The enormous production of glycerol, a waste stream from biodiesel industries, as a low-
value product has been causing a threat to both the environment and the economy …

H 2 production by dark fermentation using mixed cultures has been studied intensively
during the last two decades, and its feasibility has been demonstrated. Different substrates …

Gluconobacter oxydans is a well-known acetic acid bacterium that has long been applied in
the biotechnological industry. Its extraordinary capacity to oxidize a variety of sugars …

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are a group of bacteria that can oxidize many substrates such as
alcohols and sugar alcohols and play important roles in industrial biotechnology. A majority …

Tailoring reactive oxygen species (ROS) in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in a
controlled manner is essential in chemical synthesis and environmental applications. In this …

Different from other aerobic microorganisms that oxidise carbon sources to water and
carbon dioxide, Gluconobacter catalyses the incomplete oxidation of various substrates with …

In the present work, optimization of crude glycerol fermentation to produce malic acid by
using Aspergillus niger was investigated using response surface methodology and artificial …

Abstract “Dirty” glycerol from biodiesel production is having a considerable environmental
impact since its disposal is expensive and difficult. The increased biodiesel production in the …

Industrial biotechnology faces the challenge of providing significant economic advantages
using sustainable processes either to establish new processes, to displace established …

In this work, several immobilization strategies for Gluconobacter oxydans NBRC 14819
(Gox) were tested in the bioconversion of crude glycerol to dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Agar …
