Molecular Cloning, Sequencing and Expression of an Organic Solvent-Tolerant Lipase Gene from Bacillus Sphaericus 205Y

Previously, a total of 131 organic solvent tolerant isolates originating from soil samples were successfully isolated via direct plating method using 1% (v/v) of either benzene, toluene, or a mixture of benzene and toluene as their sole carbon sources. Six out of these isolates demonstrated high...
