PG - 14147-14156 LID - 10.1021/acs.langmuir.1c02389 [doi] AB - The opal-like SiO(2) microcarriers with different pore diameters named opal-SiO(2)I and opal-SiO(2)II were synthesized and utilized as microcarriers to immobilize Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) and Aspergillus oryzae alpha-amylases (AOA). ROL and AOA can be more stably immobilized on the cross-linked SiO(2) opals by neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether (NGDE), which is the first attempt to use it as a cross-linking agent compared with glutaraldehyde. According to the morphology analysis, multiple layers of SiO(2) monodisperse microspheres were regularly packed and formed an opal-like structure, and enzymes were well scattered and immobilized throughout the SiO(2) opals. The results showed that the performance of enzymes immobilized on opal-SiO(2)II with a larger specific surface area was much better than that of opal-SiO(2)I. The enzyme activity of ROL@opal-SiO(2)II and AOA@opal-SiO(2)II cross-linked with 1% NGDE increased 5.32 and 9.32 times compared with their free counterpart, respectively. Furthermore, pH and thermal stability and reusability of ROL/AOA@opal-SiO(2)II were significantly improved and higher than those of ROL/AOA@opal-SiO(2)I and free enzymes. This study provides an easily obtained microcarrier opal-SiO(2)II, which shows potential for efficient different enzyme immobilizations and further industrial applications.
