Abstract:
 The wild-type strain Zymomonas mobilis TISTR548 has a critical temperature for its
growth and ethanol production at 38 C. To obtain a high potential thermotolerant strain of
this ethanologenic bacterium, this wild-type strain was subjected to chemical mutagenesis
using ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS). After EMS treatment, the mutagenized cells were screened
at temperatures ranging from 38 to 40 C. The results showed that only six mutant strains,
designated ZM EMS-52, ZM EMS-121, ZM EMS-143, ZM EMS-229, ZM EMS-263
and ZM EMS-297, could grow and produce a relatively high level of ethanol at 40 C.
Among these mutants, ZM EMS-229 displayed higher growth and ethanol production
capacity than did the wild-type and other mutants at 37 and 40 C. This mutant strain also
showed greater resistance to high concentrations of ethanol, acetic acid and H2O2 at high
temperature than did the wild-type. These findings suggested that the ZM EMS-229 was a
good candidate for high-temperature ethanol fermentation.
