Efficient utilization of lignocellulosic feedstocks offers an opportunity to reduce the cost of producing fuel ethanol. The fermentation performance characteristics of recombinant Escherichia coli ATCC 11303 carrying the {open_quotes}PET plasmid{close_quotes} (pLO1297) with the lac operon controlling the expression of pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase 11 (adhB) genes cloned from Zymomonas mobilis CP4 were assessed in batch and continuous processes with sugar mixtures designed to mimic process streams from lignocellulosic hydrolysis systems.
