OBJECTIVES: To improve the production of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) in Klebsiella pneumoniae, the genes related to the formation of lactic acid, ethanol, and acetic acid were eliminated. RESULTS: Although the cell growth and 2,3-BD production rates of the K. pneumoniae ΔldhA ΔadhE Δpta-ackA strain were lower than those of the wild-type strain, the mutant produced a higher titer of 2,3-BD and a higher yield in batch fermentation: 91 g 2,3-BD/l with a yield of 0.45 g per g glucose and a productivity of 1.62 g/l.h in fed-batch fermentation. The metabolic characteristics of the mutants were consistent with the results of in silico simulation. CONCLUSIONS: K. pneumoniae knockout mutants developed with an aid of in silico investigation could produce higher amounts of 2,3-BD with increased titer, yield, and productivity.
