1,3-Propanediol was produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae using crude glycerol obtained from biodiesel production and it could be concluded that the crude Glycerol could be directly converted to 1, 3-PD without any prior purification
Abstract
1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PD) was produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae using crude glycerol obtained from biodiesel production. The 1,3-PD concentration of 51.3 g/l−1 on crude glycerol from alkali-catalyzed methanolysis of soybean oil was comparable to that of 53 g/l−1 on crude glycerol derived from a lipase-catalyzed process. The productivities of 1.7 g l−1 h−1 on crude glycerol were comparable to that of 2 g l−1 h−1 on pure glycerol. It could be concluded that the crude glycerol could be directly converted to 1,3-PD without any prior purification.

Fermentation of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol by Klebsiella and Citrobacter strains

TL;DR: Glycerol-fermenting anaerobes were enriched with glycerol at low and high concentrations in order to obtain strains that produce 1,3-propanediol, and Enterobacterial strains of the genera Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Citrobacter showed similar product patterns except for one group which formed limited amounts of ethanol, but no propanediol.
