Biotechnological conversions of crude glycerol, residue deriving from biodiesel production facilities, by strains of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

(Corresponding) Papanikolaou S., Diamantopoulou P., Sarris D., Aggelis G.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Aim of the present study was to assess the ability of four Yarrowia lipolytica strains (ACA-DC 50109, LFMB Y-20, ATCC 20460 and LMBF Y-45) to grow on biodiesel-derived crude glycerol, the principal residue-stream deriving from biodiesel manufacture. Initial trials were carried out in shake-flasks...Read more

Biotechnological production of polyols through conversions of crude glycerol by newly isolated strains of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Vastaroucha E., Michou S., Kalantzi O., (Corresponding) Papanikolaou S.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of newly isolated Yarrowia lipolytica strains to grow on crude glycerol, the main by-product of the industrial production of biodiesel. In particular, the ability of the yeasts to metabolize glycerol and produce dry cell weight (DCW) and...Read more

Heterotrophic growth of Chlorella vulgaris on crude glycerol

Gougoulias N., Metsoviti M., Grigoriou M., Lamprakopoulos S., Besios A., (Corresponding) Papapolymerou G.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The heterotrophic growth of C. vulgaris using crude glycerol as the sole carbon source was studied in five 5L flasks. Air in each flask was provided at a rate of 300 L/hr and the contents were continuously stirred with a magnetic bar. Temperature, pH and initial inorganic nutrients (nitrogen,...Read more

Production of added-value metabolites during growth of wild-type yeast strains on media composed of biodiesel-derived crude glycerol

Diamantopoulou P., Filippousi R., Sarantou S., Stoforos N., Xenopoulos E., (Corresponding) Papanikolaou S.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Wild-type yeast strains of Metschnikowia sp., Rhodotorula sp. and Rhodosporidium sp. were grown under nitrogen-limited conditions with crude glycerol employed as sole substrate in shake flasks, under nitrogen-limited conditions, with initial glycerol concentration (Glol0) ≈45 g/L. Yeasts presented...Read more

Lipid production by Rhodosporidium toruloides during growth on biodiesel-derived crude glycerol

Sarantou S., Stoforos N., Ourania K., Diamantopoulou P., (Corresponding) Papanikolaou S.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

Rhodosporidium toruloides DSM 4444 when grown on biodiesel-derived glycerol under nitrogen-limited conditions was revealed as an efficient microbial lipid produced. This strain when cultivated on glycerol at initial concentration (Gly0) ~50 g/L produced dry cell weight (DCW) =18.1 g/L containing...Read more
