Summary
A method has been described for immobilization of yeast cells by adsorption to glass surface using polyethylenimine for coating cells or glass or both. The immobilized yeast cells were found to be viable and adhered strongly as a monolayer, which could not be desorbed by washing with running tap water or under extreme conditions of pH and ionic strength or during repeated uses in sucrose solutions.
