Diol production byAeromonas hydrophila: Comparison of different immobilization techniques

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Techniques for immobilizing intact cells ofAeromonas hydrophila by cross-linking, attachment to an inorganic matrix, or entrapment in a polymeric gel are compared. Cells immobilized on a titanium (IV) hydroxide matrix were suitable for producing butane 2,3-diol from starch, whereas cells entrapped in polyacrylamide were a better catalyst for producing the diol from glucose.
