A kinetic study of diacetyl (acetoin) reductase in the reaction from diacetyl to acetoin has been performed. Product inhibition plots, similar to those obtained for the reduction of acetoin and the reverse reaction, were obtained. The kinetic mechanisms for the reactions catalyzed by the enzyme are proposed.
