Potential molecular mechanism of acidic-pH-tolerant mutant strains of Z. mobilis. Common mutations identified in two mutants (a); potential membrane modification (b); upregulation of the central metabolism producing enough ATP and reducing power (c); downregulation of flagella and chemotaxis reducing energy consumption (d); export of acidic substances by transporters (e); translocation of excess proton out of cell by F1Fo ATPase and electronic transport chain related complex (f); alkaline compound generation (g); downregulation of macromolecular repair system (h). The numbers after the gene locus in shadow represent the log2-based fold changes. Red indicates upregulated, blue indicates downregulated. BCAAs: branched-chain amino acids, ADA: adenosine deaminase, NIT: nitrilase
