Application

Ethyl 2-acetoxy-2-methylacetoacetate was used to prepare 2-acetolactate via hydrolysis with NaOH. It was also used in isolation and characterization of a novel thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus sp. for the production of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol.

Acetoin, especially the optically pure (3S)- or (3R)-enantiomer, is a high-value-added bio-based platform chemical and important potential pharmaceutical intermediate. Over the past decades, intense efforts have been devoted to the production of acetoin through green biotechniques. However, efficient and economical

Ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI) is a bifunctional enzyme in the second step of branched-chain amino acids biosynthetic pathway. Most KARIs prefer NADPH as a cofactor. However, KARI with a preference for NADH is desirable in industrial applications including anaerobic fermentation for

Methanococcus aeolicus, Methanococcus maripaludis, and Methanococcus voltae contain similar levels of four enzymes of branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis: acetohydroxy acid synthase, acetohydroxy acid isomeroreductase, dihydroxy acid dehydratase, and transaminase B. Following growth at low partial pressures of H2-CO2, the levels
