چکیده
The first synthesis of the cyclopentitol units in bacterial hopanoids has been accomplished from D-glucosamine and the possible biological activity of the free cyclitols as glycosidase inhibitors has been studied.

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...
متن کاملPantothenate auxotrophy in Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 is due to a lack of aspartate decarboxylase activity.
The bacterium Zymomonas mobilis naturally produces ethanol at near theoretical maximum yields, making it of interest for industrial ethanol production. Zymomonas mobilis requires the vitamin pantothenate for growth. Here we characterized the genetic basis for the Z. mobilis pantothenate auxotrophy. We found that this auxotrophy is due to the absence of a single gene, panD, encoding aspartate-de...
متن کاملCharacterization of native ethanol producing Zymomonas spp. isolated from natural environments in Iran
Ethanol is renewable and safe fuel and it is mainly produced based on microbial fermentation. The present study aims to isolate and identify ethanol producing Zymomonas spp. from natural environments with characterization, optimization and evaluation of their ethanol productivity. Samples were screened for ethanol producing bacteria on RM medium. Ethanol producing isolates were selected for cha...
متن کاملConstruction of an integrative shuttle vector for Zymomonas mobilis.
An integrative shuttle vector, pZMOCP1, was constructed by ligating EcoRV digests of the plasmid cloning vector pBluescript and pZMP1, a cryptic plasmid of Zymomonas mobilis PROIMI A1. The 7.2-kb plasmid pZMOCP1 replicated in Escherichia coli and could also be transferred from this host by electroporation to Z. mobilis ATCC 29191. The transformants were selected by ampicillin resistance. The in...
متن کاملThermal Tolerance of Zymomonas mobilis: Temperature-Induced Changes in Membrane Composition.
The membrane composition of Zymomonas mobilis changed dramatically in response to growth temperature. With increasing temperature, the proportion of vaccenic acid declined with an increase in myristic acid, the proportion of phosphatidylcholine and cardiolipin increased with decreases in phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol, and the phospholipid/protein ratio of the membrane declin...
