A novel spray-drying process to stabilize glycolate oxidase and catalase in Pichia pastoris and optimization of pyruvate production from lactate using the spray-dried biocatalyst

Pyruvate is a valuable chemical intermediate in the production of fine chemicals used by agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Current technology for production of pyruvic acid is based on conversion from tartaric acid and results in environmentally incompatible byproducts. An enzymatic...
