✦ Synopsis
The influence of glycerol (100 raM) on the growth kinetic and the end-products formation by Lactobacillus reuteri growing on maltose (29 mM) was examined in aerobiosis and anaerobiosis.
The presence of glycerol in aerated cultures clmnged the nmltose consumption but not the growth rate nor the fermentation balance. In a nitrogen atmosphere, L. reuteri was not able to grow on maltose alone. In the presence of both, maltose and glycerol, L. reuteri changed its fermentation pattern, producing 58 mM 1,3-propanediol as the major end product.

A method is developed for identifying measurement errors and estimating fermentation states in the presence of unidentified reactant or product. Unlike conventional approaches using elemental balances, this method employs an empirically determined basis, which can tolerate unidentified reaction spec
