-Biodiesel production (Group 6)

Methanol containing glycerol is the main by-product of biodiesel production. And


it has an inhibitory effect on the growth of microorganisms. This can be a problem
when producing biodiesel using the so called oleaginous microorganisms, which
is one of the ways of producing biodiesel. Investigate how those micro-organisms
can be utilised in the production of biodiesel, the inhibitory effect of methanol on
their growth and how this problem can be rectified.
