Due to its availability, low-price, and high degree of reduction, glycerol has become an attractive carbon source for the production of fuels and reduced chemicals. Using the platform we have established from the identification of key pathways mediating fermentative metabolism of glycerol, this work
## Abstract BACKGROUND: The conversion of glycerol to valueβadded derivatives is now critical, owing to the large surplus of glycerol from biodiesel production. The main objective of this work is to develop a novel process for converting solventβfree glycerol to 1,2βpropanediol. RESULTS: Several c
