Construction of B. licheniformis MW3 (ΔbudCΔgdh) for acetoin production. (A) Technology roadmap for acetoin production from glucose by B. licheniformis MW3 (ΔbudCΔgdh). ALS, α-acetolactate synthase; ALDC, α-acetolactate decarboxylase; BudC, meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase; GDH, (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase; UAR, unidentified acetoin reductase (based on the results of gas chromatograph in Supplementary Figure S1, this enzyme produces meso-2,3-butanediol as the reduction product of acetoin). (B) Analysis of PCR fragments to confirm budC and gdh disruption. Lane M: molecular mass standard (DNA/HindIII); Lane 1: PCR product of budC amplified with B. licheniformis MW3 genomic DNA as the template; Lane 2: PCR product of gdh amplified with B. licheniformis MW3 genomic DNA as the template; Lane 3: PCR product of budC amplified with B. licheniformis MW3 (ΔbudCΔgdh) genomic DNA as the template; Lane 4: PCR product of gdh amplified with B. licheniformis MW3 (ΔbudCΔgdh) genomic DNA as the template. The PCRs were performed with primer pairs ΔbudC-f/ΔbudC-r and Δgdh-f/Δgdh-r, respectively.
