Shake flask methodology for assessing the influence of the maximum oxygen transfer capacity on 2,3-butanediol production.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Production of 2,3-butanediol from renewable resources is a promising measure to decrease the consumption of fossil resources in the chemical industry. One of the most influential parameters on biotechnological 2,3-butanediol production is the oxygen availability during the cultivation. As 2,3-butanediol is produced under microaerobic process conditions, a well-controlled oxygen supply is the key parameter to control biomass formation and 2,3-butanediol production. As biomass is on the one hand not the final product, but on the other hand the essential biocatalyst, the optimal compromise between biomass formation and 2,3-butanediol production has to be defined.

Results

A shake flask methodology is presented to evaluate the effects of oxygen availability on 2,3-buta
