Production of Acetaldehyde by Zymomonas mobilis [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987 Mutants of Zymomonas mobilis were selected for decreased alcohol dehydrogenase activity by using consecutively higher concentrations of allyl alcohol. A mutant selected by using 100 mM allyl alcohol produced acetaldehyde at a level of 4.08 g/liter when the organism was grown in aerated batch cultures on a medium ...

Simultaneous saccharification/fermentation with zymomonas mobilis [PDF]
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1986 In recent years, an ethanol production process has been developed which utilizes Trichoderma reesei cellulase and Candida brassicae IFO 1664 in the simultaneous saccharification/fermentation (SSF) of cellulose to ethanol. The direct production of ethanol from cellulose in an SSF process alleviates the problem of end production inhibition.

Molecular mechanism of enhanced ethanol tolerance associated with hfq overexpression in Zymomonas mobilis [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Zymomonas mobilis is a promising microorganism for industrial bioethanol production. However, ethanol produced during fermentation is toxic to Z. mobilis and affects its growth and bioethanol production. Although several reports demonstrated that the RNA-

Regulation of biofilm formation in Zymomonas mobilis to enhance stress tolerance by heterologous expression of pfs and luxS [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Zymomonas mobilis is a potential alternative of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce cellulosic ethanol with strengths in cofactor balance, but its lower tolerance to inhibitors in the lignocellulosic hydrolysate restricts the application.

The influence of centrifugation on Zymomonas mobilis aggregation [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2002 Flocculent Zymomonas mobilis breaks down in smaller flocs and individual cells when centrifuged. The main consequence of it is an increase in the dispersion of the sample, suggesting that the influence of the centrifugal force on the aggregation of cells is worth to study.
