Systematic Adaptation of Bacillus licheniformis to 2-Phenylethanol Stress.
Appl Environ Microbiol
February 2023
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on 2-phenylethanol (2-PE), a compound with a rose-like scent that can inhibit the growth of microbes, particularly affecting the performance of those used in its production.
- - Bacillus licheniformis demonstrates a strong tolerance to 2-PE, and researchers used multi-omics technology to explore how this microbe manages 2-PE stress through antioxidant activation, metabolic pathway adjustments, and altering cell structure.
- - Findings from the study reveal potential genetic targets to enhance 2-PE resistance, emphasizing the importance of tolerance to organic solvents for effective microbial production of valuable compounds like 2-PE.
