For most of industrial applications, enzymes and cells have to be immobilized, via very simple and cost-effective protocols, in order to be re-used for very lon

This fourth edition volume expands on the previous editions with new insights on important aspects to take into accounting when immobilizing enzymes and cells,

Enzymes and whole cells are able to catalyze the most complex chemical processes under the most benign experimental and environmental conditions. In this way, e

Growth of immobilized cells can be viewed as an alternative to growth of free cells in many instances. In others, immobilization confers a precision of control

Biotechnological processes often require the use of immobilized biocatalysts. This translation of the most successful German edition introduces the theoretical
