSTRACT Nanomaterial-based biocatalysts have emerged as current carriers suitable for enzyme immobilization. The nano-sized materials provide large surface area for enzyme attachment, thus increasing the probability for its efficient catalyst activity. By using magnetized nanomaterials, enhancement of the downstream processing is evident as it eases the imm

8. Biotechnological Properties of Sponges from Northeast Brazil: Cliona varians as a Biocatalyst for Enantioselective Reduction of Carbonyl Compounds
To research the potential ability of whole marine sponges to act as biocatalysts, this paper describes for the first time the employment of whole Cliona varians sponge in the stereoselective reduction of prochiral a-keto esters and isatin to the corresponding chiral alcohols. The addition of D-fructose, D-glucose or sucrose remarkably increased the conversio

9. DESAFIOS RELACIONADOS À PRODUÇÃO E APLICAÇÃO DAS ENZIMAS CELULOLÍTICAS NA HIDRÓLISE DA BIOMASSA LIGNOCELULÓSICA
The second generation (2G) ethanol obtained from lignocellulosic biomass has been considered as a potential alternative source of energy for the transportation sector. However, the technologies to convert lignocellulose into fermentable sugars still face several challenges. One of the major challenges of this process is related to the cost of the cellulolyti

10. Performance of Chitosan/Glycerol Phosphate Hydrogel as a Support for Lipase Immobilization
A biocompatible and biodegradable hybrid chitosan/glycerol phosphate hydrogel (CS-GP) was prepared and evaluated as support for enzyme immobilization. In this work a lipase sn-1,3 specific from Rhizopus oryzae was physically immobilized in CS-GP by adsorption (PA) and in CS-GP modified chemically with glutaraldehyde (CS-GP-GA) by covalent attachment (CA).

11. SÍNTESE ENZIMÁTICA DO CAPRILATO DE ISOPENTILA UTILIZANDO ÓLEO FÚSEL COMO MATÉRIA-PRIMA
Four commercial lipase preparations immobilized by covalent attachment on epoxy-polysiloxane-β-cyclodextrin were tested as potential biocatalysts to mediate the esterification reaction of isopentanol with caprylic acid in solvent-free medium. Among them, the immobilized lipase from Rhizopus oryzae was the most active biocatalyst, attained ester conversion h

12. SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF A POLYURETHANE-BASED SUPPORT FOR IMMOBILIZING MEMBRANE-BOUND LIPASE
Abstract This study conducted an assessment of polyurethane foams that were synthesized by one-shot process and used as a low-cost support to immobilize Mucor circinelloides URM 4182 whole-cells presenting high lipolytic activity. Polyols with different molecular weights (1100 to 6000 g mol-1) were applied to synthesize the polymer matrix, and the agitation
