Abstract:BACKGROUND1,3‐Propanediol (PDO) is a raw material/specialty chemical/additive in several industrial applications. A new wild‐type Clostridium strain BOH3 can utilize crude glycerol (CG) and produce PDO. This investigation reveals its potential for PDO production from CG.RESULTSInitially, inoculum of strain BOH3 was cultured from reinforced clostridial medium (RCM) with glucose (medium‐A), and modified‐RCM with glycerol (medium‐B). While fermenting 20 g/L glycerol, the cells cultivated from medium‐A produced 5.… Show more
