Involvement of catalase and superoxide dismutase in hydrophobic organic solvent tolerance of Escherichia coli
Abstract Escherichia coli strains are generally sensitive to hydrophobic organic solvents such as n-hexane and cyclohexane. Oxidative stress in E. coli by exposure to these hydrophobic organic solvents has been poorly understood. In the present study, we examined organic solvent tolerance and oxygen...
