The purpose of this book is twofold: to
discuss the fundamental mechanisms of cell immobilization, focusing on various methods of cell attachment, and to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of the present state of development in immobilized microbial systems by numerous analyses of various fermentation processes (many of which have potentially lucrative industrial applications). It is emphasized throughout the book that immobilized cells are very interesting from the scientific as well as industrial point of view. The
book is addressed to microbiologists, bioengineers, and biochemists as well as graduate students working in the field of industrial microbiology. |
