Impact of acetolactate synthase inactivation on 1,3-propanediol fermentation by Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) is an important compound that is mainly used in industry for polymer production. Fermentation of 1,3-PDO from glycerol by Klebsiella pneumoniae is accompanied by formation of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) as one of the main byproduct.
