Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on enhancing microbial chassis cells, particularly the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis, for better performance in the circular economy.
  • Researchers improved the genome-scale metabolic model of Z. mobilis to overcome limitations in producing valuable biochemicals like D-lactate by introducing a new production pathway.
  • The findings also highlight the potential for commercialization and environmental benefits of using lignocellulosic materials for D-lactate production, paving the way for advancing biorefinery techniques.

Molasses with abundant sugars is widely used for bioethanol production. Although the ethanologenic bacterium can use glucose, fructose, and sucrose for ethanol production, levan production from sucrose reduces the ethanol yield of molasses fermentation. To increase ethanol production from sucrose-rich molasses, was adapted in molasses, sucrose, and fructose in parallel.

A promoter plays a crucial role in controlling the expression of the target gene in cells, thus being one of the key biological parts for synthetic biology practices. Although significant efforts have been made to identify and characterize promoters with different strengths in various microorganisms, the compatibility of promoters within different hosts still lacks investigation. In this study, we chose the native P promoter of to investigate nucleotide sequences within promoter regions affecting promoter compatibility between and .
