Oxygen supply to immobilized cells : 2. Studies on a coimmobilized algae-bacteria preparation with in situ oxygen generation

Adlercreutz, Patrick LU orcid ; Holst, Olle LU and Mattiasson, Bo LU (1982) In Enzyme and Microbial Technology 4(6). p.395-400
Abstract

A coimmobilized mixed culture of algae, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and bacteria, Gluconobacter oxydans, has been studied. The conversion of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propanone), catalysed by the bacteria, was used to indicate the oxygen supply in the immobilized preparation. The oxygen produced by the algae in the coimmobilized preparation was used by the bacteria more effectively than when the cells were immobilized separately and mixed within the reactor. A preparation consisting of only bacteria and no algae was much less effective. The coimmobilized preparation was used in the continuous production of dihydroxyacetone for six days without any significant loss of activity.
