The results of ethanol fermentation studies performed in the presence of high concentration of glucose (>200 g l⁻¹) under fermentative or aerobic conditions indicated that a significant reduction of volumetric ethanol productivity from the strain of ZM4 gnlΔ was noticeable due to the reduced rates of specific growth, sugar uptake, and biomass yield as compared with those of the parental strain ZM4. The biotransformation prepared at pH 6.0 using the permeabilized cell indicated that gluconic acid from ZM4 gnlΔ was still produced as a major product (67 g l⁻¹) together with sorbitol (65 g l⁻¹) rather than gluconolactone after 24 h. Only small amount of gluconolactone was transiently overproduced up to 9 g l⁻¹, but at the end of biotransformation, all gluconolactone were oxidized into gluconic acid. This indicated that autolysis of gluconolactone at the pH led to such results despite under gluconolactonase inactivation conditions. The physiological characteristics of ZM4 gnlΔ was further investigated under various stress conditions, including suboptimal pH (3.5~6.0), temperature (25~40 °C), and presence of growth inhibitory molecules including hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, acetic acid, furfural, and so forth. The results indicated that ZM4 gnlΔ was more susceptible at high glucose concentration, low pH of 3.5, and high temperature of 40 °C and in the presence of 4 mM H₂O₂ comparing with ZM4. Therefore, the results were evident that gluconolactonase in Z. mobilis contributed to industrial robustness and anti-stress regulation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:44:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39707 Fri 17 Jun 2022 16:56:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44481 Fri 14 Oct 2022 08:50:23 AEDT ]]>
