Abstract  

The genes of adhB and pdc,coding ADHII and PDC respectively,are key genes of alcohol production pathway in Zymomonas mobilis.The following vectors,pUC-adhB,pUC-pdc and pUC-adhB-pdc,were created by inserting adhB and pdc into the plasmid pUC18. Both adhB and pdc have a ribosome binding site of rbcLS of Synechococcus sp.PCC7942. The results of biological activity detections showed that ribosome binding sites of rbcLS of PCC7942 can effectively induce the expression of adhB and pdc in E.coli. Jar fermentation showed that the recombined E.coli's ability of ethanol production was obviously improved compared with the initial strain. Aldehyde indicator plate was displaced by a new method for Biological activity detection because of its defects.The new method was as follows. Induced expression of the genes by IPTG,add substrates for the enzymes ADHII and PDC,cultivate for 0.5h to 1h at 37℃ and then add Schiff reagent.The results show that the improved method is more simple and reliable than Aldehyde indicator plate.
