Description
Glycerol is the main by-product of transesterification of fats in the biodiesel production. 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) is a valuable chemical that can be obtained from glycerol by microbial conversion. A number of Enterobacteriaceae species are able to produce 1,3-PDO from glycerol in stirred tank freely suspended cell bioreactors. Little is known about the use of crude glycerol in the production of 1,3-PDO and about the opportunity to intensify the process via strain immobilization in packed bed bioreactors.
