Organic solvent tolerant microorganism (OSTM) is a novel extremophile and it hasn't been systematically studied until 1980s. Relying on certain mechanisms, the OSTM is able to effectively defend and decrease the toxicity from organic solvents, which enable the OSTM to be potentially applied in the industrial fields such as whole-cell catalysis and environmental treatment, etc.
In this study, Burkholderia sp.SIB005 was obtained through targeted screening with a capacity of producing lipase and organic so...
