Biosynthesis of xanthan gum from residual glycerin from biodiesel production for drilling fluids

What is it about?

Several reports have focused on the value and biological transformation of industrial wastes as an alternative substrate for the production of high value-added components. Thus, glycerin from biodiesel production is an important alternative to overcome the cost of the fermentation medium, which, for example, is a critical aspect of commercial production and commercial applications of xanthan.
