Production of 1,3-propanediol in EGSB reactors by open mixed cultures using glycerol as the carbon source

Two pre-treatments (granules disruption and heat) were applied to granular sludge to favour the production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from glycerol by non-methanogenic bacteria in expanded granular sludge blanket (EGSB) reactors. Different hydraulic retention times (HRT) were tested to achieve a m...
