easy and efficient method for GGT enzyme immobilization, preparation of thermo- and salt-tolerant chitosan cross-linked gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase from Bacillus licheniformis strain ER15, overview. The purified native enzyme is covalently immobilized onto chitosan microspheres (CMS) standardized with respect to pH, enzyme load, and time. Immobilization efficiency of 11.9 U/mg dry weight of microsphere is obtained in Tris-HCl, pH 9.0, at 18°C in 4 h. Immobilized enzyme CMS-GGT exhibits improved thermal stability (t1/2 of 70.7 min at 60°C), activity in a broader pH range and improved salt stability in 18% (3 M) sodium chloride solution as compared to free enzyme. Both free and immobilized enzymes specifically convert glutamine to glutamic acid in a mixture of amino acids. CMS-GGT has a better shelf life and high recyclability retaining 90% catalytic efficiency up to 10 reaction cycles compared to free enzyme. For long-term storage, CMS-GGT can be disinfected using either sodium azide or sodium hypochlorite solution without affecting the enzyme activity
