    Abstract:

    Bacillus subtilis 168 is a safe strain for industrial-scale microbial production of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD). However, a large quantity of by-product of acetoin (AC) is accumulated during 2,3-BD fermentation process. acetoin reductase (ACR) is the key enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of acetoin to 2,3-BD. In this study,in order to improve 2,3-BD production,we firstly cloned the acr gene of acetoin reductase into B. subtilis 168,and then further constructed the recombinant strain B. subtilis 168/pMA5-acr. The results showed that the yield and conversion rate of the 2,3-BD were increased up to 28.62% and 22.87% by the recombinant strain,respectively. Whereas the accumulation of the main by-product of acetoin decreased by 20.01%. Furthermore,the molar yields of by-products of formic acid,acetic acid,lactic acid,and succinate were also decreased.
