Abstract
The present invention relates to a microbial consortium, especially adapted for growth and production of 1,3-propanediol from a culture medium with high glycerinecontent and specifically with a high concentration of industrial glycerine. More particularly, this microbial consortium comprises at least one strain C. acetobutylicum and at least one strain chosen among strains of C. sporogenes and/or strains of C. sphenoides. The invention also relates to a method for the production of 1,3-propanediol by culturing this microbial consortium resulting in a co-culture of these particular different microorganisms.
