| Abstract: | Summary Alcaligenes eutrophus was successfully recovered from high cell density broths by pre-treatment with polyaluminium hydroxide chloride silicate as a coagulant at 36–90 mg Al/l. The optimum pH range for cell coagulation was 10–12. Subsequent centrifugation (45×g) and filtration (pore size 0.5 mm) gave a cell recovery of higher than 90%. The energy demand for cell recovery with the coagulant was only 3–11% of that without it. |
