Abstract

Z. mobilis is a microorganism that is not only an extremely efficient producer of alcohol, but also is capable of producing other metabolites in high concentrations under the correct culture conditions. The technology exists to manufacture fructose, sorbitol and gluconic acid at high yields and rates; all three are valuable chemicals. Levan and fructooligosaccharides represent further metabolites of interest, although the optimal conditions required for their formation are still unclear and their usefulness is yet to be fully established. Furthermore, several enzymes have a potential market and could be extracted from waste cell material using established affinity chromatography methods as byproducts of a Zymomonas process. Other minor byproducts are not produced in sufficient quantity to justify commercial interest.
