Abstract :
In this paper, we presented electro deposition of calcium alginate for cell writing directly. The calcium alginate is generated on the surface of anode, which is immersed in mixed solution of sodium alginate and CaCO3 powder, when charged with electricity. The thickness of gel, which is produced on the anode surface, increases along with enlargement of current. At last, we mixed yeast cells in the sodium alginate solution (1%) with suspended CaCO3 particles (0.5%) to observe the growth situation of yeast cells.
