Propionibacterium jensenii

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.
