Journal ArticleDOI

The rebalanced pathway significantly enhances acetoin production by disruption of acetoin reductase gene and moderate-expression of a new water-forming NADH oxidase in Bacillus subtilis.

TL;DR: Through metabolic engineering strategies, acetoin production was improved, and the production of 2,3-butanediol, lactic acid and ethanol were decreased, while the fermentation duration was decreased 1.7-fold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of 2,3‐butanediol from glucose by GRAS microorganism Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

TL;DR: The strain B10‐127 produced 2,3‐BD effectively under the condition of 20% glucose (quality concentration), showed a high‐glucose tolerance and showed an excellent candidate for the microbial fermentation of 2, 3‐BD on an industrial scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic engineering strategies for acetoin and 2,3-butanediol production: advances and prospects.

TL;DR: This review summarizes metabolic engineering strategies for improvement of microbial acetoin and 2,3-BD production and proposes enhancements to current acetoin-2,3,BD production strategies, by offering a metabolic engineering approach that is guided by systems biology and synthetic biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved production of 2,3-butanediol in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by over-expression of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase.

TL;DR: Co-overexpression of bdh and gapA genes proved an effective method for enhancing 2,3-BD production and inhibiting the accumulation of unwanted by-products (acetoin, lactate and succinate).
Journal ArticleDOI

High-level production of melanin by a novel isolate of Streptomyces kathirae.

TL;DR: To enhance melanin production, the culture medium was optimized by conducting a series of batch fermentations in a defined medium, and the results were analysed statistically using a response surface method to provide novel data on melanin fermentation and identify an excellent candidate for industrial-scale microbial fermentation of melanin.
