Optimization of media and process parameters for bioconversion of crude glycerol to hydrogen by locally isolated klebsiella pneumoniae

Bioconversion of crude glycerol to biohydrogen is promising because the cost for capital investment and operation is cheaper, and it can help in reducing waste thus making it a clean process. However, not many microbes can metabolise glycerol efficiently under anaerobic or oxygen-limited conditions....

Medium optimisation study gave the composition of 30 g/L glycerol, 3.5 g/L K2HPO4, 3.98g/L KH2PO4, 2.69 g/L (NH4)2SO4, 0.03 g/L CaCl2.2H20, 0.054 g/L FESO4.7H2O, 3.0 g/L yeast extract, and 0.54 g/L MgSO4.7H2O as the optimised medium composition. This optimised composition yielded 588.68±0.04 mmol H2/mol glycerolconsumed, 9345±63.64 mL of hydrogen, 97±1.41% glycerol uptake and 0.024±0.001 mmol ethanol/mol glycerolconsumed. Meanwhile, the optimum operating condition was found best at pH 6.0, temperature 32.5°C and 25% headspace with 82% desirability. This yielded 601.07±10.69 mmol H2/mol glycerolconsumed of hydrogen yield, 9935±176 mL of hydrogen, 97±1.4% of glycerol uptake and 0.045±0.002 mmol ethanol/mol glycerolconsumed. Finally, kinetic parameters for specific growth rate (μ) was at 0.106 h−1, glycerol consumption rate (Qgly) at 1.572 g/L/h, and yield coefficient Yp/x, Yp/s and Yx/s at 30758.51 mL/g cell, 479.26 mL/g substrate and 0.016 g cell/g substrate, respectively.
