•A novel cell immobilization technique for bioethanol production was introduced.•Microtube array membrane was stable in 15% ethanol during shaking cultivation.•MTAM-encapsulated yeasts showed better bioethanol productivity. Cell immobilization is a way to isolate or localize intact cells in a certai...
