Abstract:

Two kinds of functional magnetic carriers (A-type and P-type) were prepared and used for the immobilization of recombinant chitinase. A-type carrier was prepared by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and Fe3O4 magnetic microsphere. P-type carrier was prepared by co-polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) on the surface of Fe3O4 magnetic microsphere in the presence of polyethylene glycol. Results indicated that P-type carrier had higher protein loading capacity and purification fold compared with A-type carrier, which were 1689.74 mg/g and 6.8013, respectively. The activity of immobilized recombinant chitinase onto P-type carrier could maintain 69.66% at 4 ℃ for 10 days. The activity of immobilized recombinant chitinase onto P-type carrier remained more than 44 % of original activity after being repeatedly used 7 times.

Key words: chitinase, functional magnetic carrier, immobilization
