Butanediol Fermentation Notes:
Butanediol fermentation or 2,3-Butanediol fermentation is anaerobic fermentation of glucose with 2,3-butanediol as the end product. The overall reaction is: 2 pyruvate + NADH --> 2CO + 2,3-butanediol. This type of fermentation is common among facultative anaerobes Enterobacter and Klebsiella.
