Abstract
With the ultimate aim of improving the stability of the halophilic alp ha-amylase obtained from Halobacterium halobium, it was immobilized in calcium alginate in the presence of glutaraldehyde. The immobilized e nzyme retained its activity for a longer period and showed an increase in stability. The performance of immobilized amylase was tested using a laboratory scale upflow packed bed reactor.
