Abstract excerpt
Water-immiscible organic solvents can be toxic to microorganisms. The tolerance levels differ among strains of Escherichia coli, suggesting that the organic solvent tolerance level is strain specific and determined genetically. We constructed several mutants from E. coli, of which the organic sol...
