Zymomonas mobilis is an ethanologenic microbe that has a demonstrated potential for use in lignocellulosic biorefineries for bioethanol production. Z. mobilis exhibits a number of desirable characteristics for use as an ethanologenic microbe, with capabilities for metabolic engineering and bioprocess modification. Many advanced genetic tools, including mutation techniques, screening methods and genome editing have been successively performed to improve various Z. mobilis strains as potential consolidated ethanologenic microbes. Many bioprocess strategies have also been applied to this organism for bioethanol production. Z. mobilis biofilm reactors have been modified with various benefits, including high bacterial populations, less fermentation times, high productivity, high cell stability, resistance to the high concentration of substrates and toxicity, and higher product recovery. We suggest that Z. mobilis biofilm reactors could be used in bioethanol production using lignocellulosic substrates under batch, continuous and repeated batch processes.
