A Pickering emulsion that is stabilized by fully packed crosslinked polymersomes at the water/oil interface was prepared and applied in a biphasic enzymatic reaction. In their Communication on page 10746 ff., J. C. M. van Hest et al. show that the catalytic performance and recyclability of the Pickering emulsion is highly enhanced, when a model enzyme (CalB, red ribbon structure) is loaded either in the water phase or in the lumen of the polymersomes.
