Resumen: Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel production in a yield of about 10% (w/w). The present study aims to improve the dark fermentation of glycerol by surface immobilization of microorganisms on supports. Four different supports were used—maghemite (Fe2O3), activated carbon (AC), silica gel (SiO2), and alumina (-Al2O3)—on which a newly isolated co-culture of Enterobacter spH1 and Citrobacter freundii, H3, was immobilized. The effect of iron species on dark fermentation was also studied by impregnation on AC and SiO2. The fermentative metabolites were mainly ethanol, 1,3-propanediol, lactate, H2 and CO2. The production rate (Rmax,i) and product yield (Yi) were elucidated by modeling using the Gompertz equation for the batch dark fermentation kinetics (maximum product formation (Pmax,i): (i) For each of the supports, H2 production (mmol/L) and yield (mol H2/mol glycerol consumed) increased in the following order: FC < -Al2O3 < Fe2O3 < SiO2 < Fe/SiO2 < AC < Fe/AC. (ii) Ethanol production (mmol/L) increased in the following order: FC < Fe2O3 < -Al2O3 < SiO2 < Fe/SiO2 < Fe/AC < AC, and yield (mol EtOH/mol glycerol consumed) increased in the following order: FC < Fe2O3 < Fe/AC < Fe/SiO2 < SiO2 < AC < -Al2O3. (iii) 1,3-propanediol production (mmol/L) and yield (mol 1,3PDO/mol glycerol consumed) increased in the following order: -Al2O3 < SiO2 < Fe/SiO2 < AC < Fe2O3 < Fe/AC < FC. (iv) Lactate production(mmol/L) and yield (mol Lactate/mol glycerol consumed) increased in the following order: -Al2O3 < SiO2 < AC < Fe/SiO2 < Fe/AC < Fe2O3 < FC. The study shows that in all cases, glycerol conversion was higher when the support assisted culture was used. It is noted that glycerol conversion and H2 production were dependent on the specific surface area of the support. H2 production clearly increased with the Fe2O3, Al2O3, SiO2 and AC supports. H2 production on the iron-impregnated AC and SiO2 supports was higher than on the corresponding bare supports. These results indicate that the support enhances the productivity of H2, perhaps because of specific surface area attachment, biofilm formation of the microorganisms and activation of the hydrogenase enzyme by iron species.
