β¦ Synopsis
Polyurethane foam cubes were employed as carders to immobilize Rhizopus oryzae for L(+)-lactic acid production. The immobilizing capacity reached 450 gfresh cell/l-cube. The production rate of L(+)-lactic acid could be threefold increased by using the immobilized R. oryzae. The immobilized cells could be steadily used in repetitive fermentations for more than 10 batches.
