Abstract
Higher activity of ethanol production due to higher density of yeast cells was observed in yeast cells immobilized with artificial polymer carriers of higher water content based on methoxypolyethyleneglycol methacrylate and 2‐hydroxyethylacrylate. These polymer carriers were prepared by radiation‐induced polymerization below 0°C. Yeast cells were immobilized with these carriers by adsorption method during multiplication. Two possible reasons for higher activity were discussed.Keywords
