Summary
The effect of succinic acid on the growth of Klebsiella oxytoca and its production of 2,3-butanediol was studied. Increasing succinic acid from 0 g/L to 30 g/L increased the final butanediol concentration. The maximum butanediol productivity occurred at an initial succinic acid concentration of approximately 10 g/L.
