Environmental applications of immobilized microbial cells: A review

Year: 1996

Type: review

Abstract: Immobilized microbial cells have been used extensively in various industrial and scientific endeavours.However, immobilized cells have not been used widely for environmental applications.This review examines many of the scientific and technical aspects involved in using immobilized microbial cells in environmental applications, with a particular focus on cells encapsulated in biopolymer gels.Some advantages and limitations of using immobilized cells in bioreactor studies are also discussed.
