Using global transcription machinery engineering (gTME) to improve ethanol tolerance of Zymomonas mobilis

Conclusions: Collectively, these results demonstrate that the RpoD mutation can enhance ethanol tolerance in Z. mobilis. Our results also suggested that RpoD may play an important role in resisting high ethanol concentration in Z. mobilis and manipulating RpoD via global transcription machinery engineering (gTME) can provide an alternative and useful approach for strain improvement for complex phenotypes.
