Abstract:
Yeast cells patterned by pulsed jet electrospray showed a high alcoholic fermentation rate. Multi-dimensional patterns of individual yeast cells were produced by varying the experimental parameters of the electrospray system. The electrospray process, which employed a vibrational electric field, could control patterns of viable yeast cells at a cellular resolution. This novel system for electrospraying viable cells can be applied to biological process engineering including whole cell biochip techniques and micro fermentation processes for biochemical studies.
