Use of the tac promoter and lacIq for the controlled expression of Zymomonas mobilis fermentative genes in Escherichia coli and Zymomonas mobilis [PDF]
The Zymomonas mobilis genes encoding alcohol dehydrogenase I (adhA), alcohol dehydrogenase II (adhB), and pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) were overexpressed in Escherichia coli and Z. mobilis by using a broad-host-range vector containing the tac promoter and the lacIq repressor gene. Maximal IPTG (isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside) induction of these

Covalently bound substrate at the regulatory site triggers allosteric enzyme activation [PDF]
The mechanism by which the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase from yeast is activated allosterically has been elucidated. A total of seven three-dimensional structures of the enzyme, of enzyme variants or of enzyme complexes form two yeast species (three of ...

A synthetic cascade with two consecutive biocatalytic steps consisting of a short‐chain alcohol dehydrogenase and an ene reductase in a biphasic system provides (R)‐citronellal with >90% conversion and >99% enantiomeric excess from inexpensive geraniol. The development of synthetic routes to produce enantiopure (R)‐citronellal as a key intermediate for

Effect of Starvation on the Viability and Cellular Constituents of Zymomonas anaerobia and Zymomonas mobilis [PDF]
SUMMARY: Zymomonas anaerobia and Z. mobilis, grown on glucose + peptone + yeast-extract medium, degraded no endocellular carbohydrate, DNA and protein even in prolonged starvation. No significant qualitative changes in protein content during starvation were detected by disc gel electrophoresis of crude extracts. Both organisms had a high content of RNA

Structure and functional characterization of pyruvate decarboxylase from Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bacterial pyruvate decarboxylases (PDC) are rare. Their role in ethanol production and in bacterially mediated ethanologenic processes has, however, ensured a continued and growing interest.

From refuse to resource: exploring technological and economic dimensions of waste‐to‐energy
Abstract Waste valorization offers a sustainable approach to waste management and the generation of biofuels and bioenergy, mitigating the environmental impact of fossil fuel production and use. Carbon emissions and food‐source competition associated with first‐generation biofuels production can be mitigated.
