3D Printed Porous Nanocellulose-Based Scaffolds As Carriers for Immobilization of Glycosyltransferases.

ABSTRACT: Biocatalysis is increasingly becoming an alternative method for the synthesis of industrially relevant complex molecules. This can be realized by using enzyme immobilized polysaccharide-based 3D scaffolds as compatible carriers, with defined properties. Especially, immobilization of either single or multiple enzymes on a 3D printed polysaccharide scaffold, exhibiting well-organized interconnected porous structure and morphology, is a versatile approach to access the performance of industrially important enzymes. Here, we demonstrated the use of nanocellulose-based 3D porous scaffolds for the immobilization of glycosyltransferases, responsible for glycosylation in natural biosynthesis. The scaffolds were produced using an ink containing nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), carboxymethyl cellulo
