γ-polyglutamic acid (PGA) was firstly used for recovery and immobilization of Pseudomonas delafieldii R-8 cells in biodesulfurization process. The PGA mediated flocculation was combined with celite adsorption to immobilize R-8 cells and the as-prepared immobilized cells showed a high initial specific desulfurization rate at 0.243 mmol l-1 h-1 and a good desulfurization stability with 95% desulfurization activity remained after 6 batches of desulfurization processes.
