Immobilization of the alcohol dehydrogenase ADH-'A' from Rhodococcus ruber DSM 44541 has been performed with different amino-functionalized carrier materials. The procedure included the activation of the carrier with glutaraldehyde and subsequent covalent binding to the enzyme. The porous glass beads TRISOPERL® and TRISOPOR®, magnetic particles, and detonation nanodiamonds were used as carriers in these experiments. In all cases, the immobilization was successful with almost quantitative immobilization yields; subsequently the activity for the reduction of acetophenone was lower compared to the activity of the free biocatalyst. Activity yields of 40% and 60% were obtained. The immobilized biocatalysts showed high stabilities in repetitive batches.
