Abstract excerpt
Bacteria able to grow in aqueous:organic two-phase systems have evolved resistance mechanisms to the toxic effects of solvents. One such mechanism is the active efflux of solvents from the cell, preserving the integrity of the cell interior. Pseudomonas putida S12 is resistant to a wide variety of normally detrimental solvents due to the action of such an efflux pump. The genes for this solvent efflux pump were...
