Jhonatan A Hernandez-Valdes et al.
Frontiers in microbiology, 11, 1032-1032 (2020-06-12)
Some secondary metabolites of fermentative bacteria are desired compounds for the food industry. Examples of these compounds are diacetyl and acetaldehyde, which are produced by species of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) family. Diacetyl is an aromatic compound, giving the
Zhen Liu et al.
Bioresource technology, 102(22), 10741-10744 (2011-09-29)
Production of highly pure (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol ((2S,3S)-2,3-BD) and (3S)-acetoin ((3S)-AC) in high concentrations is desirable but difficult to achieve. In the present study, glucose was first transformed to a mixture of (2S,3S)-2,3-BD and meso-2,3-BD by resting cells of Klebsiella pneumoniae CICC
Pieter Moons et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 77(10), 3422-3427 (2011-03-29)
During fermentation of sugars, a number of bacterial species are able to switch from mixed acid production to acetoin and 2,3-butanediol production in order to avoid lethal acidification of their environment, although the regulation of this switch is only poorly
Maria del Pilar Marquez-Villavicencio et al.
PloS one, 6(8), e22974-e22974 (2011-08-31)
Pectobacterium species are necrotrophic bacterial pathogens that cause soft rot diseases in potatoes and several other crops worldwide. Gene expression data identified Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum budB, which encodes the α-acetolactate synthase enzyme in the 2,3-butanediol pathway, as more highly
Ranjita Biswas et al.
Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 94(3), 651-658 (2012-03-01)
Production of 2,3-butanediol by Bacillus subtilis takes place in late-log or stationary phase, depending on the expression of bdhA gene encoding acetoin reductase, which converts acetoin to 2,3-butanediol. The present work focuses on the development of a strain of B.
