Lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable feedstock for fuel ethanol production, but it is
characterized by low mass and energy densities, and distributed production with relatively …

Zymomonas mobilis is a natural ethanologen with many desirable industrial biocatalyst
characteristics. In this review, we will discuss work to develop Z. mobilis as a model system …

Interest in engineered nanostructures has risen in recent years due to their use in energy
conservation strategies and biomedicine. To ensure prudent development and use of …

The majority of environmental problems arise from the use of conventional energy sources.
The liability of such problems along with the reduction of fossil energy resources has led to …

Thermophilic microorganisms are attractive candidates for conversion of lignocellulose to
biofuels because they produce robust, effective, carbohydrate-degrading enzymes and …

Biorefinery of biomass-based biofuels and biochemicals by microorganisms is a competitive
alternative of traditional petroleum refineries. Zymomonas mobilis is a natural ethanologen …

Great effort has been devoted to engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae with pentose
metabolism through the oxido-reductase pathway for cellulosic ethanol production, but …

Current biotechnology relies on a few well-studied model organisms, such as Escherichia
coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for which abundant information and efficient toolkits are …

Application of CRISPR-based technologies in non-model microorganisms is currently very
limited. Here, we reported efficient genome engineering of an important industrial …

Background To develop pathways for advanced biofuel production, and to understand the
impact of host metabolism and environmental conditions on heterologous pathway …
