1,3-Propanediol production from crude glycerol by Clostridium butyricum DSP1 in repeated batch

Background The production of biofuels from renewable energy sources is one of the most important issues in industrial biotechnology today. The process is known to generate various by-products, for example crude glycerol, which is obtained in the making of biodiesel from rapeseed oil. Crude glycerol...
