Project Description

In this project the direct cross-linking of the bacteria cells into a 3D-structured macroporous, highly permeable system has been developed and used for selective and efficient purification of contaminated water from aromatic chloro derivatives (chlorophenols etc.). Advantages of the novel system are: one step immobilisation, high density of immobilised cells; no diffusion restriction of contaminant to the cells and possibility to exploit the system as a flow through bioreactor.
