Abstract
Low acid production and acid-forming process instability are becoming the major issues to limit the popularization of anaerobic fermentation to produce volatile fatty acid. Considerable research efforts have been made to address these problems, from studying the microorganisms that are primarily responsible for or detrimental to this process, to determining their biochemical pathways and developing mathematical models that facilitate better prediction of process performance to identify the mechanism and optimization of process control. A limited understanding of the complex microbiology and biochemistry of anaerobic fermentation is the primary cause of acid production upset or failure. This review critically assesses the recent advances in enhanced volatile fatty acid production from anaerobic fermentation of waste activated sludge from micro to macro scale, particularly relating to the microbiology, biochemistry, impact factors, and enhancement methods. Previous results suggest that further studies are necessary to substantially promote the efficiency and stability of acid production. One of the promising directions appears to be integrating the existing and growing pretreatment technologies and fermentation processes to enhance metabolic pathways of acetogens but inhibit activities of methanogens, which this study hopes to partially achieve.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extensive experimentation has been conducted to increment 1,3-propanediol (PDO) production using Clostridium butyricum cultures in glycerol, but computational predictions are limited. Previously, we reconstructed the genome-scale metabolic (GSM) model iCbu641, the first such model of a PDO-producing Clostridium strain, which was validated at steady state using flux balance analysis (FBA). However, the prediction ability of FBA is limited for batch and fed-batch cultures, which are the most often employed industrial processes. RESULTS We used the iCbu641 GSM model to develop a dynamic flux balance analysis (DFBA) approach to predict the PDO production of the Colombian strain Clostridium sp IBUN 158B. First, we compared the predictions of the dynamic optimization approach (DOA), static optimization approach (SOA), and direct approach (DA). We found no differences between approaches, but the DOA simulation duration was nearly 5000 times that of the SOA and DA simulations. Experimental results at glycerol limitation and glycerol excess allowed for validating dynamic predictions of growth, glycerol consumption, and PDO formation. These results indicated a 4.4% error in PDO prediction and therefore validated the previously proposed objective functions. We performed two global sensitivity analyses, finding that the kinetic input parameters of glycerol uptake flux had the most significant effect on PDO predictions. The other input parameters evaluated during global sensitivity analysis were biomass composition (precursors and macromolecules), death constants, and the kinetic parameters of acetic acid secretion flux. These last input parameters, all obtained from other Clostridium butyricum cultures, were used to develop a population balance model (PBM). Finally, we simulated fed-batch cultures, predicting a final PDO production near to 66 g/L, almost three times the PDO predicted in the best batch culture. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated a dynamic approach to predict PDO production using the iCbu641 GSM model and the previously proposed objective functions. This validated approach was used to propose a population model and then an increment in predictions of PDO production through fed-batch cultures. Therefore, this dynamic model could predict different scenarios, including its integration into downstream processes to predict technical-economic feasibilities and reducing the time and costs associated with experimentation.

Abstract
In this study, a newly strain named Clostridium butyricum YJH-09 were isolated from the sample of pond soil and identified through physiological, biochemical and 16S rDNA analysis. Then, the dhaT gene encoding a novel 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase (PDOR) was cloned from this strain and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Subsequently, the recombinant PDOR was purified and the optimal pH and temperature, specific activities and kinetic parameter were investigated. Furthermore, the whole cells of Clostridium butyricum YJH-09 mixed with BL21-dhaT were used to produce 1,3-PD through co-biotransformation. As results, 25.88g/L of 1,3-PD was generated with 0.54g/g yield from 50g/L glycerol in 30h, and the 1,3-PD production was increased more than 2-fold compared with wild type strain alone. This research would offer useful information for further development of the biosynthesis of 1,3-PD.

Abstract
Today, biofuels represent a hot topic in the context of petroleum and adjacent products decrease. As biofuels production increase, so does the production of their major byproduct, namely crude glycerol. The efficient usage of raw glycerol will concur to the biodiesel viability. As an inevitable waste of biodiesel manufacturing, glycerol is potentially an attractive substrate for the production of value-added products by fermentation processes, due to its large amounts, low cost and high degree of reduction. One of the most important usages of glycerol is its bioconversion through microbial fermentation to value-added materials like 1,3-propanediol and citric acid. There is a considerable industrial interest in 1,3-propanediol and citric acid production based on microbial fermentations, as it seems to be in competition with traditional technologies utilized for these products. In the present work, yields and concentrations of 1,3-propanediol and citric acid registered for different isolated strains are also described. Microbial bioconversion of glycerol represents a remarkable choice to add value to the biofuel production chain, allowing the biofuel industry to be more competitive. The current review presents certain ways for the bioconversion of crude glycerol into citric acid and 1,3-propanediol with high yields and concentrations achieved by using isolated microorganisms.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate was evaluated as a replacement for the base during the fermentation of glycerol by a highly productive strain of 1,3-propanediol (PDO), viz., Clostridium butyricum JKT37. Due to its high specific growth rate (µmax=0.53h-1), 40g/L of glycerol was completely converted into 19.6g/L of PDO in merely 7h of batch fermentation, leaving only acetate and butyrate as the by-products. The accumulation of these volatile fatty acids was circumvented with the addition of calcium carbonate as the pH neutraliser before the fermentation was inoculated. An optimal amount of 15g/L of calcium carbonate was statistically determined from screening with various glycerol concentrations (20-120g/L). By substituting potassium hydroxide with calcium carbonate as the pH neutraliser for fermentation in a bioreactor, a similar yield (YPDO/glycerol=0.6mol/mol) with a constant pH was achieved at the end of the fermentation.

Abstract
One of the important targets of industrial biotechnology is using cheap biomass resources. The traditional strategy is microbial fermentations with single strain. However, cheap biomass normally contains so complex compositions and impurities that it is very difficult for single microorganism to utilize availably. In order to completely utilize the substrates and produce multiple products in one process, industrial microbiome based on microbial consortium draws more and more attention. In this review, we first briefly described some examples of existing industrial bioprocesses involving microbial consortia. Comparison of 1,3-propanediol production by mixed and pure cultures were then introduced, and interaction relationships between cells in microbial consortium were summarized. Finally, the outlook on how to design and apply microbial consortium in the future was also proposed.

Abstract
Clostridium butyricum is widely used to produce organic solvents such as ethanol, butanol and acetone. We sequenced the entire genome of C. butyricum INCQS635 by using Ion Torrent technology. We found a high contribution of sequences assigned for carbohydrate subsystems (15-20 % of known sequences). Annotation based on protein-conserved domains revealed a higher diversity of glycoside hydrolases than previously found in C. acetobutylicum ATCC824 strain. More than 30 glycoside hydrolases (GH) families were found; families of GH involved in degradation of galactan, cellulose, starch and chitin were identified as most abundant (close to 50 % of all sequences assigned as GH) in C. butyricum INCQS635. KEGG metabolic pathways reconstruction allowed us to verify possible routes in the C. butyricum INCQS635 and C. acetobutylicum ATCC824 genomes. Metabolic pathways for ethanol synthesis are similar for both species, but alcohol dehydrogenase of C. butyricum INCQS635 and C. acetobutylicum ATCC824 was different. The genomic repertoire of C. butyricum is an important resource to underpin future studies towards improved solvents production.

Abstract
Co-substrate utilization of various wastes with complementary characteristics can provide a complete medium for higher hydrogen production. This study evaluated potential of apple pomace hydrolysate (APH) co-fermented with crude glycerol (CG) for increased H2 production and decreased by-products formation. The central composite design (CCD) along with response surface methodology (RSM) was used as tool for optimization and 15 g/L of CG, 5 g/L of APH and 15% (v/v) inoculum were found to be optimum to produce as high as 26.07 ± 1.57 mmol H2/L of medium. The p-value of 0.0017 indicated that APH at lower concentration had a significant effect on H2 production. By using CG as sole carbon source, reductive pathway of glycerol metabolism was favored with 19.46 mmol H2/L. However, with APH, oxidative pathway was favored with higher H2 production (26.07 ± 1.57 mmol/L) and decrease in reduced by-products (1,3-propanediol and ethanol) formation. APH inclusion enhanced H2 production, and decreased substrate inhibition.

Abstract
Cell and enzyme immobilization are often used for industrial production of high-value products. In recent years, immobilization techniques have been applied to the production of value-added chemicals such as 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO). Biotechnological fermentation is an attractive alternative to current 1,3-PDO production methods, which are primarily thermochemical processes, as it generates high volumetric yields of 1,3-PDO, is a much less energy intensive process, and generates lower amounts of environmental organic pollutants. Although several approaches including: batch, fed-batch, continuous-feed and two-step continuous-feed were tested in suspended systems, it has been well demonstrated that cell immobilization techniques can significantly enhance 1,3-PDO production and allow robust continuous production in smaller bioreactors. This review covers various immobilization methods and their application for 1,3-PDO production.

Abstract
Rapeseed meal (RSM) hydrolysate was evaluated as substitute for commercial nutrient supplements in 1,3-propanediol (PDO) fermentation using the strain Clostridium butyricum VPI 1718. RSM was enzymatically converted into a generic fermentation feedstock, enriched in amino acids, peptides and various micro-nutrients, using crude enzyme consortia produced via solid state fermentation by a fungal strain of Aspergillus oryzae. Initial free amino nitrogen concentration influenced PDO production in batch cultures. RSM hydrolysates were compared with commercial nutrient supplements regarding PDO production in fed-batch cultures carried out in a bench-scale bioreactor. The utilization of RSM hydrolysates in repeated batch cultivation resulted in a PDO concentration of 65.5 g/L with an overall productivity of 1.15 g/L/h that was almost 2 times higher than the productivity achieved when yeast extract was used as nutrient supplement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the production of biofuels from raw materials continuously increases, optimization of production processes is necessary. A very important issue is the development of wasteless methods of biodiesel production. One way of utilization of glycerol generated in biodiesel production is its microbial conversion to 1,3-PD (1,3-propanediol). RESULTS The study investigated the scale-up of 1,3-PD synthesis from crude glycerol by Clostridium butyricum. Batch fermentations were carried out in 6.6 L, 42 L and 150 L bioreactors. It was observed that cultivation of C. butyricum on a pilot scale did not decrease the efficiency of 1,3-PD production. The highest concentrations of 1,3-PD, 37 g/L for batch fermentation and 71 g/L for fed-batch fermentation, were obtained in the 6.6 L bioreactor. The kinetic parameters of 1,3-PD synthesis from crude glycerol established for batch fermentation were similar regarding all three bioreactor capacities. During fed-batch fermentation, the concentration of 1,3-PD in the 150 L bioreactor was lower and the substrate was not completely utilized. That suggested the presence of multifunctional environmental stresses in the 150 L bioreactor, which was confirmed by protein analysis. CONCLUSION The values of effectivity parameters for 1,3-PD synthesis in batch fermentations carried out in 6.6 L, 42 L and 150 L bioreactors were similar. The parameters obtained during fed-batch fermentations in the 150 L bioreactor differed in the rate and percentage of substrate utilization. The analysis of cell proteins demonstrated that a number of multifunctional stresses occurred during fed-batch fermentations in the 150 L bioreactor, which suggests the possibility of identifying the key stages in the biochemical process where inhibition of 1,3-PD synthesis pathways can be observed.

Abstract
Glycerol is a valuable raw material for the production of industrially useful metabolites. Among many promising applications for the use of glycerol is its bioconversion to high value-added compounds, such as 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD), succinate, ethanol, propionate, and hydrogen, through microbial fermentation. Another method of waste material utilization is the application of crude glycerol in blends with other wastes (e.g., tomato waste hydrolysate). However, crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, has many impurities which can limit the yield of metabolites. In this mini-review we summarize the effects of crude glycerol impurities on various microbial fermentations and give an overview of the metabolites that can be synthesized by a number of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms when cultivated on glycerol.

Abstract
1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PD) is a bifunctional organic compound of particular importance in the polymer industry for the synthesis of polyesters, polyethers and polyurethanes. Its biotechnological production from glycerol features inherent problems of nutrient limitation and inhibition(s) by substrate and product. In the present study 1,3-PD batch mathematical model developed using average batch kinetics data and independently obtained inhibition data was used to identify fresh nutrient feeding strategies (off-line on the computer) for enhanced production of 1,3-PD. Experimental implementation of one such model-based fed-batch cultivation strategy involving pseudo-steady state of substrate featured a 1,3-PD concentration of 63.5 g/L with a 1,3-PD productivity of 1.35 g/L/h which were significantly higher than batch fermentation results. This demonstrated the potential application of developed model for the design of suitable nutrient feeding strategies for high production of 1,3-PD. The methodology can also be easily adopted for other cultivations.

Adaptation dynamics of Clostridium butyricum in high 1,3-propanediol content media. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2012; 95:1541-52.

Abstract
Aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exogenous additions of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) on microbial growth and metabolites production of Clostridium butyricum VPI 1718 strain, during crude glycerol fermentation. Preliminary batch cultures in anaerobic Duran bottles revealed that early addition of 1,3-PDO caused growth cessation in rather low quantities (15 g/L), while 1,3-PDO additions during the middle exponential growth phase up to 70 g/L resulted in an almost linear decrease of the specific growth rate (μ), accompanied by reduced glycerol assimilation, with substrate consumption being used mainly for energy of maintenance requirements. During batch trials in a 3-L bioreactor, the strain proved able to withstand more than 70 g/L of both biologically produced and externally added 1,3-PDO, whereas glycerol assimilation and metabolite production were carried on at a lower rate. Adaptation of the strain in high 1,3-PDO concentration environments was validated during its continuous cultivation with pulses of 1,3-PDO in concentrations of 31 and 46 g/L, where no washout phenomena were noticed. As far as C. butyricum cellular lipids were concerned, during batch bioreactor cultivations, 1,3-PDO addition was found to favor the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. Also, fatty acid composition was studied during continuous cultures, in which additions of 1,3-PDO were performed at steady states. Lipids were globally more saturated compared to batch cultures, while by monitoring of the transitory phases, it was noticed that the gradual diol washout had an evident impact in the alteration of the fatty acid composition, by rendering them more unsaturated.
