Fermentation of residual glycerol by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 in pure and mixed cultures.

The aim of this research was to estimate the production of hydrogen, organic acids and alcohols by the strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 using residual glycerol as a carbon source. The experiments were carried out in pure and mixed cultures in batch experiments. Three different sources of inocula for mixed culture were used.
