An extracellular organic solvent-tolerant protease producer has been successfully isolated out of 11 isolates of benzene-toluene-xyleneethylbenzene (BTEX) tolerant bacteria. This organic solvent-tolerant microorganism was found to be a polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons (PAHs) degrader and identified

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Purification and characterization of a novel protease produced by __Bacillus__ sp. RKY3, has been investigated, with special emphasis on the stability of the enzyme in the presence of different oxidizing and reducing agents as well as organic solvents. The enzyme was pur
## Abstract An organic solventβtolerant bacterium, designated as __Pseudomonas__ sp. BCNU 171, was isolated from industrial wastewater in Korea, on the basis of its ability to survive in the presence of benzene, toluene, propylbenzene and xylenes. Its tolerance limits were 8 mM in phenol, 20 mM in
