Improved glycerol utilization by a triacylglycerol-producing Rhodococcus opacus strain for renewable fuels

Background: Glycerol generated during renewable fuel production processes is potentially an attractive substrate for the production of value-added materials by fermentation. An engineered strain MITXM-61 of the oleaginous bacterium Rhodococcus opacus produces large amounts of intracellular triacylg...
