Abstract
In comparing ethanol production by free and Ca-alginate immobilized cu ltures of the thermotolerant yeast, Kluyveromyces marxianus IMB3, on g lucose-containing media at 45 degrees C, it was found that initial yie lds produced by the immobilized culture lagged behind those produced b y cultures in free suspension. However, in subsequent batch-feed exper iments it was demonstrated that the ethanol-producing ability of the i mmobilized preparation increased with successive feeds, while producti on by the free suspension reduced significantly.
