This study investigates the role of PopZ in Zymomonas mobilis, finding it dispensable for growth but necessary for polar localization of ParB.

This paper confirms Zymomonas mobilis is polyploid and introduces a SacB-based counter-selection system for genome engineering.

This study shows that the lytic transglycosylase SleB in Zymomonas mobilis is crucial for cell fitness and stress tolerance through its role in peptidoglycan remodeling.

This study identifies peptidoglycan remodelling as a mechanism to improve salt resilience in Zymomonas mobilis by modulating the protease CtpA and peptidoglycan endopeptidase MepM.
