The immobilization of glucose isomerase in several types of asymmetric hollow fibers is described and evaluated experimentally. The time course of glucose production from 1M fructose at 60°C was similar for the free enzyme and for a hollow fiber enzyme reactor operated under total recycle. Stability of glucose isomerase in a hollow fiber reactor approached that of the free enzyme, although polysulfone fibers had to be preconditioned with an inert protein.
