Efficient Production of Bioethanol from Waste Glycerol Using Microwave Irradiation Induced Mutant Escherichia coli.

摘要

ABSTRACT Crude glycerol, an inevitable byproduct during biodiesel production, is emerging as a potential feedstock for fermentation, due to its availability and a reasonable price. The anaerobic digestion of glycerol derived from biodiesel manufacturing, in which COD was found to be 1010 g/kg, was studied in batch laboratory-scale reactors. Dissimilation of glycerol by Escherichia coli is strictly linked to their capacity to synthesize the highly reduced product 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO). The p.
