Our goal is to design a live-bacteria entrapment system. More than just encapsulating bacteria, we want to fully prevent their escape from the bead body into the surroundings. Alginate and other gel-based beads have been used successfully to prolong enzymatic activity in bioreactors[REF], but systems such as these are designed to allow steady release of microbes.

Objectives

Our goal is to design a live-bacteria entrapment system. More than just encapsulating bacteria, we want to fully prevent their escape from the bead body into the surroundings. Alginate and other gel-based beads have been used successfully to prolong enzymatic activity in bioreactors[REF], but systems such as these are designed to allow steady release of microbes.
