Increase in Bioethanol Production by Zymomonas Mobilis by Addition Ofzinc Ions in the Alcohol Production Media
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been reported in literature that Z. mobilis has two types of alcohol dehydrogenase gene (ADH), one is Zinc inducible, and another is Iron (Ferrous) inducible. Therefore, it was attempted to increase the alcohol production by inducing the alcohol dehydrogenase activity by addition of Zinc ions. It was standardized that 10 mM Zinc sulphate addition to alcohol producing broth resulted in maximum increase in alcohol production in both shake flask and 2 litre fermentor and it was 1.46 fold (49%) more than the control (using alcohol producing broth without Zinc sulphate). There was 3.2 fold increases in alcohol dehydrogenase activity when it was measured in presence of 10 mM Zinc sulphate as compared to control (ADH activity measured using same cell lysate in the absence of Zinc sulphate).

Evaluation of Ethanol Production from Tannin-Reduced Carob Pod Extracts by Zymamonas Mobilis
Regarding some reported antimicrobial properties of tannins; Zymomonas mobilis was used to obtain ethanol from tannin-reduced carob pod extract (TR-CPE). Culture of 50 mL volume containing 7.5 g sugar at pH 5.5 and 0.03 g bacterial inoculums with shaking at 80 rpm was used. Using response surface methodology (RSM), the maximum ethanol concentration of 5.34 % w/v (higher than that reported earli...

In this study, renewable marine cellulose from red algae Gracilaria verrucosa was utilized for the production of bioethanol. Bioethanol from the red alga cellulose was produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation methods and the conversion value of the cellulose in Gracilaria verrucosa was estimated. Trichoderma viride fungus and Zymomonas mobilis bacterium were used for enzymatic hydr...
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 کاملN2 gas is an effective fertilizer for bioethanol production by Zymomonas mobilis.
A nascent cellulosic ethanol industry is struggling to become cost-competitive against corn ethanol and gasoline. Millions of dollars are spent on nitrogen supplements to make up for the low nitrogen content of the cellulosic feedstock. Here we show for the first time to our knowledge that the ethanol-producing bacterium, Zymomonas mobilis, can use N2 gas in lieu of traditional nitrogen supplem...

The ethanol fermenting genes such as pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase II (adh II) were cloned from Zymomonas mobilis and transformed into three different cellulolytic bacteria, namely Enterobacter cloacae JV, Proteus mirabilis JV and Erwinia chrysanthemi and their cellulosic ethanol production capability was studied. Recombinant E. cloacae JV was found to produce 4.5% and ...
