Abstract:

The  possibility  of  using  raw  glycerol  from  biodiesel  process  for  the  bacteria  growth  and L-phenylalanine  production  using  recombinant  Escherichia  coli BL21(DE3)  was  investigated. Raw  glycerol  with  75.50% (w/w)  glycerol  content  was  pretreated  with  concentrated  sulfuric  acid  to reduce  the  impurities. Type A  and  type B  glycerol  containing  91.28%  and  83.93%  glycerol  content  were  obtained  after  the  acid  pretreatment. Raw  glycerol, Type A  and  type B  glycerol  and  commercial  grade  glycerol (99.5%)  at  various  concentrations (5, 10, 30 and 50 g/L)  were  used  as  a carbon  source. The  cell  dry  weight (CDW)  and  L-phenylalanine  concentration  obtained  after  36 h  of cultivation  from  raw  glycerol  were  much  higher than  that  from  other  types  of  glycerol. The  highest  CDW (3.47 g/L)  and  L-phenylalanine (55.2 mg/L)  were  obtained  from  the medium  containing 30 g/L  of  raw  glycerol. The  results  indicated  that  raw  glycerol  from  biodiesel  process  was  an  interesting  carbon  source  for  L-phenylalanine  production.
