Description

Xiongying Yan and fifteen co-authors tame a stubborn bacterium into a factory chassis by deliberately hobbling its favorite pathway. Zymomonas mobilis ferments fast and hard for industry, yet its dominant ethanol route starves rival products. An enzyme-aware genome model first mapped its flux habits. The team then inserted a mild but cofactor-unbalanced butanediol pathway to loosen ethanol's grip, forming an intermediate chassis.

On that chassis a D-lactate strain poured out over 140 grams per liter from glucose, and over 104 from corncob waste liquor, at near-total yield. Cost and life cycle checks supported commercial promise and carbon cuts. The recipe may generalize to other stubborn microbes.
