Abstract High oil prices, increasing focus on renewable carbohydrate-based feedstocks for fuels and chemicals, and the recent publication of its genome sequence, have provided continuing stimulus for studies on Zymomonas mobilis. However, despite its apparent advantages of higher yields and faster specific rates when compared to yeasts, no commercial scale fermentations currently exist which use Z. mobilis for the manufacture of fuel ethanol. This may change with the recent announcement of a Dupont/Broin partnership to develop a process for conversion of lignocellulosic residues, such as corn stover, to fuel ethanol using recombinant strains of Z. mobilis. The research leading to the construction of these strains, and their fermentation characteristics, are described in the present review. The review also addresses opportunities offered by Z. mobilis for higher value products through its metabolic engineering and use of specific high activity enzymes.

Zymomonas mobilis has attracted considerable interest over the past decades as a result of its unique metabolism and ability to rapidly and efficiently produce ethanol from simple sugars. An early paper by Millis [1] characterized the role which Zymomonas sp. play in causing cider sickness and a comprehensive review by Swings and DeLey [2] provided much of the background for the subsequent stimulus in research activity in the early 1980s which followed the first of the “oil price shocks”. Further reviews over the ensuing decades [3-9] included extensive data on genetic and kinetic characterization of strains of Zymomonas mobilis capable of growing on an increasingly wide range of sugars. In a fine example of metabolic (pathway) engineering, recombinant strains of Z. mobilis were reported in 1995/6 from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Golden, CO, USA, that were capable of the efficient conversion to ethanol of the C5 sugars, xylose and arabinose present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates [10,11]. Most recently, the reporting of the complete genome sequence of Z. mobilis ZM4 (ATCC 31821) [12] has opened up further potential for strain enhancement and for its use for higher value products.
Table 1 provides an outline of the key research milestones which have occurred for Z. mobilis over the past three decades with the present review focusing particularly on those developments which have been reported over the past 5-10 years.
