Question

Is glucose is a better substrate for production of propionic acid

Answer 1

Neither glycerol nor glucose was the optimal carbon source in terms ofpropionic acid production and cell growth. ... Compared to singlesubstrate fermentation, glycerol/glucose (4/1, mol/mol) co-fermentation not only produced higher propionic acid (21.9 g l−1), but also gave higher propionic acid yieldfromsubstrate.
