利用肺炎克雷伯氏菌以葡萄糖和磷酸铵盐为底物生产2,3-丁二醇

1 INTRODUCTION Interest in microbial production of 2,3-butanediol has been increasing recently due to the extensive indus-trial application of this product. This colorless and odorless liquid with a high boiling point and a low freezing point is a potential valuable fuel additive. Its heating value is 27.198kJ·g-1, which is quite near the value of ethanol (29.055kJ·g-1). Besides, condensation of diol to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) coupled with subsequent hydrogenation yields octane isom…

Production of 2,3-Butanediol by Klebsiella Pneumoniae Using Glucose and Ammonium Phosphate

The production of 2,3-butanediol by Klebsiella pneumoniae from glucose supplemented with different salts was studied. A suitable medium composition was defined by response surface experiments. In a medium containing glucose and (NH4)2HPO4, the strain could convert 137.0g of glucose into 52.4g of 2,3-butanediol and 8.4g of acetoin in shaking flasks. The diol yield amounted to 90％ of its theoretical value and the productivity was 1-1.5g·L-1·h-1. In fed-batch fermentation, the yield and productivity of diol were further enhanced by maintaining the pH at 6.0. Up to 92.4g of 2,3-butanediol and 13.1g of acetoin per liter were obtained from 215.0g of glucose per liter. The diol yield reached 98% of its theoretical value and the productivity was up to 2.1g·L-1·h-1.
