Fats, production using biotechnology

VAPs and its recycling into lipids and/or fats by various microbes. Biotechnological processes have been studied extensively for years, wifh a number of differenf microorganisms, to use glycerol as a carbon source for bioconversions. Some of the useful chemicals thaf can be produced by bioconversions include 1,3-PDO, succinic acid, citric acid, and PHAs (Koutinas et al., 2007), while the production of other chemicals is still being explored.
