Yeast cell immobilization into electrospun nanofibers and analysis of cell viabiliity and functionality

Featured Image

Why is it important?

This method of processing functionalized yeast may thus be a powerful tool in the direct immobilization of properly folded, active enzymes within electrospun nano fibers with potential applications in biocatalysis.

Perspectives

The focus of this work is direct electrospinning and crosslinking due to advantages of simplicity and ability to accommodate high biocatalyst loadings. Yeast cells survived the harsh conditions of electrospinning and crosslinking and the surface display of the protein of interest remains intacted.
