Abstract
In this work, Termamyl® 2X and Bioprep® 3000L were characterized and investigated for their antimicrobial activities by agar diffusion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). Bioprep® 3000L enzyme showed higher antimicrobial activity compared to the Termamyl® 2X against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, and was partially active for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing a high potential of application to antimicrobial textiles production replacing the synthetic compounds. In addition, Bioprep® 3000L enzyme was immobilized by covalent bond on the chemically modified cotton fabric surface via periodate reaction (20% immobilization yield) and its antimicrobial activity was investigated.
