Since these microorganisms do not require specific vitamins or amino acids for fermentation, there is an advantage that the number of steps required when isolating and purifying 2,3-butanediol from the fermentation broth is reduced. However, these microorganisms are pathogenic and are known to cause respiratory infections and the like. Therefore, in order to cultivate these fermentation bacteria in large quantities for the purpose of industrial 2,3-butanediol production, facilities for strict management are required, leading to an increase in cost.
