Effects of surface treatment and process parameters on immobilization of recombinant yeast cells by adsorption to fibrous matrices

TL;DR: In this article , a review of cell immobilization techniques and support materials for cyclodextrin (CD) biosynthesis is presented, highlighting how the problems that arise from free-cell bioreactors could be mitigated by cell immobilisation.

TL;DR: This review summarises the high potential of immobilised cells systems for the fermentative production of compounds, mainly produced by representatives of the Clostridium genus.

TL;DR: In this article, a preparation method of a yeast cell immobilization medium, which comprises the following steps: boiling a fiber material in boiling water and drying the fiber material; soaking the fiber materials in a surface modified aqueous solution with a concentration of 1-100 g/L, using hydrochloric acid to adjust a PH of the solution to 7.0, fully rinsing the fiber mixture in deionized water and dry the fiber manifold; and attaching the fiber matrix to supporting framework.

TL;DR: Three distinct regions in the adhesion process are suggested in which at large and intermediate separation distances adhesion is mediated by the macroscopic surface properties as surface free energy and surface charge, respectively.

TL;DR: Modification of the enzymes immobilized on supports that did not offer the possibility of react with glutaraldehyde showed the same stability that the non modified preparations demonstrating that the mere chemical modification did not have effect on the enzyme stability.

TL;DR: Part I. Mechanisms of Microbial Adhesion and Biofilm Formation and techniques for Studying Bacterial Adhesion to Biomaterials, Yuehuei H. An and Piotr Skowronski.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the adsorption of Bacillus subtilis onto the surfaces of two minerals, corundum and quartz, as a function of time, pH, ionic strength, and bacteria:mineral mass ratio.
