Factors affecting the activity of immobilized enzyme preparation such as pH and temperature were investigated. Thermostability of the immobilized enzyme preparation was checked at 30 and 40 degrees C and it was found that the thermostability of the immobilized rifamycin oxidase activity has increased compared to free enzyme. Transformation of rifamycin B to rifamycin S was also carried out with the immobilized enzyme preparation. Kappa-carrageenan immobilized rifamycin oxidase was also reused several times for the transformation of rifamycin B to rifamycin S.
