Abstract
Bacillus licheniformis produced 2,3-butanediol from glucose with an optimum yield of 47 g/100 g glucose after 72 h of growth on a peptone/beef extract medium containing 2% (w/v) glucose at pH 6.0 and 37°C. This yield of 2,3-butanediol was higher than those previously reported forKlebsiella oxytoca (37 g/100 g glucose) andBacillus polymyxa (24 g/100 glucose).
