The present invention relates to a process for producing an organic acid by fermentation, comprising the process steps: I) cultivating microorganisms in a culture medium to which are fed, as assimilable carbon sources, glycerol and a further carbonaceous compound, to allow the microorganisms to produce the organic acid, thereby obtaining a fermentation broth comprising the organic acid; II) recovering the organic acid or the salt thereof from the fermentation broth obtained in process step I); wherein, at least for a certain period of time in process step I), the consumption rate of the further carbonaceous compound (Cin g per liter per hour) is lower than the maximum theoretical consumption rate of the further carbonaceous compound (CRin g per liter per hour).

Use of glycerol with limited feed of carbohydrates for fermentation

The present invention relates to a modified microorganism having, compared to its wildtype, &#x2014;a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsA-gene, &#x2014;a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsH-gene or &#x2014;a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsA-gene and a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsH-gene, wherein the wildtype from which the modified microorganism has been derived belongs to the family of Pasteurellaceae. The present invention also relates to a method for producing succinic acid and to the use of modified microorganisms.
