title: Zymomonas ethanol fermentations.
abstract: Studies on various industrial raw materials indicate that a zymomonas process has its greatest commercial potential in fermenting starch-based substrates. High yields, productivities and ethanol concentrations can be achieved. Genetic manipulation is now being used to extend the substrate range to lactose and other carbohydrates.
