Abstract

A technique for immobilizing cells ofAeromonas hydrophila on a titanium (IV) hydroxide matrix was developed. Immobilized cells were used to produce butane 2,3-diol from soluble starch. The influence of the addition of 1 g/l sodium acetate to the starch-based medium on diol production depended on the initial starch: acetate ratic.
