Abstract

Glycerol has drawn increasing attention as a possible fuel, because it has many desirable qualities and is abundant due to the fact that it is a byproduct of biodiesel production. Previous research has shown that non-natural enzyme cascades can be used to create a bioanode that can stepwise oxidize glycerol to carbon dioxide. Two of these enzymes are pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) dependant alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde ...
