Our research has mainly aimed in the production of 2,3-butanediol from two different strains such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. Since these are GRAS microorganisms, we have chosen these for our production. Mostly anaerobic species are only used for the production of 2,3-buatnediol. But we have used aerobic species for this project. Here the Bacillus cereus is the new species used for this production. From this we conclude that Bacillus cereus is also producing 2,3-butanediol. To our research, we summarize that the microbial production of 2,3-butanediol by Bacillus species which shows an efficientsynthesis of 2,3-butanediol on a laboratory scale.
