Development of acetic-acid tolerant Zymomonas mobilis strains through adaptation

Zymomonas mobilis is one of the most promising microorganisms for bioethanol production. However, its practical use on industrial scale is impeded by its high sensitivity to acetate, which is present in high concentration in pretreated biomass. This research develops an adaptive mutation method for...
