Adhesion of Lactococcus lactis diacetylactis to surfaces (S. Bourassa et al.). Screening of immobilization materials for anaerobic wastewater treatment (C.S. Hwu and S.-K. Tseng). Porous silicone rubber as an immobilization matrix for microbial and mammalian cells: natural immobilization of a mass transfer limited culture environment (A.J. Knights).Local mass transfer coefficients in bacterial biofilms using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) biofilms (J.D. Bryers, F. Drummond).
Basics 2: physiology, mass transfer and dynamic modelling

John et al). Viability of immobilized cells: use of specific ATP levels and oxygen uptake rates (P. Gikas, A.G. Livingston). Nitrification activity of immobilized activated sludge evaluated by respiration rate (H. Nakamura et al.). Growth and eruption of gel-entrapped microcolonies (L.E. Hüsken et al.). Mass transfer limitations in a bioartificial pancreas (R. Willaert and G.V. Baron).
