- 1,3-Propanediol continuous production by Clostridium butyricum VP1 1718: effect of dilution rate and substrate concentrationPublication . Gonzalez-Pajuelo, M.; Ribeiro-Cruz, A. P.; Sousa- Monagas, C. M.; Andrade, J. C.; Vasconcelos, I.
- Production of 1,3-propanediol by Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266 using a synthetic medium and raw glycerolPublication . González-Pajuelo, M.; Andrade, J. C.; Vasconcelos, I.Growth inhibition of Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266 by raw glycerol, obtained from the biodiesel production process, was evaluated. C. butyricum presents the same tolerance to raw and to commercial glycerol, when both are of similar grade, i.e. above 87% (w/v). A 39% increase of growth inhibition was observed in the presence of 100 g l 1 of a lower grade raw glycerol (65% w/v). Furthermore, 1,3-propanediol production from two raw glycerol types (65% w/v and 92% w/v), without any prior purification, was observed in batch and continuous cultures, on a synthetic medium. No significant differences were found in C. butyricum fermentation patterns on raw and commercial glycerol as the sole carbon source. In every case, 1,3-propanediol yield was around 0.60 mol/mol glycerol consumed.
- Production of 1,3-Propanediol by Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266 in continuous cultures with high yield and productivityPublication . González-Pajuelo, M.; Andrade, J. C.; Vasconcelos, I.The effects of dilution rate and substrate feed concentration on continuous glycerol fermentation by Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266, a natural 1,3-propanediol producer, were evaluated in this work. A high and constant 1,3-propanediol yield (around 0.65 mol/mol), close to the theoretical value, was obtained irrespective of substrate feed concentration or dilution rate. Improvement of 1,3-propanediol volumetric productivity was achieved by increasing the dilution rate, at a fixed feed substrate concentration of 30, 60 or 70 g l-1. Higher 1,3-propanediol final concentrations and volumetric productivities were also obtained when glycerol feed concentration was increased from 30 to 60 g l-1, at D=0.05–0.3 h-1, and from 60–70 g l-1, at D=0.05 and 0.1 h-1. 30 g l-1 of 1,3-propanediol and the highest reported value of productivity, 10.3 g l-1 h-1, was achieved at D=0.30 h-1 and 60 g l-1 of feed glycerol. A switch to an acetate/butyrate ratio higher than one was observed for 60 g l-1 of feed glycerol and a dilution rate higher than 0.10 h-1; moreover, at D=0.30 h-1 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde accumulation was observed for the first time in the fermentation broth of C. butyricum.
