Abstract: α-acetolactate decarboxylase is one of the key enzymes in 2,3-butanediol biosynthesis pathway, and the alsD gene is analyzed by bioinformatics method. Primers are designed based on the gene sequence of α- acetolactate decarboxylase gene (alsD) in GenBank. Bacillus subtilis CICC10026 gene fragment alsD is amplified by PCR which the template is Bacillus subtilis CICC10026 genomic DNA. The fragment is sequenced and analyzed by bioinformatics software for homology analysis, secondary structure and functional analysis and 3D structure prediction. The results showed that the obtained alsD fragment was 768 bp without base mutation, and the fragment was the alsD gene sequence of Bacillus subtilis CICC10026. The results of this study lay a foundation for the construction of engineering strains which could produce 2,3-butanediol.
