The effects of dilution rate and substrate feed concentration on continuous glycerol fermentation by Clostridium butyricum VPI 3266, a natural 1,3-propanediol producer, were evaluated in this work. A high and constant 1,3-propanediol yield (around 0.65 mol/mol), close to the theoretical value, was obtained irrespective of substrate feed concentration or dilution rate. Improvement of 1,3-propanediol volumetric productivity was achieved by increasing the dilution rate, at a fixed feed substrate concentration of 30, 60 or 70 g l(-1). Higher 1,3-propanediol final concentrations and volumetric productivities were also obtained when glycerol feed concentration was increased from 30 to 60 g l(-1), at D=0.05-0.3 h(-1), and from 60-70 g l(-1), at D=0.05 and 0.1 h(-1).30 g l(-1) of 1,3-propanediol and the highest reported value of productivity, 10.3 g l(-1) h(-1), was achieved at D=0.30 h(-1) and 60 g l(-1) of feed glycerol. A switch to an acetate/butyrate ratio higher than one was observed for 60 g l(-1) of feed glycerol and a dilution rate higher than 0.10 h(-1); moreover, at D=0.30 h(-1) 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde accumulation was observed for the first time in the fermentation broth of C. butyricum.
