Abstract  

Recombinant E.coli cells were immobilized with calcium alginate for the isomerization of D-galactose to D-tagatose. The influences of immobilization process and reaction conditions on the catalytic efficiency and D-tagatose production stability of the immobilized cells are investigated. The optimal conditions were as follows: the temperature, pH and mental ion were 65℃,6.5 and 1mmol/L Mn2+, respectively. The optimal substrate (D-galactose) and cell concentrations of 100 g/L and 40 g/L were selected, respectively. Stability of the alginate beads under high temperatures was enhanced after cross-linked by 0.3% glutaraldehyde for 30min. The effect of molar ratio between borate and substrate on isomerization was studied, it was found that borate could change the initial chemical equilibrium of D-galactose isomerization and lead to a high production of D-tagatose. After conversion for 24h, the highest conversion rate for D-tagatose using D-galactose as the substrate reached to 65.8% by immobilized recombinant E.coli cells, and the average conversion rate of eight repeated batch conversions was 60.6%, which laid the foundation for industrial production of D-tagatose.
