Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acetic acid is a predominant by-product of lignocellulosic biofuel process, which inhibits microbial biocatalysts. Development of bacterial strains that are tolerant to acetic acid is challenging due to poor understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. RESULTS: In this study, we generated and characterized two acetic acid-tolerant strains of Zymomonas mobilis using...
