physiological function
gene disruption is not lethal. Disrupted strains can grow on 2,3-butanediol, but to a lesser cell density than wild-type
physiological function
dudA, the gene encoding DAR, is the key factor responsible for the formation of meso-2,3-butanediol
physiological function
-
the enzyme is a 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (BDH, EC 1.1.1.4) and also a acetoin/diacetyl reductase, that catalyzes the stereospecific oxidation of (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol and the reverse reduction of (R)-acetoin to (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol, as well as the reduction of diacetyl to (R)-acetoin. It is a pivotal enzyme for the formation of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD), a chiral compound with potential roles in the virulence of certain pathogens
