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

β¦ Synopsis
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.

## Abstract __Saccharomyces cerevisiae__ cells were immobilized in calcium alginate beads for use in the continuous production of ethanol. Yeasts were grown in medium supplemented with ethanol to selectively screen for a culture which showed the greatest tolerance to ethanol inhibition. Yeast beads
were immobilized by occlusion in pectin gel, no significant changes in their biological activity being observed. The ethanol production rate was found to be negatively affected by the diameter of the beads when the cell concentration in them was high. The fermentative activity was only slightly modi
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
Living KZhyveromyces fragilis yeast cells were succesfully entrapped in calcium alginate gel beads at cell loadings of 4 to 16 g yeast (0.8 to 3.2 g d.m.) per 1 g of sodium alginate. In batch systems, about 90 % conversion in 48 h was obtained both with free and immobilized yeast using demineralized
