Sucrose utilization by Zymomonas mobilis: formation of a levan.
1. Molar growth-yield coefficients of Zymomonas mobilis for glucose, fructose, glucose plus fructose, and sucrose are reported. Yield coefficients for sucrose are appreciably lower than those for the equivalent concentrations of glucose plus fructose. 2. Only 2.6% of [U-(14)C]glucose supplied in the growth medium is incorporated into cell substance by Z. mobilis utilizing glucose as the energy ...
متن کاملInfluence of fermentation conditions on levan production by Zymomonas mobilis CT2
Zymomonas mobilis produces two extracellular sucrases namely levansucrase (sac B) and sucrase (sac C). A mutant strain of Z. mobilis CT2 defective in sucrase sac C, constructed earlier by gene disruption, produced higher levels of levan (27.2 g L) than the parent strain B14023 (15.4 g L) from 200 g L of sucrose at 25°C and pH 5.0. Increasing fermentation temperature from 25 to 35°C enhanced eth...
متن کاملProduction of Acetaldehyde by Zymomonas mobilis.
Mutants of Zymomonas mobilis were selected for decreased alcohol dehydrogenase activity by using consecutively higher concentrations of allyl alcohol. A mutant selected by using 100 mM allyl alcohol produced acetaldehyde at a level of 4.08 g/liter when the organism was grown in aerated batch cultures on a medium containing 4.0% (wt/wt) glucose. On the basis of the amount of glucose utilized, th...
متن کاملEthanol production by Zymomonas mobilis in fed-batch fermentations.
The production of ethanol by Zymomonas mobilis NRRL B-4286 was studied in fed-batch cultures. Initial percent (w/v) glucose, rate of feed, and quantity of 50%; (w/v) glucose feed were varied. Glucose inhibition of growth rate occurred at concentrations greater than 8% (w/) Feed was begun after 4 h incubation. Feed volume was ca. 36%; of starting batch volume to get ca. 10%; (w/v) ethanol at har...
متن کاملGlycolytic enzymes in Zymomonas mobilis.
Raps, Shirley (University of Illinois, Urbana) and R. D. DeMoss. Glycolytic enzymes in Zymomonas mobilis. J. Bacteriol. 84:115-118. 1962-An enzyme extract of Zymomonas mobilis (Pseudomonas lindneri) was capable of fermenting glucose-6-phosphate to CO(2) and ethanol. The extract was found to contain phosphohexoisomerase, aldolase, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, but no demonstrable...
