Fermentation pattern of sucrose to ethanol conversions by Zymomonas mobilis

General patterns of sucrose fermentation by two strains of Zymomonas mobilis, designated Z7 and Z10, were established using sucrose concentrations from 50 to 200 g/liter. Strain Z7 showed a higher invertase activity than Z10. Strain Z10 showed a reduced specific growth rate at high sucrose concentration while Z7 was unaffected. High sucrose hydrolyzing activity in strain Z7 lead to glucose accumulation in the medium at high sucrose concentrations. Ethanol production and fermentation time depend on the rate of catabolism of the products of sucrose hydrolysis, glucose and fructose. The metabolic quotients for sucrose utilization, qs, and ethanol production, qp (g/g·hr), are unsuitable for describing sucrose utilization by Zymomonas mobilis, as the logarithmic phase of growth precedes the phase of highest substrate utilization (g/liter·hr) and ethanol production (g/liter·hr) in batch culture.
