Filamentous cells of Trichoderma reesei were immobilized by an adhesion method using carriers prepared by radition polymerization and the effects of the ionic properties of the carriers on cellulase productivity have been investigated. The cationic polymers were better than anionic polymers in the adhesion of the cells. Enzyme productivity was affected by the ionic property of the polymer, the concentration of the coating monomer and the hydrophobicity of the pre‐coating polymer.
