The immobilization of enzymes, organelles, and microbial cells within calcium alginate gel spheres has been reported. Few reports exist, however, on the use of these spheres for enzyme immobilization. The study reported here describes the immobilization of ..beta..-D-glucosidase within calcium alginate gel spheres and addresses the problems of loss of enzyme activity in the spheres via inhibition and leakage.
