Popis: A novel, high performance, and scalable immobilization protocol using a laminar jet break-up technique was developed for the production of polyelectrolyte complex beads with entrapped viable Escherichia coli cells expressing an enzyme cascade of alcohol dehydrogenase, enoate reductase, and cyclohexanone monooxygenase. A significant improvement of operational stability was achieved by cell immobilization, which was manifested as an almost two-fold higher summative product yield of 63% after five cascade reaction cycles as compared to the yield using free cells of 36% after the maximum achievable number of three cycles. Correspondingly, increased metabolic activity was observed by multimodal optical imaging in entrapped cells, which was in contrast to a complete suppression of cell metabolism in free cells after five reaction cycles. Additionally, a high density of cells entrapped in beads had a negligible effect on bead permeability for low molecular weight substrates and products of cascade reaction.
