The utilization of immobilized cells has shown potential in several bioprocesses including wastewater treatment.
Immobilization can be considered as the natural state for several microorganisms; for example, most fungi tend to attach
firmly to natural surfaces. Therefore, it is not surprising that artificially immobilized microorganisms can produce extracellular
secondary metabolites. In industrial operations, immobilized microbial cell systems could provide additional advantages over
freely suspended cells such as simple reuse of the biomass, easier liquid-solid separation and minimal clogging in continuous-
flow systems. The immobilization of microorganisms can be defined as any technique that limits the free migration of cells.
Basically, there are two types of cell immobilization: entrapment and attachment. In the former, the organisms trapped within
the interstices of fibrous or porous materials are physically restrained by a solid and porous matrix. Our research focused on
the immobilization of Coprinus plicatilis on kaolin, Ca-alginate and gelatin. 3 or 4 age cells and different amount of cells were
used for immobilization studies. To the best of our knowledge, the results showed that gelatin was chosen as a support material
because it is a natural material with a higher immobilization capacity and is less expensive.
