The immobilization of yeast cells was carried out by using the copolymer produced by radiation polymerization of hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and glyciolyl methacrylate (GMA) monomer at - 78℃ low temperature. The immobilized cells with the copolymer, poly (HEA-GMA) had higher ethanol productivity than free cells. However, the ethanol praductivity of immobilized cells varied with the composition of copolymer, in which the ethanol productivity of immobilized yeast cells with the copolymer from 17% HEA and 6% GMA was the highest, 29 mg/ml•h, increasing by 3 times in comparison with that of free cells. And it was obvious that the activity of immobilized yeast cells was higer when the concentration of monomer was 20%—30%. In this work, the relation between the properties of copolymer and the ethanol productivity of immobilized yeast cells was also investigated.
