## 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

A new apparatus for continuous ethanol production with internal separation of yeast cells is described. The removal of cell-free medium is accomplished by cake filtration through a thin layer of diatomaceous earth. By using a feeding pump connected with a level meter, fresh medium is supplied at the
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.
