Abstract

Porous ceramic supports have been developed and utilized for the immobilization of yeast cells to produce ethanol by the fermentation of glucose. The relationship between the porous structure of the ceramic support and the quantity of yeast cells immobilized and the production of ethanol by the fermentation have been investigated. A comparison of the properties of the ceramic supports with those of a calcium alginate gel indicated that the ceramics are the better of the two types of material and have potential for industrial application.
