“…Since the early 70s, when Chibata's group announced successful operation of continuous fermentation of L-aspartic acid (Coughlan and Kierstan, 1988), numerous research groups have attempted various microbial applications with immobilized cells (Ramakrishna and Prakasham, 1999). Environmental applications of immobilized microbial cells are reported by Bettmann and Rehm (1984), Anselmo et al (1985), Sahasrabudhe et al (1988), Oreilly and Crawford (1989), Beunink and Rehm (1990), Balfanz and Rehm (1991), Stormo and Crawford (1992), Cassidy et al (1996), Wang et al (1997), Wang et al (2002), Wang et al (2007), Zhang et al (2007), Zhou et al (2008), Bazot and Lebeau (2009), Wang et al (2010), Ahmad et al (2012) and Nickzad et al (2012).…”

The review articles on cell immobilization have been published since 1980 and reflect the general interest in this topic. Immobilized microbial cells create opportunities in a wide range of sectors including environmental pollution control. Compared with suspended microorganism technology, cell immobilization shows many advantages, such as resistance to toxic chemicals. This review presents the potential of immobilized microbial cells for treatment of toxic pollutants in industrial wastewater, the fundamentals, history and advantages of immobilized cells compared with suspended cells, characteristics of support materials and the principal methods of immobilization, with special emphasis for natural immobilization by cell adsorption.

“…In addition, cell immobilization also includes other advantages such as easy recycling, good stability, durability, and high functional efficiency, as well as the tolerance to the disadvantageous environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, toxic substances, etc. At present, cell immobilization possesses extensive application and developmental potential in the scopes of food, biology, environmental protection, and medicine (Coughlan and Kierstan, 1988;Kourkoutas et al, 2004;Leon et al, 1998). Gel entrapment of lactic acid bacteria in health-care drinks can effectively enhance its tolerance to gastric juice, bile salts, etc., and increase its survival and activity in human intestinal tracts (Doleyres et al, 2004;Kailasapathy and Masondole, 2005;Ibrahim et al, 2004;Lee and Heo, 2000;Sun and Griffiths, 2000).…”

“…In the beginning, this technology was used to increase the microbial secretion of amino acids, organic acids, antibiotics, and other useful substances or as biocatalysts in bioreactors. [23][24][25][26] Since the 1980s, this technology has been applied to the treatment of industrial wastewater, petroleum pollution and various types of organic pollution in the environmental media, all of which have been successful. [27][28][29] The immobilization of white rot fungi accelerates the reaction and improves the effect of degradation of pollutants.…”

This research focused on the degradation of chlorpyrifos via immobilized white rot fungi in soil, with the aim to select excellent degrading strains and an optimal carrier of white rot fungi. Immobilization of white rot fungi was assessed on corn stover, wheat straw, peanut shells, wood chip, and corn cobs. Phlebia sp., Lenzites betulinus and Irpex lacteus were grown in defined nutrient media for the remediation of pesticide-contaminated soils. The carrier of the biomass was determined by observing the growth of white rot fungi. The results showed that corn stover and wheat straw are suitable carriers of the immobilized white rot fungi and that Phlebia sp. and Lenzites betulinus have a positive effect on the degradation of chlorpyrifos. At 30 °C and neutral pH, the degradation rate of chlorpyrifos was 74.35 %, Phlebia sp. being immobilized by corn stover in 7 days, which was the best result compared to other combinations of strains and carriers. The orthogonal experiment showed that the pH value and temperature affected the pollutant degradability more than the initial concentration and the biomass dosage.
