Selected Pseudomonas putida strains able to grow in the presence of high butanol concentrations.
Adapted Pseudomonas putida strains grew in the presence of up to 6% (vol/vol) butanol, the highest reported butanol concentration tolerated by a microbe. P. putida might be an alternative host for biobutanol production, overcoming the primary limitation of currently used strains-insufficient product titers due to low butanol tolerance.
