## Abstract Raw glycerol, the main by‐product of the bio‐diesel production process, was converted to 1,3‐propanediol by __Clostridium butyricum__ F2b. In batch cultures, 47.1 g dm^−3^ of 1,3‐propanediol were produced. Continuous cultures were conducted at a constant dilution rate (= 0.04 h^−1^) and

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** The objective of the present work is to report an efficient pre‐treatment process for sunflower oil biodiesel raw glycerol (SOB‐RG) and its fermentation to 1,3‐propanediol. **RESULTS:** The growth inhibition percentages of __Clostridium butyricum__ DSM 5431 on grade A (
## Abstract Aim of the present study was to assess and evaluate the impact of various kinds of impurities of biodiesel‐derived raw glycerol feedstock, upon microbial growth and 1,3‐propanediol (1,3‐PDO) production by __Clostridium butyricum__. Preliminary trials in 200‐mL anaerobic bottles revealed
The conversion of glycerol into high value products, such as hydrogen gas and 1,3-propanediol (PD), was examined using anaerobic fermentation with heat-treated mixed cultures. Glycerol fermentation produced 0.28 mol-H(2)/mol-glycerol (72 mL-H(2)/g-COD) and 0.69 mol-PD/mol-glycerol. Glucose fermentat
## Abstract Raw glycerol, produced in significant quantities during several industrial processes, could be further considered as a potential substrate for microbial conversions. In the present report, modelling approaches are used in order to quantify the kinetic behavior of microorganisms capable
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** __Lactobacillus reuteri__ is unable to grow on glycerol as sole carbon and energy source hence, glycerol is used as an alternative hydrogen acceptor during growth on available carbohydrates. Thus, glycerol is converted to reuterin and 1,3‐propanediol (1,3‐PDL), both prod
