The genetics of aerotolerant growth in an alphaproteobacterium with a naturally reduced genome

ABSTRACTReduced genome bacteria are genetically simplified systems that facilitate biological study and industrial use. The free-living alphaproteobacterium Zymomonas mobilis has a naturally reduced genome containing fewer than 2,000 protein-coding genes. Despite its small genome, Z. mobilis thrives...
