โฆ Synopsis
Growth and ethanol production by three strains of the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis were tested, at 40ยฐC, in a medium containing cellulose hydrolysate (hexose fraction) as carbon source. The thermotolerant mutant C107 exhibited the best growth compared to wild type ZM4 and to the osmotolerant mutant SBE 15. When cultivated in media supplemented with various nutrients, growth was only observed in presence of yeast extract (10 g/l) which acted both as a vitamin supplier and pH stabilizer. Using calcium pantothenate instead of yeast extract and sodium acetate to control pH resulted in growth inhibition by the high medium osmolality. Batch fermentation with pH control (KOH addition) showed good growth and ethanol production with the mineral medium.

The inclusion of specific salts in Zymomonas mobilis batch sucrose fermentations can limit by-product formation. Sorbitol and fructo-oligosaccharide formation can be reduced and ethanol production enhanced by manipulating mineral salt concentrations. Chloride salts reduced the production of biomass
The influence of initial substrate concentration on fermentation kinetics of Zymomonas mobilis on glucose has been studied in batch cultures over the range 50-190 gl-1 glucose. With increasing glucose, parameters relative to growth (B and RGX) are more rapidly and more noticeably affected than those
