Zymomonas
Zymomonas is a genus of bacteria. Members of this genus are gram negative, facultative anaerobic, non-sporulating, polarly-flagellated, rod-shaped bacteria. The best known species from this genus is Zymomonas mobilis. It is a fermenting bacteria that contributes to cider sickness and beer spoilage.It has a near theoretical ethanol yield from glucose, no oxygen requirement thus negating the need for expensive oxygen transfer, and high ethanol tolerance making it an effective microbe for ethanol biofuel production. However, in spite of these attractive advantages, several factors prevent the commercial usage of Z. mobilis in cellulosic ethanol production. The foremost hurdle is that its substrate range is limited to glucose, fructose and sucrose. Wild-type Z. mobilis cannot ferment C5 sugars like xylose and arabinose which are important components of lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Unlike E. coli and yeast, Z. mobilis cannot tolerate toxic inhibitors present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates such as acetic acid and various phenolic compounds. Concentration of acetic acid in lignocellulosic hydrolysates can be as high as 1.5%, which is well above the tolerance threshold of Z. mobilis,

Zymomonas
A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that is not known to be pathogenic for man, animals, or plants. Its organisms are spoilers for beers and ciders and in sweet English ciders they are the causative agents of a secondary fermentation known as "cider sickness." The species Z. mobilis is used for experiments in molecular genetic studies.
