In that way, the design and characterization of new supports for lipase immobilization have been increasingly popular in literature. Efforts to obtain “the perfect support” (a not accomplished yet) are described in this paper. Obviously, the choice and development of a support is directly related to the process in which it will be used, considering different factors as the media where the immobilzed enzyme will be used (whether aqueous, free or with solvents), potency of agitation, reactor configuration or substrates/products that will be involved. The present work discusses the use of some techniques of support synthesis in the case of core-shell particles, such as: miniemulsion, microemulsion, suspension, dispersion, the use of heterofunctional supports, whole-cell and processes of coimobilization. Some analytical tools for the investigation of enzyme immobilization are also presented, such as fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as support characteristics that may be relevant for its final performance (e.g., specific surface area, particle diameter and particle size distribution and confocal laser scanning microscope).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100187,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Research and Innovation","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 26-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.biori.2017.01.004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82897285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the development of new transformation protocols is desirable to facilitate the genetic engineering in cyanobacteria. Transformations using linear fragments yielded by PCR have advantages such as: less laborious methodology, faster procedure, low cost and unnecessary cloning steps. However, some strains presence extracellular nucleases, which reduce the efficiency in obtaining transformants. In this study, we demonstrate an improved protocol for genetic transformation in <em>Synechococcus elongatus</em> PCC 7942 using linear fragments employing EDTA-mediated inhibition of DNases. To conduct the transformation, linear PCR products containing the spectinomycin antibiotic resistance gene were employed. As result, 40mM EDTA treatment increased the number of transformants obtained by eightfold in comparison to the conventional protocol using plasmid DNA. Thus, the application of exonuclease inhibitors can be considered a relevant improvement to manipulate cyanobacteria in a more efficient, faster way and as a low-cost alternative. This protocol must be helpful for other strains of cyanobacteria.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100187,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Research and Innovation","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 123-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.biori.2017.09.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82052066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
