    Abstract : Candidmagnoliae and Candida glycerinogenes are the yeast isolated from the natural environment used for the production of glycerol. In this work potential of glycerol production by both candida species was compared by the fermentation of glucose by optimizing certain parameters.C.glycerimogenesconverts up to 64.5% (w/w) of the available glucose into glycerol and it was 55% in C. magnolia. C. glycerinogenesyields 9% of higher concentration of glycerol than C. magnoliae. In C. magnoliaethe optimum temperature of 30 o C and a pH of 5 yields highest glycerol production whereas for C.glycerinogenesa temperature of 32 o C and a pH of 5. The parameters which found to influence the glycerol production like phosphate ,glucose were studied
