ABSTRACT

Gene expression profiles were collected from Escherichia coli strains (OST3410, TK33, and TK31) before and after exposure to organic solvents, and the six genes that showed higher gene expression were selected. Among these genes, glpC encoding the anaerobic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase subunit C remarkably increased the organic solvent tolerance.
