Ethanol fermentation on the move
Article Abstract:
The growing demand for ethanol, an important product of the alcoholic beverage industry and also a fast growing fuel source has given rise to the engineering of new strains of fermentative microorganisms that can produce ethanol more efficiently. A report on the ethanologenic bacterium Zymomonas mobilis that is the complete genome sequence of one of these organisms is presented.

The genome sequence of the ethanologenic bacterium Zymomonas mobilis ZM4
Article Abstract:
The genomic characters of the Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 are compared with those of another Zymomonas mobilis strain, ZM1 and the features of the complete sequence are presented. The strain ZM4 is more tolerant of higher alcohol concentration than the type strain ZM1 and shows higher specific rates for growth, ethanol production, and glucose uptake.

Genome sequence of the ligonocellulose-bioconverting and xylose-fermenting yeast Pichia stipitis
Article Abstract:
The complete genome sequence of xylose-fermenting yeast Pichia stipitis is sequenced and assembled. The genome sequence has revealed unusual aspects of genome organization and has provided insights on how Pichia stipitis regulates its redox balance while very efficiently fermenting xylose under microaerobic conditions.
