a Comparison of lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis within the lipase-loaded colloidosomes with and without TMOS crosslinking. b Kinetics of p-NPP hydrolysis into p-nitrophenol catalyzed by lipase-loaded crosslinked colloidosomes (red plot), lipase-loaded non-crosslinked colloidosomes (blue plot), and free lipase (black plot). The loaded lipase for all groups was 0.005 mg. Error bars indicate the SD of three replicating measurements. c, d Optical microscopy images of the lipase-loaded crosslinked colloidosomes before (c) and after (d) p-NPP hydrolysis, showing the generation of yellow p-nitrophenol over time inside the aqueous lumen. Scale bars: 20 μm.
