Bacterial Tolerance to Butanol Isomers: Quantitative Assess-ment and Transcriptomic Response
The highly toxic nature of 1-butanol makes it unsuitable for commercial production. By comparison, 2-butanol has similar fuel qualities but is supposedly less toxic. The comparison of the transcriptomic response in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to the presence of butanol isomers was performed by DEGs analysis.
