Inmovilización de enzimas lignocelulolíticas en nanopartículas magnéticas

Due to the need for more efficient, economical and environmentally-friendly technological processes, the use of enzymes has increased. However, reuse of enzymatic hydrolytic complex is required. The immobilization of enzymes provides a basis for stability and allows their reuse reflected in aspects of economic feasibility. Magnetic nanoparticles are a promising supports since their magnetic character allows retrieval by applying an external magnetic field. This article presents an analysis and discussion of methods of biocatalyst immobilization, emphasizing lignocellulolytic enzymes immobilized in magnetic nanoparticles and their applications for the production of high-value compounds such as bioethanol.
