Abstract excerpt
Mutants with overexpression of α-acetolactate synthase (ALS), α-acetolactate decarboxylase, and acetoin reductase (AR), either individually or in combination, were constructed to improve 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) production in Klebsiella pneumoniae. The recombinant strains were characterized in terms of the enzyme activity, 2,3-BD yield, and expression levels. The recombinant K. pneumoniae strain (KG-rs) that...
