Adaptation of Pseudomonas putida S12 to high concentrations of styrene and other organic solvents.

Department of Food Science, Agricultural University, Wageningen, The Netherlands.

ABSTRACT

Pseudomonas putida S12 could adapt to grow on styrene in a two-phase styrene-water system. Acetate was toxic for P. putida S12, but cells were similarly able to adapt to higher acetate concentrations. Only by using these acetate-adapted cells was growth observed in the presence of supersaturating concentrations of toxic nonmetabolizable solvents such as toluene.
