TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pH, various carbohydrate source, initial glucose concentration and aeration on 2,3-butanediol fermentation by B. amyloliquefaciens were investigated.
Abstract: Most studies on 2,3-butanediol production by microbial fermentation have been carried out using Klebsiella oxytoca and Bacillus polymyxa. In these fermentations there is a significant conversion of carbon source into ethanol, glycerol and various organic acids as by-products. On the other hand, this investigation has shown that the major products of fermentation by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens are 2,3-butanediol and some minor acids. In a typical fermentation about 33 g of butanediol was produced from 100 g of glucose. The effect of pH, various carbohydrate source, initial glucose concentration and aeration on the 2,3-butanediol fermentation by B. amyloliquefaciens were investigated. The butanediol productivity and yield was found to be highest with glucose as the carbohydrate source. The glucose concentration was varied between 30 and 100 g dm−3 with oxygen transfer rate controlled between 47.5 and 78.0 h−1. Oxygen and the initial substrate concentrations significantly influence the yield, productivity and by-product formation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of several carbon sources,nitrogen sources,citric acid and initial concentration of sucrose on cell growth and 2,3-butanediol production by Serratia marcescens were investigated.
Abstract: Effects of several carbon sources,nitrogen sources,citric acid and initial concentration of sucrose on cell growth and 2,3-butanediol production by Serratia marcescens were investigated.The concentrations of medium components were optimized by the methods of one factor,orthogonal experiment and Box-Behnken design,and response surface analysis methods.Moreover,results showed that citric acid added in medium could improve cell growth and sugar utilization,reduce fermentation time and stimulate the production of 2,3-butanediol.It could accumulate 2,3-butanediol from 14.03 g/L up to 39.27 g/L.
