“…The most predominant polyol as an osmolyte in marine yeasts is the glycerol [4]. Glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) is used in manufacturing of food additives, cosmetics, paints, paper and leather as well as in the production of pharmaceutical formulating agents [5]. Moreover, it is a significant precursor for production of appreciated chemicals such as biodiesel, butanol, hydrogen, acrolein, citric acid, dichloro-2-propanol (DCP), 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD), and 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) [1].…”
