Abstract: | Summary Growing Escherichia coli BZ18/pTG 201 cells were immobilized in Kappa-carrageenan gel beads. The bacterial growth after immobilization was studied by cellular counting and by morphological observations with electron microscopy. Kinetic studies of the Catechol 2–3 dioxygenase carried by the plasmid pTG 201 were performed with a packed-bed reactor to show the potential of such a system. High cell densities 1.7×1011 cells/ml) were observed in the cavities of the gel. Due to the difference between the cell density in suspension (8x108 cells/ml) and that within the gel cavities, a reduction of the reactor size and investment cost for processes can be predicted. |
