Patent ID: 8383377

Claim:
A fermentative recombinant Zymomonas mobilis bacterium capable of fermenting glucose, mannose and xylose simultaneously, which is Zymomonas mobilis ZM mx42 (FERM BP-11025), which is produced by: integrating a gene encoding a phosphomannose isomerase of Escherichia coli origin into a levansucrase gene located on the chromosome of Zymomonas mobilis ZMcs (FERM BP-11024) as a host by double cross-over according to a homologous recombination method, and introducing a recombinant DNA into said host which is formed by binding a DNA fragment containing genes encoding a xylose isomerase, a xylulokinase, a transaldolase and a transketolase, wherein said genes comprised in said vector are of Escherichia coli origin.
