Bioethanol is a promising biofuel and has a lot of great prospective and could become an alternative to fossil fuels. Ethanol fermentation using glycerol as carbon source was carried out by local isolate, ethanologenic bacterium Escherichia coli SS1 in a close system. Factors affecting bioethanol production from pure glycerol were optimized via response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD). Four significant variables were found to influence bioethanol yield; initial pH of fermentation medium, substrate concentration, salt content and organic nitrogen concentration with statistically significant effect (p聽鈮ぢ?.05) on bioethanol production. The significant factor was then analyzed using central composite design (CCD). The optimum conditions for bioethanol production were substrate concentration at 34.5聽g/L, pH 7.61, and organic nitrogen concentration at 6.42聽g/L in which giving ethanol yield approximately 1.00聽mol/mol. In addition, batch ethanol fermentation in a 2聽L bioreactor was performed at the glycerol concentration of 20聽g/L, 35聽g/L and 45聽g/L, respectively. The ethanol yields obtained from all tested glycerol concentrations were approaching theoretical yield when the batch fermentation was performed at optimized conditions.
