Candida glycerinogenes is an aerobe which does not depend on sulphite for production of glycerol. With a sufficient O2 supply, up to 130 g glycerol l-1 was produced with 2.6 g acetic acid l-1 as by-product. However, with an insufficient O2 supply - with higher volumes of medium or at higher corn steep liquid concentrations - the glycerol concentration was lower because the by-products, ethanol, pyruvate and lactic acid, were produced in greater amounts, up to 45 g l-1, 4.3 g l-1, 1.6 g l-1, respectively, whereas, less acetic acid (0.6 g l-1) was produced. In addition, ethanol decreased to 0.4 g l-1 and the glycerol yield improved from 34 to 50% (w/w) by adding 50 g sulphite l-1, nevertheless, acetic acid increased to 7.8 g l-1.
