Effect of variations in initial glycerol concentration and amount of biocatalyst on production performance. Illustration of 3-HPA formation for L. diolivorans LMG 19668 + pduF for bioconversion processes starting with 5 g/L CDW biocatalyst and 2% (black) or 5% crude glycerol (red) as well as 15 g/L CDW biocatalyst and 5% crude glycerol (blue). The active biomass for these bioconversion experiments was generated during batch cultivations on MRS-medium supplemented with 1,2-PDO
