Afkr the immobkition procedure descnid in Section 35.2, the immobilized-ceii-nlm airlift<br />

<strong>bioreactor</strong> was fikd wiih fresh YPG nonielectivc medmm d continuoos feeding was imtiated<br />

Unmediately. F i 6.2 shows typml resuits for a cont-uoas nm in the irnmobilized-ceIEfiim<br />

airM bioreaaor for the onginal amin at a dilution rate <strong>of</strong> 0.1 h". Glucose was completeiy<br />

consurned (Mo w 10 ma) and ethanol achieved i maximum value after 12 hom. Afkr 36<br />

hours. the ethanol concentration barune constant around 4.6 g/L and the pH remained<br />

constant at pH = 5.0. Fne ceh in the medium W y increasd and then reached a constant<br />

value <strong>of</strong> 5.40 g/L after 36 ho- nidkating steady-state. At steady-state, the cloth-bound ceii<br />

concentration was about 7.72 g/L (relative to the medium) or 5.43 mg/& (relative tu the<br />

cloth ma). which was simiiar to the remit (5 mg/m2) obtained <strong>by</strong> Joshi and Yarnazaki (19û4).<br />
