The present invention relates to an inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase), methods of producing the same and uses thereof. Further disclosed are an enzyme reactor and a kit comprising the PPase.

Provided are a biomimetic silicon mineralized microcapsule immobilized multi-enzyme, a preparation method therefor, and a method for producing tagatose by using same. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) pre-mixing glucan phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, phosphoglucoisomerase, 6-phosphate tagatose 4-position epimerase and 6-phosphate tagatose phosphatase solutions, then adding the mixture to a calcium chloride solution, and then pouring same into a sodium carbonate solution, stirring and separating same to obtain calcium carbonate microspheres containing a multi-enzyme; (2) mixing the calcium carbonate microspheres with a polyethyleneimine solution to obtain polyethyleneimine-calcium carbonate microspheres after separation; (3) mixing the polyethyleneimine-calcium carbonate microspheres with a silicate solution to obtain biomimetic silicon mineralized-calcium carbonate microspheres after separation; and (4) mixing the biomimetic silicon mineralized-calcium carbonate microspheres with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid for reaction to remove calcium carbonate, and separating same to obtain a biomimetic silicon mineralized microcapsule immobilized multi-enzyme.

Provided are the immobilization of multiple enzymes on the basis of an artificial oil body and an application thereof in the preparation of tagatose. Specifically, an artificial oil body is used to mix an expressed fusion protein of target protease-oil body protein with an oil body, which then undergoes an ultrasonic treatment; the fusion protein is anchored to the surface of the oil body by means of the specific hydrophobicity of a human protein to form an artificial oil body containing the target protease, so that the purification and immobilization of enzymes can be completed simultaneously. The immobilized multiple enzymes that can be used for tagatose production utilize an artificial oil body as an immobilized enzyme substrate, which significantly improves the stability of the immobilized enzymes, reduces the production cost of the current enzymatic preparation of tagatose, and has a simple preparation process.

The present invention provides crude enzyme extracts, cocktails and compositions from Alkanivorax borkumensis and methods for the enzymatic treatment and bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted ecosystems.
