| Title | Nature of Yeast Cells Immobilized by Radiation Polymerization Activity Dependence on the Molecular Motion of Polymer Carriers  | ||
| Abstract | Higher activity of ethanol production due to higher density of yeast cells, was observed in yeast cells immobilized with artificial polymer carriers of higher molecular motion. These polymer carriers were prepared by radiation-induced polymerization below 0 °C. Yeast cells were im mobilized with these carriers by adsorption method during multiplication. Molecular motion of polymer carriers in swollen state was evaluated by the line width of nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum. A possible reason for higher activity was discussed. This study of relation between molecular motion of polymer carriers and activity of yeast cells immobilized with these carriers, is very useful to design the chemical and physical structure of polymer carriers for immobilization of microorganisms. | ||
