Résumé
Waste glycerol is produced in excess by several industries, such as during biodiesel production. In this work, the metabolic versatility of anaerobic sludge was explored towards waste glycerol valorization. By applying different environmental (methanogenic and sulfate-reducing) conditions, three distinct microbial cultures were obtained from the same inoculum (anaerobic granular sludge), with high microbial specialization, within three different phyla (Thermodesulfobacteriota, Euryarchaeota and Pseudomonadota). The cultures are capable of glycerol conversion through different pathways: (i) glycerol conversion to methane by a bacterium closely related to Solidesulfovibrio alcoholivorans (99.8% 16S rRNA gene identity), in syntrophic relationship with Methanofollis liminatans (98.8% identity), (ii) fermentation to propionate by Propionivibrio pelophilus strain asp66 (98.6% identity), with a propionate yield of 0.88 mmol mmol
