Effects of immobilization on biomass production and acetic acid fermentation of Acetobacter aceti as a function of temperature and pH

Acetobacter aceti cells were immobilized using entrapment in Ca-alginate gel and adsorption on preformed cellulose beads. The cell number within the supports showed no significant alterations on changing temperature or pH, whereas the acetic acid production was slightly increased by immobilization.
