Abstract | Most studies investigating mechanisms that confer microorganisms with tolerance to solvents have often focused on adaptive responses following exposure, while less attention has been given to inherent, or constitutive, processes that prevail at the onset of exposure to a toxic solvent. In this study, we investigated several properties of the highly solvent-tolerant bacterium Rhodococcus sp. 33 that confer it with a tolerance to high concentrations of benzene. When challenged with liquid benzene, the growth of |
