cells. Tests <strong>of</strong> the proposed model were also carried out with pubüshed experimental data<br />

fmm independent researchers. The model successfuUy predicted the experimental data for<br />

different recombinant yeast strains The sirnplicity, feasibility, accuracy and generality <strong>of</strong><br />

the model rnake it very usefi11 for designing, scaiing-up, controlling and optimizing<br />

recombinant yeast fermentation processes.<br />

6. An immobilized-cell-fi airlift <strong>bioreactor</strong> was developed for the recombinant yeast.<br />

The performance <strong>of</strong> the UNnobilized ceU system was compared with the corresponding<br />

free suspension ce11 system at different dilution ntes using the YPG nonselective medium.<br />

Enhanced enzyme pmductivity and <strong>production</strong> stability in the immobilized cell system<br />

were observed. Expenmental data indicated that the immobilized cells maintained a higher<br />

proportion <strong>of</strong> plasmid-bearing cells for longer penods under continuous opention. By<br />

opentinp the immobilized-celi-film <strong>bioreactor</strong> in repeated batch mode. the stability <strong>of</strong> the<br />

recombinant yeast was funher improved. ïhis is possibly the result <strong>of</strong> retention <strong>of</strong> a<br />

higher proponion <strong>of</strong> plasmici-karing cells in the immobilizûtion mauix. The attached<br />

yeast fürn behaved as a plasmid-bearing c d reservoir and continuously generated plasmid-<br />

bearing cells. providing for enhanced apparent plasmid stability.<br />

7. A mathematical model was developed to describe plasmid loss and enzyme <strong>production</strong><br />

Jecay kinetics in the bobilized recombinant yeast system based on ûn ideaiized bi<strong>of</strong>ilm<br />

model. Correlation between plasmid loss and enzyme <strong>production</strong> decay was estabüshed.<br />

The pmposed model successfully described the enhanced effects observed in the
