Abstract

The heterogeneous BCL biocatalyst based on the recombinant extracellular lipase from the thermophilic bacteria Geobacillus stearothermophilus G3 with an activity of 23.6 U.A./g was prepared by covalent immobilization on aminated silica gel. The effect of the solvent, temperature (30–60°C), methanol : oil molar ratio (1 : 1 to 9 : 1), and the amounts of water (1–10%) and catalyst (0.25–25%) on the yield of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) during the methanolysis of sunflower oil with BCL was studied. The maximum yield of FAME was 43%. The biocatalyst exhibits high operational stability: after 480 h of operation (20 cycles), it retains more than 50% of its original activity, making BCL a promising catalyst for application in manufacturing of FAME as feedstock for biodiesel production.
