Glycerol Oxidation with Zeolite and Hierarchical Zeolite as Catalysts and Electrocatalysts
Glycerol overproduction as a byproduct in biodiesel synthesis is envisioned to limit further growth of biodiesel industry. To overcome this, glycerol conversion through chemical and electrochemical oxidation toward more valuable products is a promising path. In the present PhD thesis different …

The role of respiration-dependent proton translocation in the acid tolerance of Gluconobacter oxydans
… ability to carry out rapid, single-step polyol oxidation catalyzed by membrane bound ehydrogenases. Experiments were designed to determine whether acid tolerance is associated with rapid polyol oxidation in this organism. Washed cells were exposed to 0.1 M or 0.5 !vt NaCI at pH 3.20; subsequent …
