Abstract excerpt
A toluene-resistant variant of Pseudomonas putida KT2442, strain TOL, was isolated after liquid cultivation under xylene followed by toluene for 1 month in each condition. Almost all the populations of the variant strain formed small but readily visible colonies under toluene within 24 h at 30 degrees C. The toluene-resistant strain also showed an increase in resistance to some unrelated antibiotics. Several...
