Abstract excerpt
Several microorganisms can produce 2,3-butanediol (BDO), an industrially promising chemical. In this study, a Bacillus licheniformis named as 4071, was isolated from soil sample. It is a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) strain and could over-produce 2,3-BDO. Due to its mucoid forming characteristics, UV-random mutagenesis was carried out to obtain a mucoid-free strain, 4071-15. As a result, capabilities of...
