Abstract
An enrichment method using D-cycloserine was designed for the isolatio n of spontaneous mutants of Zymomonas mobilis deficient in glucose or fructose utilization. The mutants could easily be isolated since they represented 80 to 90% of the population after two and three enrichment cycles. Glucokinase and fructokinase activities in the mutants were a ffected.
