Figure 3. Nano-tubular cellulose (NC) and promotion of the alcoholic fermentation.
(a) Fermentation kinetics observed at 25°C and 15°C by free cells and cells immobilised on NC (NC-yeast biocatalyst). (b) Arrhenius plot for evaluation of the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor of alcoholic fermentation performed with free and NC-yeast biocatalyst. (c) Activation energies and reaction rate constants of the fermentations made using free cells (FC) and cells immobilised on NC (IC).
