Abstract:Immobilization of microbial cells on nanomaterials opens up broad prospects in biotechnology applications including environmental pollution control and enhancement of biofuel production. Cellimmobilization contributes to improved microbial performance, protection of microbes, and further biomass degradation. Moreover, nanoparticles as biomass support are an advanced strategy in bioremediation. The nanoparticles are interesting for immobilizing microbes due to their unique physicochemical properties.
