Two mixed immobilized enzyme systems, glucoamylase–glucose isomerase and glucose isomerase–glucose oxidase–catalase, were operated to verify theoretical predictions that optimal bifunctional catalyst configutations could exist superior to those where the catalysts were mixed uniformly or arranged sequentially in a tubular reactor. The experimental results for all three configurations conformed to the theoretical values sufficiently closely to support of optimal catalyst profiles.
