New processes and actual trends in biotechnology

Abstract

Abstract: A survey of immobilization techniques with special emphasis on alginate entrapment and micro hollow spheres is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of immobilization are discussed. Industrial applications of immobilization are demonstrated, especially biosensors and production of acrylamide. The fundamentals of bioprocesses with reduced water content and application as well as process examples are presented. Copyright © 1995, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
