Abstract Backgrounds: Whey is the major pollution source from the dairy industry. Exploring new outlets for whey utilization is urgently needed to decline its environmental pollution. In this study, we explored the possibility of using whey powder to produce 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD), an important platform chemical.Results: A Klebsiella oxytoca strain PDL-0 was selected from five 2,3-BD producing strains based on its ability to efficiently produce 2,3-BD from lactose, the major fermentable sugar in whey. Five genes including pox, pta, frdA, ldhD, and pflB were knocked out in K. oxytoca PDL-0 to decrease the production of byproducts like acetate, succinate, lactate, and formate. Using fed-batch fermentation of K. oxytoca PDL-0 ΔpoxΔptaΔfrdAΔldhDΔpflB, 74.9 g/L 2,3-BD was produced with a productivity of 2.27 g/L/h and a yield of 0.43 g/g from lactose. In addition, when whey powder was used as the substrate, 65.5 g/L 2,3-BD was produced within 24 h with a productivity of 2.73 g/L/h and a yield of 0.44 g/g.Conclusion: This study proved the efficiency of K. oxytoca PDL-0 to metabolize whey for 2,3-BD production. Due to its characteristics of non-pathogenicity and efficient lactose utilization, K. oxytoca PDL-0 might also be used in the production of other important chemicals using whey as the substrate.

Abstract Background: Whey is a major pollutant generated by the dairy industry. To decrease environmental pollution caused by the industrial release of whey, new prospects for its utilization need to be urgently explored. Here, we investigated the possibility of using whey powder to produce 2,3-butanediol (BDO), an important platform chemical. Results: Klebsiella oxytoca strain PDL-0 was selected because of its ability to efficiently produce BDO from lactose, the major fermentable sugar in whey. After deleting genes pox , pta , frdA , ldhD , and pflB responding for the production of by-products acetate, succinate, lactate, and formate, a recombinant strain K. oxytoca PDL-K5 was constructed. Fed-batch fermentation using K. oxytoca PDL-K5 produced 74.9 g/L BDO with a productivity of 2.27 g/L/h and a yield of 0.43 g/g from lactose. In addition, when whey powder was used as the substrate, 65.5 g/L BDO was produced within 24 h with a productivity of 2.73 g/L/h and a yield of 0.44 g/g. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the efficiency of K. oxytoca PDL-0 for BDO production from whey. Due to its non-pathogenicity and efficient lactose utilization, K. oxytoca PDL-0 might also be used in the production of other important chemicals using whey as the substrate.
