In fluidized bed reactors, cells are "immobilized" in small particles which move with the fluid. The small particles create a large surface area for cells to stick to and enable a high rate of transfer of oxygen and nutrients to the cells.

The fluidized bed reactor is most suitable when a high viscosity substrate solution and a gaseous substrate or product are used in a continuous reaction system. The figure below illustrates a continuous fluidized bed reactor:

In this system, care must be taken to avoid the destruction and decomposition of immobilized enzymes. The particle size of immobilized enzymes is an important factor for the formation of a smooth fluidized bed
