Metabolic Engineering of Klebsiella pneumoniae for the Production of 2-Butanone from Glucose.

2-Butanone is an important commodity chemical of wide application in different areas. In this study, Klebsiella pneumoniae was engineered to directly produce 2-butanone from glucose by extending its native 2, 3-butanediol synthesis pathway. To identify the potential enzyme for the efficient conversi...
