Abstract

Catechol 1, 2-dioxygenases are iron containing enzymes able to convert catechol into cis, cis-muconate, a precursor of the industrially important compound adipic acid. Catechol 1, 2- dioxygenase from Acinetobacter radioresistens S13 was immobilized on β-cyclodextrins cross-linked with carbonate groups (nanosponges) with a yield of 29 mg of enzyme per gram of support. This support was chosen for its low cost and its ability to offer different ...
