Exotic glycerol dehydrogenase expressing Escherichia coli increases yield of 2,3-butanediol
Abstract Background The thriving of biodiesel industry has led to produce 10% (v/v) crude glycerol, thus creating an overflow problem. Biofuel production is restricted by Escherichia coli due to its toxicity to bacterial cells. Therefore, a platform chemical and fuel additive 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD)...
