Article Synopsis
- A reactor using silicone tubes was tested for glycerol fermentation across three phases, where varying glycerol loading rates and pH levels were applied.
- In the experiments, glycerol consumption reached nearly 90%, primarily producing 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), while ethanol production was observed at higher pH and lower glycerol rates.
- After one year of using glycerol as the sole carbon source, there was a significant shift in the bacterial community, with 1,3-PDO producers becoming dominant alongside some non-glycerol degrading bacteria.
