Bioconversion from crude glycerin by Xanthomonas campestris 2103: xanthan production and characterization

The production and rheological properties of xanthan gum from crude glycerin fermentation, a primary by-product of the biodiesel industry with environmental and health risks, were evaluated. Batch fermentations (28 °C/250 rpm /120 h) were carried out using crude glycerin, 0.01% urea and 0.1% KH2PO4,...
