In recent years, fermented alcohol, which can be obtained without using petrochemicals, has been in the spotlight as an energy alternative to petroleum. It is produced from sugar cane, molasses harvested from sugar cane, cellulose or starch from sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., and by fermenting them through the action of bacterial cells. In this method, alcohol productivity is thought to depend on the bacterial cell concentration. Therefore, in order to increase the bacterial cell concentration, a method of circulating the bacterial cells and a so-called immobilized cell growth method in which yeast is encapsulated in a polysaccharide-based substance are being developed. However, in the former case, the centrifugal separator used to concentrate and separate the bacterial cells becomes clogged or nozzles clogged by the solids present in the culture solution, making it increasingly difficult to circulate the bacterial cells. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically clean the centrifuge, which makes the work extremely troublesome. In the latter case, for mass production on an industrial scale,
There are many problems that are technically difficult to solve.

The immobilized yeast may be any yeast having alcohol fermentation ability, and those of the genus Saccharomyces are particularly preferably used. Immobilized yeast is one in which yeast is immobilized by enclosing it in polyacrylamide gel, sodium alginate, K. carrageenan, etc. using a conventional method. By culturing the immobilized yeast together with the bacteria in the same fermentation device under flowing conditions, the unreacted fermentable sugars that were not fermented by the bacteria are fermented to produce alcohol. and can improve the alcohol fermentation yield from sugar.
