| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is the development of genetically engineered ethanologenic bacteria, Zymobacter and Zymomonas strains, capable of producing bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass directly. We have been clarifying the important genes taking part in an efficient production of bioethanol in these bateria. First of all, the whole genome sequences of the strains were analyzed completely, and then the DNA microarray was constructed based on our genome information. By the DNA microarray analyses of recombinant strains during ethanol fermentation, we have found several important genes functioning in the ethanol production and in sugar transport.
