Mechanism of microbial production of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol optical isomers and substrate specificity of butanediol dehydrogenase
Abstract 3-Hydroxybutanone (Acetoin, AC) and 2,3-butanediol (BD) are two essential four-carbon platform compounds with numerous pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis applications. AC and BD have two and three stereoisomers, respectively, while the application of the single isomer product in chemical...
