Summary:\+i\Saccharomyces cerevisiae\-i\ (CCT 3174 and commercial baker's yeast) was immobilised by adsorption onto chrysotile. The adsorbed yeast cells were easily washed out, but cells grown \+i\in situ\-i\ were strongly attached by entrapment by chrysotile microfibres. In fermentation experiments with 30% (w/v) glucose solution the immobilized cells showed a 1.3-fold increase in initial reaction velocity. For immobilised CCT 3174 the final ethanol yield was 26% higher than that with free cells. (Original abstract)
