Fig. 2From: Efficient production of α-acetolactate by whole cell catalytic transformation of fermentation-derived pyruvateOverview of the whole cell catalyzed approach for producing α-acetolactate, which is explored in this study (upper row). Previous approaches for producing α-acetolactate directly via fermentation (lower row). Shifting the reaction environment from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis is advantageous for accumulating α-acetolactate and higher titers can be reachedBack to article page
