Propionic acid can also be made from the hemicellu-loses in wood.215 These have few other uses. Steam-exploded Populus tremuloides was hydrolyzed enzymatically, then the hydrolysate treated with Propionibacterium acidipropionici to produce 18 g/L of propionic acid. Because this organism is inhibited by the product, various methods have been developed to remove it as formed. Use of ditridecylamine in oleyl alcohol with a hollow-fiber membrane gave a higher yield, final product concentration, and purity, at the same time that the production of acetate and succinate were reduced in a run of 1.5 months.216 The acid was recovered with aqueous sodium hydroxide using a second hollow-fiber membrane.

Commercial production of PA is mainly achieved through chemical synthesis from petroleum feedstocks however, fermentation is an attractive alternative method for the production of PA from renewable resources. Due to the exhaustion of petroleum resources and the serious environmental pollution caused by the utilization of fossil resources, production of PA by microbial fermentation from renewable resources has attracted increasing attention.The species that have been used for the microbial production of PA include Propimibaderiumfieudenreichii, Propionibacterium acidipropionici, Propionibacterium thoenii, and Propionibacterium jensenii.
