The process of immobilization of probiotic lactic acid bacteria on sorbents from regenerated
cellulose was studied. A high efficiency of lactobacilli cell immobilization on the sorbent granules was
demonstrated. The type of sorbent most suitable for immobilization was selected and substantiated. The
relationship between an adsorption capacity and a full exchange capacity of the sorbent was evaluated in
respect to lactobacilli cells. Distinctions in adsorption were noted between physiologically-active and
inactive bacterial cells. Special features of the sorption mechanisms for physiologically-active and
inactive bacterial cells were interpreted
