    AnnotationIn the continuous systems, such as continuous beer fermentation, immobilized cells are kept inside the bioreactor for long periods of time. Thus an important factor in the design and performance of the immobilized yeast reactor is immobilized cell viability and physiology. A mathematical model of the immobilized yeast biofilm growth on the surface of spent grain particles based on cell deposition, immobilized cell growth, and immobilized biomass detachment was formulated. The concept of the active fraction of immobilized biomass and the maximum attainable biomass load was included into the model. The model successfully predicted the dynamics of the immobilized cell growth, maximum biomass load, free cell growth, and glucose consumption under constant hydrodynamic conditions in a bubble-column reactor. Good agreement between model simulations and experimental data was achieved.
