Abstract
Polyurethane foam cubes were employed as carriers to immobilize Rhizop us oryzae for L(+)-lactic acid production. The immobilizing capacity r eached 450 g-fresh cell/l-cube. The production rate of L(+)-lactic aci d could be threefold increased by using the immobilized R. oryzae. The immobilized cells could be steadily used in repetitive fermentations for more than 10 batches.
