The correct option is (b) Nitrilase

Easiest explanation: Immobilized nitrilase is prepared by entrapping the intact Rhodococcus cells in a cross-linked polyacrylamide/dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate gel. Penicillin amidases may be obtained from immobilizing Escherichia coli on a cyanogen bromide-activated Sephadex G200 support. Immobilized raffinase is prepared by stirring Mortierella vinacea with the sugar beet juice in a batch stirred tank reactors. Aminoacyclase is immobilised by adsorption to anion exchange resins and has an operational half-life of about 65 days at 50˚C in PBRs with residence times of about 30 min.
