Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) catalyzes the Mg2+-dependent carboxylation reaction in aqueous phase with a carbon source. Performing enzymatic reactions in a bioreactor with gas–liquid contacting is challenging because proteins potentially undergo conformational change at the gas–liquid interface. In the present work, immobilized phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase polystyrene beads (PEPC-PSBs) were prepared and applied to catalyze the carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) producing oxaloacetate (OAA) in an external loop airlift bubble column (ELBC). For a typical reaction, ELBC was charged with 10 mL of a 0.2 M potassium phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.5) initially containing 3.1 mM PEP and 9.7 mM MgSO4. When ELBC was operated at 25 °C with 20 PEPC-PSBs ([PEPC] = 2.0 μg/mL) by continuously introducing CO2gas bubbles at the superficial gas velocity of 1.0 cm/s, the conversion of PEP of 77% was obtained at the reaction time of 300 min. After the reaction, PEPC-PSBs could be recovered from the reaction mixture followed by washing for reuse. PEPC-PSBs were storable at 4 °C and physically robust enough for handling. The catalytic activity of PEPC-PSBs was observed for the total reaction time of 900–1080 min in the gas–liquid flow. On the other hand, no detectable amount of OAA was produced with free PEPC in ELBC operated under the comparable condition to the PEPC-PSB-catalyzed reaction. Adsorption of free PEPC to CO2gas bubbles was indicated to cause a rapid decrease in the concentration of biologically active PEPC in ELBC. The polystyrene beads with rough surface were suggested to offer an environment for the immobilized enzyme to stably catalyze the prolonged carboxylation of PEP with continuously supplied CO2-containing gas bubbles.
