ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus particularly useful for producing alcohols such as ethanol from sugars such as glucose. The apparatus comprises a container for holding a selected nutrient solution, a substrate comprising a multiplicity of fibers suitable for supporting a selected converting organism supported within the container and means for moving one of the substrate and the nutrient solution relative to the other at a speed slightly below that at which the organism becomes detached from the substrate while maintaining sufficient contact time between the nutrient solution and the converting organism to produce a satisfactory yield.
