Zymomonas mobilis: bringing an ancient human tool into the genomic era.
Zymomonas mobilis is an ethanologenic bacterium that has been used for over 1500 years to produce alcoholic beverages. Recently, this microbe has become a top candidate for biofuel production due to its efficient metabolism. Z. mobilis is being developed to utilize lignocellulosic biomass as a feedstock and synthesize a range of valuable chemicals and fuels. Genetic and metabolic engineering strategies are crucial to reach these goals. Recent advances include genome engineering, CRISPR editing, and CRISPRi knockdown of genes. Metabolic engineering has enabled redirection of carbon from the natural product ethanol to chemicals such as 2,3-butanediol and polyhydroxybutyrate. The approaches summarized here will streamline the development of Z. mobilis as an industrial chassis for sustainable liquid fuels and chemicals.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Biotechnology (COBIOT) is renowned for publishing authoritative, comprehensive, and systematic reviews. By offering clear and readable syntheses of current advances in biotechnology, COBIOT assists specialists in staying updated on the latest developments in the field. Expert authors annotate the most noteworthy papers from the vast array of information available today, providing readers with valuable insights and saving them time.
As part of the Current Opinion and Research (CO+RE) suite of journals, COBIOT is accompanied by the open-access primary research journal, Current Research in Biotechnology (CRBIOT). Leveraging the editorial excellence, high impact, and global reach of the Current Opinion legacy, CO+RE journals ensure they are widely read resources integral to scientists' workflows.
COBIOT is organized into themed sections, each reviewed once a year. These themes cover various areas of biotechnology, including analytical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, food biotechnology, energy biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, systems biology, nanobiotechnology, tissue, cell, and pathway engineering, chemical biotechnology, and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
