Evaluation of some gelling agents for immobilization of aerobic microbial cells in alginate and carrageenan gel beads

Abstract

Different gelling agents were used to immobilized viable cells in either alginate or κ-carrageenan gel beads. Based on cell leakage from the gel beads, oxygen and glucose diffusion coefficients and toxicity of the gelling agents, SrCl2 was found to be the best for immobilization of aerobic microbial cells in, not only alginate but also carrageenan gel beads. © 1989 Science & Technology Letters.
