## Cell retention and ethanol production using the flocculent bacterium Zymomonas mobilis NPRL B-12526 were studied in three bioreactor configurations. The flocculent growth characteristic of this strain and a special reactor design were combined to achieve relatively high cell concentrations in
Zymomonas mobilis cells were immobilized into small 1 mm diameter beads of Ca-alginate in order to minimize mass transfer limitations and maximize immobilized cell activity. A combination of small bead size with a high cell concentration of 58 g dry wt. cell per lit. bead volume resulted in high et
