ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to novel strains of Pseudomonas putida, more specifically, to a novel strain of Pseudomonas putida which are tolerant to organic solvents including hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, ketones and their derivatives or mixtures thereof, and a mutant strain of said microorganism having the availability of genetic manipulation. The said Pseudomonas putida strains can be used in biotransformation in the presence of organic solvents and bioremediation of toxic organic compounds. Furthermore, they are useful as supply sources of resistance genes and cell fusion of organic solvent-tolerant microorganisms producing useful substances and the breeding of said microorganisms can be practiced in the art, which allows their universal use in the fields of bioreactor, liquid-waste treatment, protein engineering, etc.
