Zymomonas Mobilis. The alphaproteobacterium Zymomonas mobilis possesses several desirable characteristics for industrial-scale biofuel production. The conditions of their maintenance, preculture and immobilization were presented in the.
Zymomonas mobilis is a Gram negative, facultative anaerobic, non-sporulating, polarly-flagellated, rod-shaped bacterium. Zymomonas mobilis has the special Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway and it has excellent industrial characteristics, including low cell mass formation, high-specific productivity,ethanol yield. Zymomonas mobilis is a rod shaped gram-negative bacterium that can be found in sugar rich plant saps.
Zymomonas mobilis is a promising microorganism in the biotechnological production of ethanol and levan due to its low biomass and high tolerance to ethanol concentrations.
Ethanol Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Zymomonas mobilis, Clostridium thermocellum and other Clostridium spp.
A Microbial Biorealm page on the genus Zymomonas mobilis. Zymomonas mobilis has the special Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway and it has excellent industrial characteristics, including low cell mass formation, high-specific productivity,ethanol yield. These include fast glucose catabolism, high ethanol.
