Identification and characterization of a novel 2R, 3R-Butanediol dehydrogenase from Bacillus sp. DL01

Electron J Biotechnol; 49 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: 2R,3R-butanediol dehydrogenase (R-BDH) and other BDHs contribute to metabolism of 3R/3S-Acetoin (3R/3S-AC) and 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD), which are important bulk chemicals used in different industries. R-BDH is responsible for oxidizing the hydroxyl group at their (R) configuration. Bacillus s...

Effect of nitrogen, carbon sources and agitation speed on acetoin production of Bacillus subtilis SF4-3

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (1), 2016
Background: Currently, microbial fermentation method has become the research hotspot for acetoin production. In our previous work, an acetoin-producing strain, Bacillus subtilis SF4-3, was isolated from Japanese traditional fermented food natto. However, its conversion of glucose to acetoin was relativel...
