Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria tolerant to organic solvents
S. Isken,J.A.M. de Bont +1 more
TL;DR: The current knowledge about exceptional strains that can grow in the presence of toxic solvents and the mechanisms responsible for their survival are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cis/trans isomerization of fatty acids as a defence mechanism of Pseudomonas putida strains to toxic concentrations of toluene
TL;DR: The membranes of the toluene- Adapted cells possessed a higher trans/cis ratio and had a higher lipid-ordering since the transition temperature was about 7 centigrade degrees higher compared to the non-adapted cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active efflux of toluene in a solvent resistant bacterium.
S. Isken,J.A.M. de Bont +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence that an energy-dependent export system may be responsible for the organic-solvent resistance of the solvent-tolerant strain Pseudomonas putida S12 is obtained by use of 14C-labeled toluene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Organic Solvents on the Yield of Solvent-Tolerant Pseudomonas putida S12
TL;DR: Solvent-tolerant microorganisms are useful in biotransformations with whole cells in two-phase solvent-water systems, but energy-consuming adaptation processes as well as the uncoupling effect of the solvents reduce the yield of the tolerant cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethanol tolerance and membrane fatty acid adaptation in adh multiple and null mutants of Kluyveromyces lactis.
TL;DR: The effects of ethanol and 1-octanol on growth and fatty acid composition of different strains of Kluyveromyces lactis containing a mutation in the four different alcohol dehydrogenase (KlADH) genes were investigated and a direct correlation between nonlethal ethanol concentrations and the decrease in the UI could be observed.
