Abstract
Different procedures for the formation of polymeric networks to be applied in whole cell entrapment for the preparation of biocatalysts are outlined and compared. These methods include suspension polymerization of water soluble monomers (acrylamide, methacrylamide), water insoluble monomers (methylmethacrylate), and polycondensation of urea and formaldehyde. Special emphasis is given to the detailed description of possible variations in polymer composition and polymerization conditions in relation to the catalytic and mechanical properties of the biocatalyst preparations. The mechanical properties of polymethacry lamide networks can be shown to be significantly improved if compared to conventional polyacrylamide preparations.
