Background: Currently, microbial fermentation method has become the research hotspot for acetoin production.In our previous work, an acetoin-producing strain, Bacillus subtilis SF4-3, was isolated from Japanese traditionalfermented food natto. However, its conversion of glucose to acetoin was relatively low. In order to achieve ahigh-efficient accumulation of acetoin in B. subtilis SF4-3, main medium components and fermentationconditions were evaluated in this work.Results: The by-products analysis showed that there existed reversible transformation between acetoin and2,3-butanediol that was strictly responsible for acetoin production in B. subtilis SF4-3. The carbon sources,nitrogen sources and agitation speed were determined to play crucial role in the acetoin production. Theoptimal media (glucose· H2O 150 g/L, yeast extract 10 g/L, corn steep dry 5 g/L, urea 2 g/L, K2HPO4 0.5 g/L,MgSO4 0.5 g/L) were obtained. Furthermore, the low agitation speed of 300 r/min was found to bebeneficial to the reversible transformation of 2,3-butanediol for acetoin production in B. subtilis SF4-3.Eventually, 48.9 g/L of acetoin and 5.5 g/L of 2,3-butanediol were obtained in a 5-L fermenter, and the specificproduction of acetoin was 39.12% (g/g), which accounted for 79.90% of the theoretical conversion.Conclusions: The results indicated acetoin production of B. subtilis SF4-3 was closely related to the mediumcomponents and dissolved oxygen concentrations. It also provided a method for acetoin production via thereversible transformation of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol.
