In order to minimize the adverse effect of CO 2 gas in a packed bed immobilized yeast reactor, a fluidized bed reactor was used for the continuous production of ethanol from glucose. Immobilized yeast was prepared by entrapping whole cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae within a Caalginate matrix. It

Yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevX~iae) were immobilized in pectin gel, incubated 12 h at 30ยฐC and then used for the continuous production of ethanol employing a wedge-shaped horizontal reactor and sugar cane molasses as the carbon source. Under steady state conditions the mean residence time was 1.6
The organism used was Aspergillusfoetoidus (IMI 15954) which produces citric acid when grown on a defined synthetic medium. A preliminary study has been carried out to establish the performance characteristics of the modified CMMFF at various inlet substrate concentrations, dilution rates and biomas
Immobilized yeast was encapsulated with cell-free calciumalginate gel by two-step preparation procedure. The volume of coated film decreased with increasing cell concentration. The encapsulation did not affect ethanol production and could prevent cell leakage from the gels.
