Development of a starch-fermenting Zymomonas mobilis strain for bioethanol production.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biorefinery using microorganisms to produce biofuels and value-added biochemicals derived from renewable biomass offers a promising alternative to meet our sustainable energy and environmental goals. The ethanologenic strain Zymomonas mobilis is considered as an excellent chassis for constructing microbial cell factories for diverse biochemicals due to its outstanding industrial characteristics in ethanol production, high specific productivity, and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status. Nonetheless, the restricted substrate range constrains its application.

Results

The truncated ice nucleation protein InaK from Pseudomonas syringae was used as an autotransporter passenger, and α-amylase was fused to the C- terminal of InaK to equip the ethanol-producing bacte
