Abstract excerpt
To understand the mechanism underlying toluene resistance of a toluene-tolerant bacterium, Pseudomonas putida GM73, we carried out Tn5 mutagenesis and isolated eight toluene-sensitive mutants. None of the mutants grew in the presence of 20% (vol/vol) toluene in growth medium but exhibited differential sensitivity to toluene. When wild-type cells were treated with toluene (1% [vol/vol]) for 5 min, about 2% of the...
