On the influence of different growth conditions to the resistance of some methylotrophic bacteria to aldehydes.
The resistance to formaldehyde of several facultatively methylotrophic bacteria has been investigated. The MIC-values were in the range of formaldehyde concentrations used for preservation purposes. The resistance could be explained partly by the action of aldehyde dehydrogenase found in two of the strains and by the development of a penetration barrier by the cell envelopes described formerly.
