The cane alcohol was fermented using the alginate entrapped
cells and the A. aceti NRRL 746 cells adsorbed on
corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse and wood shavings. The
maximum acetic acid was produced (6.7 g/100 mL of
acetic acid) with the corn cobs at a fermentation efficiency
of 99% after 28 days of submerged fermentation.
