✦ Synopsis
As a step towards constructing strains of Z. mobilis capable of converting cellulose to ethanol, DNA fragments encoding endoglucanase (from Xunthomonus albilineans) and /3-glucosidase (from either X.aZbiZineuns or Pseudomonus sp.) were linked on the same vector and transferred to Z. mobilis. All clones expressed endoglucanase. p-Glucosidase was only produced by clones containing the Xunthomonus gene, and when two copies of this gene were present the pglucosidase activity was higher.

Simultaneous overproduction of intracellular B-glucosidase and extracellular endoglucanase was attempted by constructing two artificial operon systems comprising the B-glucosidase-endoglueanase gene(BE) or the endoglucanase-B-glucosidase gene(EB) under the control of a strong engineered promoter, BJ
