Bioconversion of biodiesel-derived crude glycerol to 1,3-dihydroxyacetone by a potential acetic acid bacteria

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) isolated from natural resources and fermented plant beverages were screened to produce 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) from non-detoxified crude glycerol. Among them, the isolate NKC115 was identified as Gluconobacter frateurii and produced the highest amounts of DHA. Subsequen...

description Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) isolated from natural resources and fermented plant beverages were screened to produce 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) from non-detoxified crude glycerol. Among them, the isolate NKC115 was identified as Gluconobacter frateurii and produced the highest amounts of DHA. Subsequently, the effects of growth-medium conditions (initial pH, crude glycerol concentration and nitrogen sources) on growth and DHA-production capability were examined. The results showed that the crude glycerol concentration increase to above 100 g/L suppressed growth and DHA production. The highest amount of DHA obtained was 27.50 g/L, from an initial crude glycerol concentration of 100 g/L. Meanwhile, an initial pH of 5.5-7.5 in the YPGc medium did not significantly affect the bacterial growth and DHA production. The optimal nitrogen source was peptone, with DHA production at 34.70 g/L. Furthermore, overexpression of the nhaK2 gene encoding for the Na+(K+)/H+ antiporter from Acetobactor tropicalis SKU1100 in G. frateurii NKC115 improved growth and increased the accumulation of DHA (37.25 g/L) from an initial crude glycerol concentration of 20%. These results indicated that the expression of this antiporter might maintain an optimal intracellular pH and concentration of Na+ or K+, leading to the cells’ ability to tolerate high concentrations of crude glycerol.
