Summary
The biomass production and the plasmid stability of immobilizedE. coli cells in K-carrageenan gel beads were investigated in continuous cultures. Several factors, such as inoculum size, gel bead volume and gel concentration were examined in order to increase the cell concentration inside the immobilized cell reactor, and therefore to increase the overall productivity.
