ZYMOMONAS WITH IMPROVED ETHANOL PRODUCTION IN MEDIUM CONTAINING CONCENTRATED SUGARS AND ACETATE
摘要
Through screening of a Zymomonas mutant library the himA gene was found to be involved in the inhibitory effect of acetate on Zymomonas performance. Xylose-utilizing Zymomonas strains further engineered to reduce activity of thehimA gene were found to have increased ethanol production in comparison to a parental strain, when cultured in mixed-sugars medium comprising xylose, and, in particular, in the presence of acetate.
