    摘要: An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an apparatus for immobilizing a microbial cell, the apparatus including: a mixing tank in which a cell-carrier-containing mixed solution is accommodated; a nozzle part through which the cell-carrier-containing mixed solution is injected from the mixing tank and is discharged to the outside; and a reaction tank in which a cell immobilized bead is formed by contact between the cell-carrier-containing mixed solution discharged from the nozzle part and an aqueous curing agent solution. In the apparatus for immobilizing a microbial cell according to the present disclosure, since the cell-carrier-containing mixed solution is injected through an air spraying nozzle, even when an immobilized carrier solution having a high viscosity is used, a microbial cell immobilized bead having a small size and having a spherical shape, or an almost spherical shape may be mass-produced.

    摘要: The present invention provides a novel allulose epimerase variant and various uses thereof, in which glycine (Gly), an amino acid residue at position 216 of the amino acid sequence of wild-type D-allulose 3-epimerase derived from Flavonifractor plautii, is substituted with serine (Ser). The novel allulose epimerase variant according to the present invention has a higher conversion activity of fructose to allulose compared to the wild-type D-allulose 3-epimerase derived from Flavonifractor plautii, and in particular, it has excellent thermal stability under high temperature conditions of 60° C. or higher, so that the enzyme conversion reaction is performed at the industrial level for mass production of allulose to prevent contamination, to shorten production time, and to reduce production cost.
