✦ Synopsis

The kinetics of D-glucose isomerization to D-kuctose by an original whole-cell immobilized biocatalyst preparation based on Streptomyces thermovulgaris (strain 127) have been studied under various process conditions, substrate concentration, particle size. Two versions of different activity were applied. For the biocatalyst of moderate activity the kinetic constants in the MICHAELIS-MENTEN equation for reversible reaction were determined. Effectiveness factors for both preparations were calculated and compared with other reported data.
