Description
SPECIFICATION
Process for producing granular fixed enzymes or microorganism strains
This invention relates to a processforfixing an enzyme or microorganism strain, and more specifically, to a process for fixing an enzyme or microorganism strain as a granular molded article.
Many methods such as entrapping, physical adsorption or covalent bonding have been known heretofore for the fixation of enzymes or microorganisms. In using a fixed product in the form of a mass or sheet obtained by such methods in a microorganism reaction, it is the usual practice to fill it in a column after it has been cut or crushed finely.
Since, however, the fixed product frequently undergoes intimate surface-to-surface contact, the efficiency of the microorganism reaction is reduced, or frequently a channeling phenomenon occurs to block up the column.
The present inventors thought that if an enzyme or microorganism strain can be fixed as a granular molded article, it would become easy to fill the fixed product into a column because of its good flowability, the area of contact between the granules would be small and the efficiency of a microorganism reaction could be increased. Based on this thought, they undertook extensive investigations about the method of fixing enzymes or microorganism strains as granular articles.These investigations have led to the discovery that if a combination of a certain kind of hydrophilic photocurable resin and a watersoluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide having the ability to become a gel upon contact with a polyvalent metal ion is used as a carrier for fixation, a granularfixed article of an enzyme or microorganism strain having high mechanical strength can be produced very easily in an aqueous medium without a loss of the enzyme or microorganism strain.
Thus, according to this invention, there is provided a process for producing a granular fixed molded article of an enzyme or microorganism strain, which comprises adding dropwise a liquid composition composed of (a) a hydrophilic photocurable resin having at least two Ahylenically unsaturated bonds per molecule, (b) a photopolymerization initiator, (c) a water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide having the ability to become a gel upon contact with a polyvalent metal ion and (d) an enzyme or microorganism strain to an aqueous medium containing a polyvalent metal ion to gel the composition in a granular form, ard then irradiating actinic light on the resulting granular gel to cure the photocurable resin in the granular gel.
The process of this invention will be described below in detail.
(a) Hydrophilic photocurable resin
In the process of this invention, a hydrophilic photocurable resin having at least two ethylenically unsaturated bonds per molecule is used as one fixation carrier. Suitable hydrophilic photocurable resins for use in this invention may have a number average molecularweight of generally 300 to 100,000, preferably 500 to 20,000, contain an ionic or
nonionic hydrophilic group, such as hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, a phosphoric acid group, a sulfonic acid group, an amino group or an ether
linkage, which is sufficient for the hydrophilic photocurable resin to disperse uniformly in an aqueous
medium having an enzyme or microorganism strain suspended therein, and when exposed to irradiation of actinic light having a wavelength of about 250 to about 600 nm, preferably about 300 to about 400 nm, are cured to substantially water-insoluble solid resins. Such photocurable resins have already been known perse as carriers for fixation of enzymes or microorganism strains (for example, see U.S. Patent
No.4,195,129 and British Patents Nos. 1,550,465 and 1,550,151). Typical examples are shown below.

Such a copolymer can be synthesized by methods known perse. Copolymers having a carboxyl group can be obtained if an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is used as a comonomen Copolymers having a phosphoric acid group can be obtained if an unsaturated phosphoric acid ester such as Phosmer M or
Phosmer Cl (both tradenames for products supplied by Yushi Seihin K.K.) is used as a comonomer.
Furthermore, copolymers having a sulfonic acid group can be obtained if an unsaturated sulfonic acid ester such as 2-sulfoethyl (meth)acrylate or 3-sulfopropyl (meth)acrylate is used as a comonomer. A photopolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated group can be introduced into the resulting copolymer by reacting an unsaturated glycidyl compound such as glycidyl (meth)acrylate with the carboxyl, phosphoric acid or sulfonic acid group present in the copolymer.

The above-exemplified photocurable resins can be used singly or in combination with each other.
Among the above photocurable resins, the polyesters of polyethylene glycols and (meth)acrylic acid exemplified under (v) and the urethanization adducts of polyethylene glycol and 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate exemplified under (vi) can be especially advantageously used in this invention.
(b) Photopolymerization initiator
In order to promote the photopolymerization reaction of the photocurable resin (a) described above, a photopolymerization initiator (photosensitizer) is included in the liquid composition used in this invention. Usable photopolymerization initiators are those capable of yielding radicals upon decomposition by light irradiation, which radicals become polymerization initiating species and induce crosslinking reaction between resins having a polymerizable unsaturated group. Specific examples include alphacarbonyl alcohols such as benzoin and acetoin; acyloin ethers such as benzoin methyl ether, benzoin ethyl ether, benzoin propyl ether, anisoin ethyl ether and pivaloin ethyl ether; polynuclear aromatic compounds such as naphthol and hydroxyanthracene; alpha-substituted acyloins such as methylbenzoin and alpha-methoxybenzoin; azoamide compounds such as 2-cyano-2-butylazoformamide; metal salts such as uranyl nitrate and ferric chloride; mercaptans; disulfides; halogen compounds; and dyes.
These photopolymerization initiators may be used singly or in combination with each other in an amount of usually 0.01 to 100, preferably 0.1 to 5,
PHR (per hundred resin).
(c) Water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysac chides One great characteristic of this invention is to use a water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide in combination with the photocurable resin (a), as a fixation carrier.
Suitable water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharides which can be used in this invention have the ability to change to water-insoluble or sparingly water-soluble gels upon contact with a polyvalent metal ion in an aqueous medium. They have a molecular weight of generally about 3,000 to about 2,000,000, preferably about 100,000 to about 1,000,000, and in its water-soluble form before contact with a polyvalent metal ion, show a water solubility of usually at least about 10 g/liter (at 25 C), preferably at least least 30 g/liter (at 250C).
Specific examples of the water-soluble highmolecular weight polysaccharide having such characteristics include alkali metal salts of alginic acid, carrageenani konjac man nan, and pectin.
The water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide can be gelled when in the state of being dissolved in an aqueous medium, it contacts a polyvalent metal ion, for example at least one polyvalent metal ion selected from alkaline earth metal ions such as magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium ions and other polyvalent metal ions such as cerium and nickel ions. It is not necessary for the water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide to have the ability to become a gel upon contact with all polyvalent metal ions. All that is sufficient is that it should have the ability to become a gel when brought into contact with at least one polyvalent metal ion, preferably an alkaline earth metal ion.The concentration of the polyvalent metal ion at which gellation occurs differs depending upon the kind of the water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysacharide, but is generally at least 0.01 mole/ liter, preferably 0.1 to 2 moles/liter.

These enzymes and microorganisms may be used singly or as a mixture of two or more. If desired, they may be individually fixed so that two more fixed products are used simultaneously.
For practical purposes, enzymes having the ability to ferment alcohols are of particular interest among the above-exemplified enzymes and microorganism strains.
Preparation ofa liquid composition
A liquid composition may be formed by thoroughly mixing the components (a), (b), (c) and (d) in an aqueous medium. Water or an aqueous buffer solution is suitable as the aqueous medium. If desired, a mixture of a water-soluble alcohol with water or an aqueous buffer solution, a mixture of a water-soluble ketone with water or an aqueous buffer solution, or a solution of an ester-type solvent which is uniformly miscible with water or an aqueous buffer solution may also be used.
The proportions of the components (a), (b), (c) and (d) are not strictly limited, and can be varied widely according to the types of the individual components, etc. Generally, per 100 parts by weight of the hydrophilic photocurable resin (a), the components (b), (c) and (d) and be used in the following proportions (the parenthesized figures show preferred ranges).
(b) Photopolymerization initiator
0.01 to 10 parts by weight (0.1 to 5 parts by weight)
(c) Water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide 0.5 to 15 parts by weight
(1 to 8 parts byweight) (d) Enzyme or microorganism strain
0.001 to 50 parts by weight (0.01 to 20 parts by weight).
The aqueous medium may be used in an amount of 10 to 1,500 parts by weight, preferably 50 to 900 parts by weight, based on the total weight of the above components (a) to (d).
Gellation
The liquid composition prepared as above is then added dropwise to an aqueous medium containing a polvalent metal ion to gel it in a granular form.
The polyvalent metal ion to be included in the aqueous medium is selected from those which have the ability to gel the aqueous high-molecular-weight polysaccharide in the liquid composition. Whether the polyvalent metal ion has the ability to gel the water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide can be easily determined by adding a uniform mixed aqueous solution containing the hydrophilic photocurable resin and the water-soluble highmolecular-weight poysaccharide dropwise to an aqueous solution containing the polyvalent metal ion and observing the mixture to determine whether a granular gel is formed or not.
The aqueous medium containing the selected polyvalent metal ion can be prepared by dissolving a water-soluble compound of the polyvalent metal such as a halide, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate or nitrate of the polyvalent metal in the aqueous medium. The concentration of the polyvalent metal ion in the aqueous medium can be adjusted generalliy to 0.01 to 5 molesiliter, preferably 0.1 to 2 moles/liter.
The dropwise addition of the liquid composition to the aqueous medium containing the polyvalent metal ion can be carried out, for example, by adding dropwise the liquid composition from the tip of a slender tube such as a syringe, or scattering the liquid composition in granular form by utilizing centrifugal force, or by atomizing the liquid composition from the tip of a nozzle and thus adding it dropwise in granular form. The size of the liquid droplets to be added dropwise can be freely changed according to the desired particle size of the final granular fixed product to be obtained. Usually, it is convenient to add dropwise liquid droplets having a diameter of about 0.1 to about 5 mm, preferably about 0.5 to about 3 mm.
The added liquid composition contacts the polyvalent metal ion in the aqueous medium and is instantly gelled to become a granular gel. The mechanism of gellation at this time has not been elucidated accurately. It is presumed however that the water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide is flocculated by a halide or a salt solution and then the anionic group contained in the watersoluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide is ionically bonded through the polyvalent metal ion whereby the polysaccharide is three-dimensionally crosslinked to form a gel.
Usually, room temperature suffices as the temperature of gellation. If desired, the gellation may be carried out at a temperature at which the enzyme or microorganism strain is not deactivated. Alternatively, the gellation may be carried out under cooling.
Photocuring
The granular gel formed as above is exposed to irradiation of actinic light either as dispersed in the aqueous medium or after it has been separated from the aqueous medium, thereby curing the hydrophilic photocurable resin in the granular gel. As a result, a granular fixed product of the enzyme or microorganism strain which is substantially water-insoluble and has high mechanical strength can be obtained.
The wavelength of the actinic light used in the photocuring reaction varies depending upon the type of the photocurable resin included in the gel.
Generally, it is advantageous to use a light source which emits light having a wavelength in the range of about 250 to about 600 nm, preferably 300 to 400 nm. Examples of such a light source include a low-pressure mercury lamp, a high-pressure mercury lamp, a xenon lamp, a carbon arc lamp and sunlight. The irradiation time should be changed depending upon the intensity of the light from the light source, the distance from the light source, etc.
Generally, it may be within the range of about 0.5 to about 10 minutes. The irradiation time may sometimes be shortened if the irradiation is carried out in an atmosphere of an inert atmosphere.
The irradiation must be carried out so that the actinic light can reach the entire granular gel as uniformly as possible. For example, in the case of irradiating actinic light on the granular gel separated from the aqueous medium, it is convenient to place the separated granular gel in a suitable transparent glass plate or glass container so that it substantially forms a single layer, and to irradiate actinic light from both below and above the glass plate or glass container.
Room temperature also suffices as the temperature at which the granular gel is photocured. If desired, the irradiation can be carried out at an elevated temperature at which the enzyme or microorganism strain is not deactivated. Alternatively, the irradiation may be carried out under cooling.
The granular gel which has been exposed to irradiation is washed with water or an aqueous buffer solution, and then stored as such or after it is lyophilized.
Thus, according to the process of this invention, a granular fixed product of an enzyme or microorganism strain which has a particle diameter of about 0.5 to about 5 mm can be produced by a very simple operation, and continuous production is also possible.
The present invention brings about various advantages. For example, the invention makes possible the production of a granularfixed product of an enzyme or micoorganism strain by using a synthetic carrier, which has heretofore been difficult. The use of the water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produces an effect of protecting the activity of the enzyme or microorganism strain. Furthermore, when the resulting granular fixed product is used, the water-soluble high-molecular-weight polysaccharide is gradually peptized and escapes from the photocurable resin matrix to leave fine pores in the fixed product. These fine pores increase the permeation of a substrate into the fixed product, and lead to an increase in the rate of the reaction.
These granular fixed products obtained by this invention can be conveniently used particularly in reactors whose scale is not so large, or in fluidized bed-type reactors.
The following Examples illustrate the present invention further.
Example 1
One hundred parts by weight of a photocurable
prepolymer composed of 2,000 g of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of about 4,000, 222 g (1 mole) of isophorone diisocyanate and 130 g (1
mole) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2 parts by weight of benzoin isobutyl ether and 100 parts by weight of distilled water were well mixed. To the mixture were added 100 parts by weight of a 2% aqueous solution of sodium alginate and 100 parts
by weight of a suspension (concentration 10%) of
Saccharomyces cervisiae (ATCC 11909) were added, and these materials were thoroughly mixed. The resulting mixture of the photocurable resin and the yeast was added dropwise to a 1 M solution of calcium chloride from an injection syringe at a height 10 cm above the liquid surface.There was obtained a granular product having a particle size of about 2 mm.
The granular product was placed in a Petri dish having a flat bottom surface, and exposed to irradiation of actinic light having a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm for 3 minutes from above and below the Petri dish. A granular fixed yeast having a compression strength of 20 kg/cm2 was obtained.
In a molasse culture medium, the resulting granulay fixed yeast was examined for its ability to ferment an alcohol. It was found that its ability to ferment an alcohol was equivalent to non-fixed Saccharomyces cervisiae.
Example 2
Distilled water (100 parts by weight) was added to 100 parts by weight of a photocurable prepolymer composed of 1,000 g of polyethylene glycol 2000 (molecular weight 2,000) and 2 moles of methacrylic acid, and the mixture was heated to about 50"C and well mixed to form a uniform aqueous resin solution.
