dc.description.abstractA novel Candida glycerinogenes mutant, which possesses high glycerol productivity in a high phosphate concentration medium, was obtained by mutagenesis of an industrial glycerol producer. The mutant accumulated a total biomass of 11.5 g l-1, which is less than the 15 g l-1of the wild-type strain, but it consumed glucose faster than the wild-type strain did. The mutant reached its maximal glycerol concentration of 129 g l -1 in 84 h compared to 96 h for the wild-type strain. High cytoplasmic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity of the mutant in the early glycerol formation phase, leading to a rapid glycerol synthesis and accumulation, may be the main reason for the short fermentation process. © Springer 2005.
