Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a genetically modified lactic acid bacterium capable of producing (S,S)-2,3-butanediol stereo specifically from glucose under aerobic conditions. Additionally the invention relates to a method for producing (S,S)-2,3-butanediol and L-acetoin using the genetically modified lactic acid bacterium, under aerobic conditions in the presence of a source of iron-containing porphyrin or a source of metal ions (Fe3+/Fe2+). The lactic acid bacterium is genetically modified to express heterologous genes encoding enzymes catalysing the stereo-specific synthesis of (S,S)-2,3-butandiol; and additionally a number of genes are deleted in order to maximise the production of (S,S)-2,3-butanediol as compared to other products of oxidative fermentation.
