Levansucrase from a local isolate of Bacillus circulans was immobilized on wool adopting the physical adsorption technique. The relative activity of the immobilized enzyme was 55.20 % per g carrier and the specific activity (calculated on bound protein basis) was 78.12% of the free (soluble) enzyme. Compared to the free enzyme, the immobilized form revealed a higher optimal reaction temperature, low activation energy, higher Km (Michaelis constant) and lowers Vmax (maximal reaction rate). The same enzyme preparation exhibited thermal stability and resistance to chemical denaturation.
