β¦ Synopsis
Conidia of Penicillium variabile P16 producing glucose oxidase were immobilized in different carriers and used in repeated-batch processes. Limited free-cell growth and good me,:hanical stability of the carriers were obtained with Ca-alginate, agar and polyurethane sponge. During prolonged experiments, the polyurethane sponge appeared to be the best carrier in relation to glucose oxidase and catalase activities. The maximum mean volumetric productivity of gluconate was obtained using agar as immobilizing agent.

## Abstract **Summary:** Gluconic acid was obtained in the permeate side of the bioreactor with glucose oxidase (GOD) immobilized onto anionβexchange membrane (AEM) of lowβdensity polyethylene grafted with 4βvinylpiridine. The electric resistance of the anionβexchange membranes was increased after
