  Um dos métodos de produção de CDs é através de células bacterianas imobilizadas, estes processos oferecem inúmeras vantagens frente aos processos produtivos que utilizam de células livres, entre elas, a habilidade em separar a massa celular do líquido de produção, com possibilidade de reutilização, facilitando as operações descontínuas e contínuas, e assim, aumentando a produtividade do reator, bem como a eliminação da necessidade de purificação de enzimas. Considerando a atual necessidade de disponibilização de CDs para a aplicação industrial, tentativas no barateamento de produção e aumento na viabilidade são válidas, desta forma, este projeto tem por objetivo o estudo da estabilidade operacional e de armazenamento de células de Bacillus sphaericus cepa 41 imobilizados, que possam ser utilizadas em vários ciclos de produção e retenham sua viabilidade durante o armazenamento, para obtenção de CDs.
