Kinetic studies on a highly productive strain of Zymomonas mobilis

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Previous studies have demonstrated that Zymomonas mobilis is a very promising organism for ethanol production. In the present study comparative kinetic data from batch and continuous cultures on glucose media are presented which show that a new strain of Z. mobilis has higher specific rates of growth and ethanol production as well as a higher tolerance to ethanol.
