Production of glycerol by hansenula anomala.
Production of glycerol by Hansenula anomala in molasses-corn steep liquor based media was studied. The accumulation and yield of glycerol was dependent on the medium composition and aeration rate; pH control did not affect the yield. Intermittent addition of sugar during fermentation resulted in significant increase in production of glycerol.
