Title:
OPTIMISED AND SIMPLIFIED CULTURE MEDIUM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL AND HYDROGEN FROM GLYCEROL, USING ESCHERICHIA COLI, IN ORDER TO BOOST BIOMASS PRODUCTIVITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/017710
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to an optimised and simplified culture medium for the production of ethanol and hydrogen from glycerol, using Escherichia coli. The invention consists of a specific culture medium for the process use for the biotransformation of glycerol into ethanol and hydrogen, using the microorganism E. coli MG1655. The aforementioned culture medium boosts the growth of the microorganism in order to obtain a concentration of E. coli, allowing higher ethanol production indices to be obtained compared to similar processes listed in the bibliography.
