Functional Gene Identification and Corresponding Tolerant Mechanism of High Furfural-Tolerant Zymomonas mobilis Strain F211

Furfural is a major inhibitor in lignocellulose hydrolysate for Zymomonas mobilis. A mutant F211 strain with high furfural tolerance was obtained from our previous study. Thus, its key tolerance mechanism was studied in the present study. The function of mutated genes in F211 was identified by funct...
