Levansucrase (EC 2.4.1.10\, LS) usi ng sucrose as an fructose donor\, LS is capable of producing short-chained FOSs to large polysaccharides with specific β(2→6) linkages. LS is limite d commercially by low thermal stability and poor product specificity. LS p roduced from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was immobilized onto various synth etic and natural supports in order to increase thermal stability. Glyoxyl agarose-IDA-Cu offered a high retention of activity and protein yield with a stabilization factor 14 times higher than that of the native enzyme. Re sponse surface methodology was used to investigate and optimize the immobi lization parameters used.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome t o attend a PhD oral defence. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishm ents of our PhD candidates.\n DTSTART:20190110T181500Z DTEND:20190110T181500Z LOCATION:MS@-022\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellev ue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defence: Stabilization of levansucrase\, modulation of its specificity and a search for the improved synthesis of novel fructooligos accharides and levans URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defence-stabili zation-levansucrase-modulation-its-specificity-and-search-improved-synthes is-293027 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
