Various Lactobacillus reuteri strains were screened for the ability to convert glycerol to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) in a glycerol-glucose co-fermentation. Only L. reuteri DSM 20016, a well-known probiotic, was able to efficiently carry out this bioconversion. Several process strategies were employed to improve this process. Co²⁺ addition to the fermentation medium, led to a high product titer (46 g/l) of 1,3-PDO and to improved biomass synthesis. L. reuteri DSM 20016 produced also ca. 3 µg/g of cell dry weight of vitamin B₁₂, conferring an economic value to the biomass produced in the process. Incidentally, we found that L. reuteri displays the highest resistance to Co²⁺ ions ever reported for a microorganism. Two waste materials (crude glycerol from biodiesel industry and spruce hydrolysate from paper industry) alone or in combination were used as feedstocks for the production of 1,3-PDO by L. reuteri DSM 20016. Crude glycerol was efficiently converted into 1,3-PDO although with a lower titer than pure glycerol (33.3 vs. 40.7 g/l). Compared with the fermentation carried out with pure substrates, the 1,3-PDO produced was significantly lower (40.7 vs. 24.2 g/l) using cellulosic hydrolysate and crude glycerol, but strong increases of the maximal biomass produced (2.9 vs 4.3 g/l CDW) and of the glucose consumption rate were found. The results of this study lay the foundation for further investigations to exploit the biotechnological potential of L. reuteri DSM 20016 to produce 1,3-PDO and vitamin B₁₂ using industry byproducts.

디메틸 테레프탈레이트(DMT)와 1,3-프로판디올(PDO)을 175~190 $^{\circ}C$ 사이의 일정 온도에서 티타늄부톡사이드(TBO) 촉매를 사용하여 에스테르교환반응 속도에 대해서 조사하였다. 에스테르교환반응 정도는 반응기 밖으로 유출되어 나오는 메탄올의 양으로 결정하였으며, 메탄올의 수득률은 반응온도, PDO/DMT의 몰비 및 촉매농도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 반응차수는 DMT, PDO 및 촉매의 농도에 대해 각각 1차 반응이며, 총괄차수는 3차 반응이었다. 반응속도상수로 계산된 활성화에너지는 26.93 kcal/mole 이었으며, 생성된 비스(2-히드록시트리메틸)테레프탈레이트(BHTMT)의 용융온도는 85.2 $^{\circ}C$, 용융열은 141.3 J/g 이었다.

Co-production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) was suggested as an innovative strategy to overcome several limitations occurring in the single production of 3-HP from glycerol. In this study, two new isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, which produce less lipopolysaccharide (LPS) thus considered less pathogenic than K. pneumoniae DSM 2026, were compared and evaluated for their potential for the co-production of 3-HP and 1,3-PDO. The newly isolated strains showed significantly faster sedimentation rate than DSM, which should be beneficial for downstream processing. Analysis of genome sequences of the isolates confirmed the presence of all genes necessary for glycerol assimilation, 1,3-PDO production and biosynthesis of coenzyme $B_{12}$. Co-production yield was highest under anaerobic condition while cell growth was highest under aerobic condition. Both strains showed similarly good performance for the co-production although J2B gave the slightly higher co-production yield of 0.80 mol/mol than GSC021 (0.75 mol/mol). The evaluation of the newly developed strains presented here should be useful in designing similar evaluation experiments for other microorganisms.

Poly(trimethylene 2,6-naphthalate)(PTN)은 dimethyl-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate(NDC)와 1,3-propanediol(PDO)로 합성된 polyester이다. 비록 PTN은 아직 상업화된 resin은 아니지만 Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT)와 비슷한 화학적 구조를 가지며 PTT 보다 높은 유리전이 온도(72$^{\circ}C$)를 나타내고 있으므로 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있다. 특히 최근에 1,3-propanediol based polyester는 가스 차탄 특성이 우수하다는 것이 보고되었으며 PTN의 산소, 이산화탄소 등 가스 차단 특성은 poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalete)(PEN)보다 우수한 것으로 보고되었다.

1950년 Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(이하 PET)의 상업화 이후 Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(이하 PTT)는 동종의 Poly(methylene terephthalate)계열의 고분자 중에서 Poly(butylene terephthalate) (이하 PBT)와 함께 최근 가장 주목받는 섬유 중의 하나이다. PTT 섬유는 얼마 전까지만 해도 주원료인 1,3-propanediol(이하 PDO)의 가격이 너무 높아 지난 60년 간 상업화 및 학문적 연구가 거의 이루어지지 않다가 최근 미국의 Shell사와 독일의 Degussa(미국의 Dupont)에 의해 PDO가 대량 생산되면서 상업화에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. (중략)

ED method is employed to effectively remove the organic acid salts in actual PDO fermentation broth. The lower electrical potential is selected to avoid the serious membrane fouling so as to ensure a stable and durative desalination process. Under the selected operation conditions, about 90% of organic acids salts are removed from PDO fermentation broth successfully by ED process. To reduce the loss of PDO product due to the diffusion, the operation time should be considered carefully. And based on mass balance equation and irreversible thermodynamics approach, a mathematical model is developed to describe the desalination process of an aqueous solution containing neutral solute by ED method. While the influence of concentration polarization is reflected by decreasing the conductivity of membrane, the model is verified well to describe the ED processes under varied operation conditions. Through the model, ED process of actual PDO fermentation broth is simulated to get a suitable scope of initial concentration in concentrated compartment.

The synthesis of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT), whose application is being expanded very rapidly to new apparel and carpet materials, was investigated by melt condensation polymerization using 1,3-propanediol (PDO) and terephthalic acid (TPA). No catalyst was used in the 1st step reaction (esterification), but tetrabutyl titanate(TBT) was used as a polyesterification catalyst ranging from 25 to 75 ppm based on the weight of TPA used in the 2nd step reaction (polyesterification). The molar ratio of PDO to TPA was set as 2.2:1. The effect of reaction conditions on the color and intrinsic viscosity of the final product was investigated. (omitted)
