pyruvate decarboxylase

Increased production rates of ethanol as the end product of sugar fermentation by the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis is primarily due to the presence of pyruvate decarboxylase, an enzyme rarely found in bacteria, more commonly occurring in fungi and plants. The activity of the enzyme in Z. mobilis, is higher than in any other source; even yeasts do not have such high levels in their cytoplasm. The enzyme constitutes over 5% of the readily soluble protein in Z. mobilis grown under normal conditions with glucose as substrate.
