is a model bacterial ethanologen with many systems biology studies reported. Besides lignocellulosic ethanol production, has been developed as a platform for biochemical production through metabolic engineering. However, identification and rigorous understanding of the genetic origins of cellular function, especially those based in non-coding region of DNA, such as promoters and ribosomal binding sites (RBSs), are still in its infancy. This knowledge is crucial for the effective application of to new industrial applications of biotechnology for fuels and chemicals production.
